Awful, Just Awful

What a terrible app. There is no way to reset playback so if you want to repeat a class the videos keep on starting at the end of the class session. Teacher profiles will only show you recent classes, not the entire list of classes the teacher has uploaded. Searching for the teacher’s name will give you their profile, and maybe one or two of their classes. Therefore, you’re never able to get full visibility into all of the teachers class catalog. Which for how much this thing costs, shouldn’t be happening. Giving feedback is shady: it asks you if you are enjoying the app or if you’re “not sure”, when you click in “not sure” the app claims you are not logged in. Sus. Search history clear functionality has never worked for me either.

This is very good application for learning something new in your creative life

Best learning app

I highly recommend this app. I use it mainly for learning how to draw on procreate and have had such a good experience so far. The teachers are great and the lessons are a good length and easy to follow along. I like to do one to two lessons in the evening and ipI feel much more confident using procreate now. I also use many other lessons like selling digital products, meal prepping and learning to budget, etc.

Perfect for Creative Learners

Skillshare is a great platform for learning new skills and exploring creativity. The classes are easy to follow, practical, and inspiring. I love being able to learn at my own pace and discover new ideas!

Would not recommend

Was unable to cancel free trial despite multiple attempts (error messages), was then charged a yearly rate, offered a refund from Skillshare support and then was told there would be no refund after being guaranteed one. Support does not respond.

Anti consumer

Accidental renewed charge for a whole year and they refuse to refund me on a $200 year service that I now have and don’t need because I forgot to cancel the subscription.

Unbelievable, it costs them nothing but a click to refund, I was not and am not planning to use this service. No account activity at all and no refund.

Well worth the money!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’ve really enjoyed using Skillshare! There’s such a great variety of classes, and I love being able to learn at my own pace and explore new creative skills. It’s easy to use, inspiring, and I always seem to find something new that catches my interest. Definitely worth checking out!

App doesnt work

Imagine spending nearly $200 and the app doesnt work.

Constantly freezes

This app is broken. First it told me I wasn’t connected to the internet, then it froze. I force quit, found the class I was looking for, and it froze again.

Not working In iOS 27

Was working great until I upgraded. Now when I click to view a class the whole app freezes.

Doesn’t work in iOS 27

They need to release an update that makes the app functional again. Cannot access courses or videos.

iPad app needs work

The log out button is either hidden or not on the iPad app at all. Logged into an old acct that is not under a trial but no way to log out afaik

Love it!

This is a fantastic app for anyone interested in just about any type of art. I have been using it for several years now. Give it a try!

Skillshare is Awesome

I love using Skillshare. It has afforded me learning opportunities not just for being creative, but also to explore things like NFTs, ChatGPT, and business strategies. This platform is amazing!

Can’t login??

Made my account on desktop today. Won’t log into the website with the account I just created. Fine. Download the app, try to login. Nothing. Do you want me to use your product or not?

Looks like you’re offline

Literally every single time I open this app it says it looks like I’m offline. I click reconnect over and over again and it doesn’t work. I switch between tabs and it doesn’t work. Only sitting on the app and waiting a few minutes works. This has been the case for multiple generations of this app, which I find to be wild. Like, do you not want to fix whatever this is? I’m clearly online, I haven’t been offline, I have no idea what’s happening. But it’s always doing this.

Not Many Free Classes

Many of the classes are not free. I have to have a subscription in order to take many of the classes. Not worth the money. I’m pretty disappointed. I recommend not using this app if you don’t want to pay for a subscription.

Bad customer service

I tried to contact customer service and just got constant AI responses. They make canceling your membership very difficult. It was impossible for me to get ahold of an actual person. I do not recommend using Skillshare. It is very expensive with terrible customer service.

Great App. Great Courses.

No need to spend thousands of dollars when you can learn from great teachers on Skillshare! I wish I knew about Skillshare before I took an expensive course. I have learned more here. If you want to go deeper in your craft it’s also a great way to see which teachers you like best before you take their more advanced courses.
