That being said sometimes when you submit a trick people will not approve your submission or tell you why. That or it could be something vague like “trick was missed” which for the person gives them nothing to improve on. More constructive criticism would be better but that’s about it for the flaws. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your feedback and trying out the app. Some users are very quick, some leave longer comment what is wrong with the product. You can always report the video to admin or ask in the chat. The community of players and there are always people ready to help. We hope to see you back and giving learning with Skill Addicts one more shot. All the best - Vashek K. ### 3/5 — Great for learning but too many ads *2024-11-05* Layout is a great way to learn tricks with a generally positive and engaged community. It's too bad there are so many forced, Fullscreen, unskippable ads that poison the experience. It's one thing to offer ads as an optional avenue for extra pills, etc. It's much worse to force fullscreen ads that can't be immediately skipped or closed. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for giving a try to the app. Mobile app development, servers, coding, filming tutorials unfortunately brings costs. We would love to offer this app completely for free but ads are only way how we can offer this app to users for free without any payment. You can get ad free version with subscription fee. -Vasek K. ### 4/5 — Change the YO-YO *2024-01-31* I mean like it’s a good app 👍but the tutorials use a sleeper and I use a normal yo-yo so I can’t do a single trick😡 the tutorial shows.😭 ### 3/5 — Alright *2023-10-28* Its a good app but it won’t let me just take the 5 pills after I unlock an achievement, and when I try to take the double pills, it says “failed to load ad” but I’m connected to WiFi please change this. Thank you. **Developer response:** Hello Marzbubble, thanks for playing the app. We have already fixed this bug in last update, it is all working fine now. Enjoy the app! - Vashek K. ### 3/5 — Could Be Better! *2023-08-28* Like it just wish the judging system is better… like for the videos with MORE than 5 disapproves should be rejected. There’s admins that abuse power and misjudge just to get xp and promotes this type of judging. Admins don’t promote the tutorials so, you have people not watching them to do the tricks right. **Developer response:** Hello YoyoHammer, thanks for your review. We will keep working on improving Skill Addicts app so that our users gets best service. All the best, Vashek K. ### 5/5 — Game changer *2023-05-19* Game changer for whoever wants to learn or develop their yoyo skills, from beginner to expert! The gamification and community support make learning fun and way more effective than any other method I’ve tried before. It’s impossible not to notice your progress by learning together with thousands of other people, who are practicing at the same time and going through the same path as you (and you can check their progress too!) On top of that, the app gives you points for every completed task, which can be exchanged for free yoyos, strings and merch! It’s that kind of “how didn’t anybody think about making this before?” app. 10/10 **Developer response:** Hello Dafvus, thank you very much for your feedback. We really do appreciate it. We are sincerely glad that you enjoy our app. After several years and thousands of hours of developing Skill Addicts, this is something that motivates us to keep improving Skill Addicts! ### 4/5 — Amazing *2023-05-13* This is a good app but I don’t like that I need to send a video to get the xp **Developer response:** Hello Ryan, Thank you very much for your review. We understand that it may seem useless to film a video of every trick. But it is very important. It motivates you to really learn the trick and also it gives other users an opportunity to feedback your yoyoing. The feedback feature from other yoyo players is something that makes this app special and it is reason why people progress so fast while learning yoyoing with Skill Addicts. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Great concept but... *2025-09-22* The app has two problems. 1-users can vote to approve a submitted trick or not but they don't give feedback on what's right or wrong so it's hard to know what to correct. 2- Rude users. Maybe it's the nature of the community but the "experts" are largely kids who have no idea how rude they're being. I initially got excited about this but the community turned me off and I deleted my acid and app. **Developer response:** Hello, thanks for your review. We are sorry to hear that you had bad experience, the logic is simple, you can only judge the trick if you have completed it. So the person who is evaluating the tricks has to know it well. Some people leave feedback, some do not. There is chat section, where you can ask in case you do not know what was done wrong and there is always users happy to help and explain. We do not see anything wrong about kids, this app was created to motivate people to improve their offline skills so we are happy to see that kids are using their phones to learn things offline. We have team of admins who moderate the interactions, in case someone was rude to you, you can report the comment and it is taken care of within seconds, or minutes max. -Vashek K. ### 1/5 — Don’t download bad vibes few good people *2024-11-08* Don’t let your kids download this app unless you’re ok with people being rude and disrespectful to them one sided community bad influence try yo tricks app way better **Developer response:** Hello, thank you so much for trying out the app. We are sorry to hear that you had bad experience with the community. Lot of our users have great experience with the community which is really helpful in helping others and giving tips with learning new tricks. Our admins moderate the comments and take care of inappropriate content if there is any. If you ever decide to come back, we will be glad to see you