I'm having a problem with Skype?

I have the Skype app for my iPhone 5C and notifications do not work 95% of the time. Currently I'm using Skype on my laptop and out of the dozens of messages I've received, my phone only got one or two notifications. How can I fix this? According to the notification settings in both the app and my phone's settings, everything should be working fine.

Messages sending slow on ios8?

I have an iphone 5c, and ever since i updated to ios 8, which was the first day it came out, my texts/imessages have been sending beyond slowly. When i had ios 7 they would literally send right when i pushed the send button, now it takes at least 10-25 seconds each time after i send it. I know it isn't my Wi-Fi or anything because even when i'm in another place under another Wi-Fi network, it still sends slow. Any solutions or fixes?

How to create an app for the iPhone?

I'm a 20 year old college student double majoring in business management and marketing and I came up with an idea to create a certain app.
I have zero computer science skills or coding or ANYTHING of the sort. Is there a way I can pay someone to create an app for me if i gave them a design? Or if and how i can create one myself? How long it'll take me to make? What programs to recommend?

I recently sold an IPhone 4 on the internet however the buy is saying he has a problem?

He bought the phone off ebay about a week ago, and received it the other day; however, he set me an email saying to access the iphone he needed my apple ID since it was still linked to the phone or I need to delete the device off my account which I don't know how to do, but I'm positive I restored the phone to factory settings erasing any details off the phone so I don't know how it handle this, when I've set up iPhones before I could enter my apple ID later in the process, its never being a requirement, and I don't see why it isn't giving him the option of logging in with an alternative ID, can someone tell me if hes trying to get my details or telling the truth- the card linked to my ID has expired anyway so he couldn't purchase anything, are there any other risks involved

All answers appreciated
