Skillshare Reviews & Product Details

There's a good selection of learning resources. It's a simple and easy learning experience.

Don't forget to cancel. Most people don't plan on using this forever. If you're in this group, remember to cancel your membership. It's easy to forget and of course ... There's a zero refund policy on renewals.

I'm learning how to write better cover letters, at the moment.

Many of the classes were of a good quality and I used it for years, learning many new skills.

After using Skillshare for several years under a monthly plan, they booted me out of the plan without any notice. Then, every time I logged in, I was pointed to a screen where I had no choice but to subscribe to a costly annual plan. When I contacted customer service they were incredibly unhelpful and pretended like I just suddenly wasn't a subscriber anymore and that there was no wrong on their end. I imagine that Skillshare must suddenly want to convert their earlier monthly members who were paying $9.99 a month to yearly members and this was a sneaky, incredibly unprofessional way to go about it. I can't imagine how many members they have upset with this bizarre move.

They aren't solving any problems at this time.

I was initially attracted to the variety of creators.

The quality of the creators I viewed wasn't great. The customer service seemed helpful at the beginning, but they turned out not to be as Skillshare has some unusual policies.

I was trying to get better at video shooting and editing. I didn't really get a ton of benefit. I learned some things no doubt, but the quality wasn't what I expected.

I wish I could tell you what I love best about their website, too bad they canceled my account after charging me for a one-year Premium Subscription and I didn't get to use their shitty platform too much.

Their customer experience. It seems like only incompetent outsourced indians look after their customers and this hurts their trust a lot. No answer in more than 30 days and I've tried to contact them everywhere - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, email - and no real human tried to contact me back. If their customer experience had been a ship, it would have been Titanic. Total failure.

I tried using it for personal development, but it's hard to watch tutorials when your account is cancelled for no reason.

At this point nothing They have no proper system in place for billing but they have fun courses

I joined skillshare premium and it has been so useful! However a few days ago I got billed $99 over 4 times in one day essentially cleaning my bank account out and my bank thinking it was fraud(Which essentially it was) closed my account due to suspicious activity. I mailed skillshare explaining my situation and a woman mailed me back and i quote "Thanks for reaching out! As requested, I've gone ahead and made sure your membership " 1 i didnt ask to cancel my account 2 you still owe me my money I messaged them asking them what they would need from me to do a refund on the excess amount and have heard nothing back from them...

they have amazing content on an unstable platform

I love the concept and have found a few classes I like.

The platform seems to have streaming issues. Both the website and the Android app take forever to load and frequently stall. I've tried on several devices, so it's not a device or browser issue, and I can watch Netflix and YouTube with no issues or stall at all, so it isn't my internet.

I am so excited to learn new skills to use at work and in hobbies.

I though I was going to have access to high quality instructional videos, which they offer pretty good teases of but the actual content was below satisfactory.

They have predatory billing practices and have just stolen $100 for a service I did not request. They also are not responsive. At all. It really has left a bad taste in my mouth.

None. I have more problems now that I'm a $100 poorer!

I like that I'm able to learn more about things I'm already doing as well as new information in fields I'm not as familiar with.

I have nothing I dislike about Skillshare; it's been very useful.

I've been able to learn more about Digital Marketing and I've been able to better serve my clients.

SkillShare is one of the great educational platform for learning which we ever seen in our life. It's learning process, experienced instructors and affordable pricing model to everyone. I love the user interface of website as well. If you practically think about the process of learning business. We also share video courses to our employees and they learned many topics by Skillshare like Html, GIFs Creation, Adobe Photoshop and many more softwares including programming skills they learn during their free timing. I'm very much impressed with SkillShare and I love to continue our future work with SkillShare.

They should add more payment methods like Bitcoin / Crypto payment. If they allow crypto payments then more people can join from different countries. They can be more educated within it. Otherwise there's nothing I don't like about the platform, in my opinion it's perfect.

We're solving our business problems including finance and quantitative trading mathematics in our finance business. Our clients problems are also being solved with some of courses in finance section of SkillShare. We thrive to share more & more clients to solve their own business problems in future for further business improvements.

Skillshare has done an amazing job providing a very wide variety of tech and non-tech centered courses. The quality and range of content is exactly what I was looking for. They also run very good marketing campaigns, allowing new users to use a one month free trial before subscribing.

There is no discount for students, and there is no structure that allows you to subscribe at different price points. If you don't want to pay $99 for the unlimited plan, there is no cheaper option (although they do offer some free abbreviated courses).