grind new tricks again! All the best -Vasek K. ### 1/5 — APP IS TOXIC *2024-08-05* Do not download this app because the people on it are toxic and it is not good for unresponsive yo-yos if you are advanced at yoyoing download something like YoTricks? **Developer response:** Hello Truther112, we are sorry to hear that you had bad experience with the app. We check the comments and keep the community friendly. There are report and block features in case user find something inappropriate. The app includes over 1300 trick tutorials, majority of them is for unresponsive yoyoing and advanced tricks. -Vashek ### 1/5 — So bad *2024-03-03, version 1.23.1* I had gone so far but then it logged me out It is the worst ever ### 2/5 — Missing ONE day RESETS all progress *2026-06-18* This is not how life works. Missing ONE day does not put you back to square one! Infuriating. **Developer response:** Hey, I am assuming you lost your streak. The rules for activity streak are exactly like this, you miss one day and you lost the streak, however we sent several notifications and you can also get bandaid to protect your streak. The streak is not important for learning tricks and levelling up your skill, it is just fun statistics number. All the best and keep playing - Vashek K. ### 2/5 — Too overwhelming :( *2026-02-02, version 1.65.0* I know this makes me sound like it’s a skill issue for me, they made the tricks look easy and didn’t have extra technology to be accessible for worse yo-yos. ### 2/5 — Need better moderators *2025-07-13* The app is good up until a point then you realize that they don’t regulate what people do or say. It became a pretty toxic environment very quickly. **Developer response:** Hi Feggeth, we have team of admins who observe the app 24/7 and delete innapropriate stuff they see or that gets reported by other users. 99% of the stuff gets deleted within minutes. We always discourage the community within the app to be helpful towards other players and polite of course -Vashek K. ### 2/5 — Toxic environment *2025-06-14* The people you talk to and interact with are not the best. The only reason I was enticed to get this app was the point system, but trust me it’s not worth the headache. Don’t waste your time getting this app. ### 2/5 — Good at first, then you find the rust *2025-01-20* I was super into this when I started off. After a few months though I decided to mostly step back. The developer is awesome, I want to say that first, they are trying really hard to make everything work. The moderators however are a joke. No control, no moderation. Always takes the route that requires the least amount of work. Wrong tutorials, bad calls, bullying, harassment, spam, they let it all slide. Unless you point out something is wrong, then they’re quick to speak up and tell you ‘no you’ 🙄 Countless wrong or poorly done tutorials, that are approved because the mods are afraid to hurt someone’s feelings, but a good one can never take its place, because, again, hurt feelings. The community has a handful of AWESOME people and I hope to run into them on other platforms. Outside of those, it is toxic, childish, and downright bratty. The spirit of this app should be learning skill toys. It is not that, not anymore. Moderators, step up. **Developer response:** Hey, thank you very much for the review. We really wanted to create an online app that motivates you and guides you to learn real skills and therefore spend more time offline, in real world. It seems like its working! Have fun learning with Skill Addicts! -Vashek K. ### 3/5 — Good App but sometimes not good users… *2025-11-23* First of all, I wanna say that the team that develops this app are phenomenal. The videos are all high-quality that are done by them and I couldn’t give the developers more respect. However, the community at times can be a little hypocritical and what I mean is that sometimes you will land a trick and every single fundamental element of that trick will be correct but just because you dismounted a different way than the tutorial video the community will be quick to market as incorrect… So the app itself is pretty good and you can learn a lot of great tricks from the videos, but sometimes the community can be a little discouraging for beginners. **Developer response:** Hi Destroyer, thank you for your nice feedback about, we are glad that you are happy with the team and features of the app. I am sorry you met some strict judges, we observe that some users are more strict and some are more easy. However, in majority of the cases they mean it in a good way and are just trying to avoid others learning basics incorrectly which leads to much slower progress in the future. If run into the similar problem in the future report the video or contact us at info@skilladdicts.com, we will fix it for you. Also we are adding more tips/mistakes/requirements to the tricks so the judging will be more clear for everyone. All the best - Vashek ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So worth it! *2025-07-04* The app has a skill tree that developes ones progress throughout the journey, I started from scratch w this app and I feel I’ve learned and continue to improve. One trick will be a foundation for the next one..so take your time and have fun w it..expert yoers might find the skill tree useless,.but there’s also a custom trick options that complement your YoYo journey where the og tree may leave you hanging…I didn’t mind all the approvals needed to advance here,.. literally only knew about responsive yo and now I have some skills in 1A! Who’d a thought that! I’m in my 50s and feel old but love to yo and lace kendama, great app! Learn and gain what you can, the resources are out there from yye, yo tricks and YouTube..Skilladdicts can make your dreams of yo come true,.. finally went to US Nationals never would have done that otherwise if not for this app and the people there..thx and good luck on your journey..! God Bless and take care! **Developer response:** Hey Fukuro, thanks for your beautiful words, we are sincerely happy you are having such a great time with our app. Keep playing and practising! -Vashek K. ### 5/5 — Super helpful! Highly recommend *2024-11-21* Super great app! All of the tutorials are super clear and to the point. Everyone on the app is super kind and helpful. 