### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-07-06, version 6.27.1*

It helped me find the right coach for my game

### 5/5 — My go to for golf instruction

*2026-06-29*

Skillest makes remote coaching genuinely work. Uploading swings is quick, the video tools let my coach mark up exactly what he’s talking about, and having everything in one place lessons, feedback, drills, means I’m not digging through texts or emails to find what I’m supposed to work on. The async format actually fits my schedule better than in-person lessons ever did, and the feedback turnaround has been fast.

### 5/5 — The best platform on the market.

*2026-06-10*

Skillest is the ultimate coaching solution for coaches, and game improvement option for golfers! Love it.

### 5/5 — Best place to get better

*2026-06-01*

Some are hesitant at first.  None regret it.   Skillest is a fantastic place to get better at your sport.   Love it.

### 5/5 — Luke Gerard brilliant coach

*2026-05-28*

Luke Gerard brilliant coach and love the sports coaching app to review my lessons

### 5/5 — Great for golf

*2026-05-28*

A great platform to connect with instructors around the globe. You normally wouldn't have access to these instructors. My only criticism of the app., is that it does not allow you to import videos from other golf swing recording apps

### 5/5 — Fantastic platform

*2026-05-28*

Easy to use, very helpful, incredible reasonable price.

### 5/5 — No notes

*2026-04-26*

Ingenious app idea. Love the opportunity for unlimited feedback by skilled professionals, on demand and often cheaper than in person lessons. What's not to like?

### 5/5 — First lesson

*2026-04-17*

Brilliant coach

### 5/5 — Golf

*2026-02-22*

Very amazing app lets you work through your golf game so well the creator of this platform is a genius😜

### 5/5 — Excellent building blocks

*2026-01-28*

Excellent lesson, simply explained and great use of technology. Second lesson built on first with clear instruction that brought noticeable improvement - need discard years of ingrained bad habits and grind this new ‘feel’ in. Confident that under Bens guidance, on the right path.

### 5/5 — Great Golf Coaching

*2026-01-21*

Skillest app has been awesome. I figured I would need in person lessons as that is how I’ve done it in the past. With all the tech advances you can now practice with the best coach and have 24/7 access to lessons, swing feedback, drills and more! Looking forward to continuing my lessons w/ my awesome coach!

### 5/5 — Amazing AI coaching

*2025-12-19*

The new Shadow AI companion is simply amazing. Based on swing review it create an interactive practice companion

### 5/5 — Great Visual Aid

### 1/5 — Non stop refreshing

*2026-03-13*

App keeps saying it’s refreshing and won’t actually stop

### 1/5 — Stuck on lessons refresh

*2026-03-07, version 6.7.0*

Most recent lessons done on website on Mac don’t show up in iPad app. Lessons tab sits and spins trying to refresh. Do you test this app for iPad?

### 1/5 — Does not work and Dev doesn’t give support

*2026-01-12*

Forget this app. It does not work. It closes as soon as It opens. We’ve tried on 4 different iPhones and has the same. 
Contact with the developers did not bring any improvement.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work?

*2025-07-04, version 5.25.0*

Srixon/arccos free golf lesson, except the app just doesn’t work. It asks me the questions about my game in an infinite loop and never moves forward

### 1/5 — Strict non refund policy

*2024-10-28*

It seemed like a good coaching platform. I discovered in person lessons are a better for me. I canceled after one month. I accidentally canceled my membership the day after it renewed. I asked my coach for a refund since I wouldn’t be using the lesson. He declined to give me a refund but instead lectured me about the importance of keeping track of my bills. Got charged an extra $110 for nothing.

### 1/5 — Can’t delete free lesson

*2024-07-09*

I was randomly assigned a coach from the totally different country that I have no interest in working with but there’s no way to delete it. He sends me unsolicited messages all the time and when opening the app it appears under active lessons. I was looking to pay for a more expensive coach located in the same country as me but instead I’m deleting this app and not even bothering to try now.

### 1/5 — Terrible customer support

*2024-02-14*

Bought a lesson a week ago and haven’t heard a word from the coach. Reached out to Skillest and they took 3 days to get back to me. The app says it usually takes 48 hours for a lesson to get done. I asked for a refund and no one answered me. Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Underhand charges of £21.99 a month!!

*2022-02-17*

Had the app and used its features since 2021. Randomly mid Jan and Feb it has billed me though my mobile contract 21.99 per month. I had to call Apple to find out what it was for as it’s just code on the bill. 

The ‘contact us’ feature on the app and website don’t work to talk to anyone. 

Great product. Underhand charges. I’d stay away!

### 1/5 — Worst App Ever!!!

*2020-05-22, version 1.9.55*

I wait one week and any coach answered my messages. The App developer never gave me a reason why the coaches do not answer me and when I send him a message he ignored me. Do not try this app, is a lost of time.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2026-07-21*

If you’re paying a lot of money for coaching, this app can be incredibly frustrating when it doesn’t work. Very buggy when submitting videos, which recently are not reaching the coach after submitting them (after hitting send to coach, they just disappear from the lesson). After spending the last two weeks trying to send videos before an important match, I’m giving up. It’s a shame, I like my coach and he’s good, but I’m throwing my money away if I can’t get the feedback I need between lessons. I likely wouldn’t consider another coach on Skillest if this is the only platform they use.

### 5/5 — Easy

*2026-08-24*

Easy and clear

### 5/5 — Awesome coaching tool

*2026-08-22*

Having the ability to playback my lessons and also upload my practice videos so my coach can provide analysis has taken my golf game to a whole new level!! 10/10 suggest

### 5/5 — Great lesson.

*2026-08-12*

I had a really great lesson with Kevin. He kept it simple and easy to grasp. He recognized my problem quickly and gave me a drill to make my swing more complete and consistent. I’m very close to single figures and I’m looking forward to working with him and getting it down.

### 5/5 — Great platform for golf lessons

*2026-08-11*

I was getting frustrated with my game and couldn’t get booked in with my local pro. I also wanted some video analysis but couldn’t find anywhere. 

Found Skillest and very quickly got swing analysed from a pro and then realised I could pay for a whole month coaching for the same price as I was about to pay for a few lessons. Made a huge difference so far. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — Putting lesson

*2026-07-30*

The changes Jason made has me excited to get on the course and use what he taught me.

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2026-07-28*

Downloading this app and finding the right coach has been huge. The technology that is provided to my instructor through the app helps me understand my swing better. The newer updates with the AI overview of my lesson helps me better compartmentalize the lesson and focus on the key points! I’ve recommended this app to so many people.

### 5/5 — Really helpful

*2026-07-25*

Excellent lesson, George, thank you very much.

### 5/5 — Year 3 using skillest

*2026-07-24*

Skillest provides me with such a great platform for making change in my golf swing over the past 3 years.  If you want to work at it, Skillest is a great way to pursue improvement.

### 5/5 — Golf lessons

*2026-07-20*

Great lessons from David sorting my chipping and short game problems

### 5/5 — Jon nicholls

*2026-07-09*
