I have a Z10, but it sits in my Gucci shoe box of old phones. I pull it out every so often to see if anything has changed for the better. It hasn't.

I use Skype on my iPhone 5S, iPad Mini, and laptop. The main reason it's garbage on BB10 is that the ported Android version will annihilate the battery when it's running because it doesn't comply with the power-saving features of native BB10 apps. When I used my Z10 regularly, I could get 6-8 hours out of it before it needed to be charged (30% battery). If I left Skype running, it was 4-6 at most. I started to just close the app after I used it to make my call, which was fine as I have call forwarding active on Skype, but your situation may be different.