5 stars! **Developer response:** Hi Adwerido, thank you so much, we are glad that you are enjoying Skill Addicts app. Good luck with learning new tricks and progressing your skills! -Vasek K. ### 5/5 — Incredible for learning tricks *2024-11-02* Community based approval and feedback on truck submissions is such a powerful tool to make sure I am doing the tricks right. The pills earning physical rewards is also just awesome, I hope to make it to the black plastic yoyo soon, or perhaps the spin top since I don’t have one. Great community as well, once you get used to constant constructive criticism 😅 also nice that it’s gotten me core comfortable in front of the camera! Definitely room for improvement, having some ad issues, comment editing would be nice, the chat rooms are a little basic, but overall, the skill toy community is blessed to have such an app. **Developer response:** Hello Mewgician, thanks a lot for this beautiful feedback. We will work on the comment edit. Keep up practising and learning new tricks! -Vashek K. ### 5/5 — Great Yo-yo App to Learn and Grow *2024-11-01* Great community and good people on Skill Addicts to help with anything yo-yo related, such as yo-yo issues, response pad trouble, responsive and unresponsive tips, questions with tricks or string configuration, and recommendations for yo-yos they may have, thrown, and what they like, different styles, etc. Over 1,000 tutorials for yoyo tricks for all styles, 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, and 5A. And, you can complete tricks to earn app currency (pills) to be able to earn/“buy” pretty cool stuff, even a Bimetal Yoyo!!! This app and the people have motivated me to complete and work on so many tricks and styles I never thought I would be throwing!!! Super fun!! **Developer response:** Hi Yehhe, we really appreciate your review, thanks a lot! We are putting lot of effort into developing and running this app everyday so it is really big motivation for us hearing your words. Keep having fun with Skill Addicts! -Vashek K. ### 5/5 — Great app with an honest learning experience *2024-10-31* I have been using this app for a couple weeks now and I have nothing but love for it. The tutorials are great, the community is awesome. The best part is the judging method. In order to complete a trick, you upload a video of it (awkward at first, but you get used to it) If there is anything wrong with the trick, you don’t pass, and the judges tell you why so you can improve, practice, and try again! There is plenty of hand holding, but absolutely no participation awards. I love it! PS you slowly gain “pills” as credits to use as you progress (FOR FREE) these credits can be used for real world items, just pay shipping. Strings, yoyos (including a beautiful Bi-Metal) and clothes PPS more skill toys are coming with juggling coming VERY soon, I am excited to see this app get even better **Developer response:** Hey, thank you very much for the review. We really wanted to create an online app that motivates you and guides you to learn real skills and therefore spend more time offline, in real world. It seems like its working! Have fun learning with Skill Addicts! -Vashek K. ### 5/5 — Love this app!!! *2024-10-21* This app is how I started learning tricks and now after about a year I’m like ten times better maybe even a hundred and doing mir Kim and mark zuno and a bunch of players tricks I can make amazing tricks and I am a national sport 1A champ after like 8 months and now I am no longer competing in sport I’m competing in pro and I’m getting better that I’ve kind of outgrown skill addicts I’m not going to delete it I will stay on because I enjoy helping others learn and I will post tuts from time to time but skill addicts is the best beginner yo-yo app out there all of the people in the yo-yo club me and my friend made learned from it if you want to join the club the info is on facebook @yoyorays and if u wanna follow me you can @arikimramirez on instagram and YouTube I love skill addicts and I think you should download it Best regards 2024 sport 1A nats champ Co founder of yo rays Ari Kim-Ramírez ### 5/5 — Best app for yoyoing around *2024-08-27, version 1.37.0* Keeps you motivated, huge community with a ever expanding set of custom tricks, get free stuff and the devs are constantly updating and fixing things. Whats not to like ### 5/5 — Skill addiction *2024-06-24* Must be to most used app I’ve ever had. Well because it’s something way different than everything else and it’s incredibly addictive! You will learn more than you could imagine! **Developer response:** Hello Cameronlian, we really glad for your feedback! Thank you so much for playing SkillAddicts app. Our goal is to make learning easier so we love that you enjoy learning with the app! -Vashek K. ### 5/5 — Such FUN!!!! *2024-04-05* I’ve played with a yoyo off and a for most of my life. I have learned more tricks and had more fun with a yoyo in the last seven months than I ever have before. Tricks start easy and move to very, very complex ones. New tricks are voted up or down as they are posted. This helps in learning. If you have a trick down voted, you can ask your peers how to improve. There are various chat categories. I have found these to be fun to join in on and I’ve seen yoyo recommendation that will guide the purchase of future yo-yos. I like this app a lot. I’m on it almost every day and I’m Yo-yoing almost every day, too. **Developer response:** Wow, we really do appreciate your review, thank you so much. We are glad you are enjoying the app, keep up learning new skills everyday! Well done! -Vashek K. ### 5/5 — Yoyo *2024-02-08* Really good really helped me learn yo-yo an I’m a pro now --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