Skillshare has allowed me to learn how to better my illustration skills, and helped me learn new skills in Illustrator, InDesign, and After Effects.

I love Skillshare because there are such a wide variety of lessons and videos to learn from and really helped me hone my skills.

It got a little pricey for me and unfortunately I had to stop using it.

I am running a greeting card business and it helped to hone my skills of hand lettering, digitizing my work, and illustration.

Whether you're using Skillshare as a platform to teach or as a learner, it is a easy to navigate and utilize tool. It offers a variety of classes that can be used in the classroom or to learn yourself. It also offers the ability for you to upload your own classes.

It can be a little tricky to navigate all the classes that are offered. There could be a better set up for organizing/categorizing.

This allows for flipping the classroom in a very effective way. It let me create individualized learning and allowed me to continue learning skills to share within my own classroom.

I like the wide variety of courses that are available in many different areas that support creatives in business. The fact that you can take courses on digitizing watercolor painting alongside how to structure your business is really handy!

It can be difficult to know what the course actually entails - the syllabus doesn't seem to be very detailed.

It's a fun way to see things that are popular that you may not have thought "I need to know this" and shows you what people are interested in. This helps to tailor other content and ideas.

I like the rating system. This helps me determine the usefulness of a video set. I also like how Skillshare is constantly expanding it's catalogue and categories of interest. It's definitely not just for artists -- this is for creative learners. I like the user-contributed project galleries because I find it inspiring to see what other people have done after taking a course. I also like how they have an app so that I can continue videos on the go.

Some of the courses are not well-vetted. That's why the reviews are helpful. Some of the courses do not have high-quality presenters or they are poorly made and edited. While I know Skillshare is trying to get more content, I do believe they should have some threshold for quality of courses. Although, there are PLENTY of courses that have excellent, interesting presenters with great quality.

It's helpful for me to learn new skills on an individual level.

I love the teachers who have put their experience/expertise in a specific subject into a video format. I also love how the lessons are broken up so you can jump back to rewatch a video for references or come back and complete the lesson later on. I also enjoyed how there were emails that showed recommended courses!

Being a student I was not a fan of the pricing of the product. It does cost $100 for the subscription up front, but I think it would be better to have a type of monthly subscription plan to help ease the financial burden of a student.

There are a lot of videos that are introductory, which can help build a foundation for a specific area. As well as multiple other videos to help build up your soft skills, such as leadership and organizational. I find that it's sometimes hard to really pinpoint what you need help with when it comes to soft skills and having video references are great for people who don't know exactly how to start to improve those skills or who don't have the opportunity to work on them.

The variety of offerings and easy to follow videos.

Not much to complain about but one of the classes I wanted to sign up for was no longer available. Would love to be able to access archived material.

Used outside of work for personal development and skill building.

I liked that I could communicate with instructors though email.

I heard that all of the instructors are not licensed, or even involved in their profession for a long period of time.

I question the quality a bit. I was hoping for more personalized one-on-one contact.

I haven't used SkillShare's service and don't have an interest in it.

Predatory subscription model. I created an account when a colleague mentioned it, which requires a credit card. SkillShare is using the popular tech money grab strategy of a subscription model nobody wants. In large font - the monthly price; in tiny font - the fact that it would be billed annually. I will risk forgetting to cancel a trial in exchange for a one-month charge to my card, but annual by default is business in bad faith. I tried rejecting the charge via my bank, but apparently, that didn't process successfully. Unfortunately, with bank delays, I wasn't sure that it hadn't successfully rejected the charge until it was too late. Their explicit policy is "We don't offer refunds for annual memberships after 7 days of the charge."

I haven't even used the service.

There were some unique courses that I'm not sure I would be able to find in other services

Expensive subscription. I was charged monthly following a free trial and was not notified that my card was being charged. I ended up paying a lot of money for a service I wasn't even using. It was also painfully difficult to cancel it. When I reached out to customer service about it, they were largely unhelpful. I think that instead of tricking customers into accidentally paying for their service, they should focus on motivating customers to want to actively purchase their content.

I'm not sure I received many benefits from Skillshare. Some of the content was interesting, but not worth the price in my opinion

I don't really have anything positive to say. I had very negative experiences with the customer service of this company and I cannot recommend using their service.

The content is shallow, often worse than what you can find on youtube for free. Not only that, they give a free trial then charge you credit card for a year ($99) without warning, and refuse to refund when complaints are made.

I haven't really had any benefits, other than being more careful not to sign up with sketchy services in the future. I would definitely not recommend using the service to others.
