I attempted to sign up with a promo code from a podcast that SS sponsored. The promo deal was not as advertised and although I was supposed to be charged only following the free trial period, my card was declined because although there were funds available (in case a small amount was to be charged […]

The app is buggy as hell. Most of the “experts” aren’t offering anything you can’t find for free on YouTube. Because the issues with the app I forgot to cancel my account before being charged for a year’s subscription to the premium tier. A couple of weeks ago I decided to check it out again […]

So far, I am enjoying the couple lessons Ive done. However, the teachers have mentioned handouts or attachments and what not which I have not been able to find in the mobile app version. Also, on every class now, if I pause and move off the video to either another app or just to another […]

I used to really love this app, it was a great, cheap alternative to college (want to be an animator/illustrator and lots of people said this was just as good) however now all the classes that I want to take (and some I was in thr middle of) are premium classes that I no longer […]

Awful experience. I paid $99.99 for this service in 2018 and constantly found myself unable to access content because videos were locked in spite of me being a premium member. When I could use the app my saved classes constantly disappeared and video load times took forever because you can only watch in HD. Needless […]

Skillshare as a service is pretty legit as far as I can tell, I just have the free service for now as I browse the library. The app, however, is weird to navigate, and not particularly user freindly. It took me a bit to figure out how to search the catalog of classes & add […]

I love this app. I’ve been using my downtime to learn a lot of useful skills. I was going to try to just learn what I could during the free trial, but just ended up purchasing the year subscription. There’s a lot of relevant content. I prefer their set up compared to udemy’s. Rather than […]

SkillShares app offers all of the amazing, and polished courses you’ll find on their desktop website. I often use it as a way to cast courses to my living room TV if I want to enjoy a class with my girlfriend or just want to get out of the office. Outside of that, the app […]

As a mom with limited time this was the perfect app for me!!! I wanted to learn different kinds of creative techniques and you can find it all, I usually watch it while my baby naps. The only thing I don’t love about it, and actually hate, is how you cannot organize the classes trough […]

I’m sorry to say, the UX of the android app is pretty bad. For example, after poking about quite a lot, I was unable to even change my profile picture. On the contrary, their website, even on a mobile browser is MUCH more usable. Here is an examples of my frustrations: – To browse by […]

disappointed in the app and the company. great concept, sub-par delivery. the classes aren’t dated, so you have no idea what’s still relevant. limited sorting and filtering. very big range in quality of teaching. opened the app today and it didn’t resume or show any indication of where i left off. the ability to increase/decrease […]

There is NO option to pay monthly! $168 per year billed immediately after your free first month…. I have too much student loan debt to go back to college, so I thought maybe an app like this would be nice, and while it is a decent enough price for a year, I can’t just throw […]

I used to love Skillshare. They had great creative classes and great instructors who are working in their industry. Unfortunately, their pricing structure has changed and requires an annual membership. I would love to be a loyal monthly customer or if they base their subscription on a 1, 3, or 6 month period. There are […]

At first I wasn’t sure if the subscription fee would be worth it. I thought I would try the free trial and cancel before the due date. Wow, was I surprised. Skillshare offers a multitude of phenomenal classes. I find myself clicking this app instead of playing games. I have tried classes I never even […]

I love skillshare, and I’ve been using it for. years on desktop, but the app leaves a lot to be desired. The app doesn’t sync my class lists and saved classes. As a premium user I can see all of the videos, but they load slowly. When viewing classes and class projects there is not […]

i got this because there was a free trial and i have a few new hobbies i wanted to get better at. So I signed up for an account and searched for some classes. Absolutely everything I tried searching for either only brought up completely unrelated results, or no results. I guess if you just […]

I signed up because of a referring YouTuber I enjoy. The amount of courses and classes are overwhelming, and are thoroughly wonderful. I think the platform, and how this company handles their technology is very much concerning. They will not allow logging into your own account to access billing preferences unless you enable 3rd party […]

I got a free month trial after it first started but did not pay for anything afterwards because of the lack of classes they offered for learning watercolor. I tried learning by watching youtube, but I never made it very far due to the lack of detailed explanations most artists offered (mostly just showing what […]

This is an incredibly scammy bait and switch. I had an annual subscription, for which they are supposed to send a reminder 30 days prior to renewal. I received no reminder and when I tried to cancel the moment I saw the renewal charge, the nice customer service people suddenly started acting like the mafia. […]

I love the classes! Maneuvering around the site is not intuitive for me. Specifically, when I click on my app icon it often goes to the first class I took and starts the lesson again. I’m not sure how to edit my profile. I didn’t realize my full name would be posted with my projects. […]
