Skillshare: Online Classes App

will not work with an android phone! When going into the app it kicks you out. So I paid $168 for an app I cant use! I would like to get a refund and will be looking for the contact information for Skillshare. It wouldn't be such a huge blow if it was a monthly fee not a yearly fee. More than extremely disappointed. Actually quite furious. *** To follow up on my review: I sent an email to Skillshare and they did refund my money to my account within a day.

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. (No biggie; just want the option. ) I have trouble posting more than 1 photo for a class. These are my difficulties. Other than that, it's great.

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 they painted) Several years later I decided to try again to learn to paint. I went ahead and bought a year's subscription when it went on sale for only $60. They now offer TONS of classes.

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 tracking cookies. I shouldn't have to allow myself to be tracked to cancel membership. They didn't require that setting to charge me for my membership.

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 want to learn really mainstream things like drawing or machine sewing, it has stuff for that, but you can also find tutorials for stuff like that for free on youtube. It's really not worth paying for this.

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 a good way to sort them to see the newest or highest rated. These are things from the desktop experience that should be included in the app.

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 thought I would be interested in. I love the variety of offerings and will most likely never get through my wishlist of courses. No glitches or lag time, the app runs flawlessly, love it!

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 just long periods where I get super busy and can't take classes. I think as a business they are leaving a lot of potential customers out of the table.

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 down $168 all at once, I would rather be billed monthly (yes even if it costs more in the long run) because I have bills to pay that I would have to skip paying for in order to afford this. This isn't poverty friendly.

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 the playback speed has also disappeared. i definitely won't be renewing with this company.

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 is clunky, and very difficult to search or find much. More than anything it needs better filter searches and easier navigation. Outside of that, the content is what to expect, fantastic.

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 category, the user needs to scroll all the way to the bottom and then click on a dropdown menu. On the other hand a simple hamburger menu with categories would easily make the app much more usable.

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 your phone or tablet, they depend a lot on computers and that doesn't fit my life style, that is making me want to explore other learning apps, to see if one of them would offer a better interface...

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 taking your chances on buying one class, you can try out a variety for one price.

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 classes to my list. Also, could use a night mode. The constant downward scrolling with the white background made me very motion sick even with my phone's brightness on lowest setting.

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 to say I stopped using it after a very short time. I have now been charged for another year subscription for 2019 because it apparently auto renews and have been denied a refund even though the app still doesn't work, I haven't used it, and I requested the refund within 24 hours of being notified of the charge. $99.99 is no small amount to lose for an app that isn't functional.

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 have access to. This is ridiculous, as well as they want you to pay for the full year up front. The original payment plan was just fine, why you guys changed it is beyond me. Very upset and disappointed in your app.

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 page within skillshare once I go back to the class and hit play it wont play. I have to completely close out of skillshare and stop the running of the app totally and reboot before it will play again. Fyi.

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 with authorization), the entire amount was not available. Why would it have to be if I wasn't to be charged until after the trial? I deleted it.

It's a good and concept, but after my trial is over, I won't subscribe. The price is a little out of my range for classes I'm not interested in. I wish it was like Udemy where you can buy the individual classes. I did 2 classes on skillshare, one on blender 3d, which I learned a lot and one on novella. That guy didn't seem interested in what he was doing.
