Skill shareReviews 565

I had signed up for skillshare for the free 2 month trial. I have enjoyed my time there but however, I was charged 99 dollars that I don't have immediately after the trial ended. I know this happens but why isn't there a reminder like netflix? I had cancelled my premium membership but it seems that I am still being charged a full year. I am just a teen from Malaysia only signing up for the trial to try skillshare but now, I am 99 dollars short which is equivalent to 400+ in my country. Needless to say I don't have that much money. I have contacted skillshare's email before. 4 times. And was replied with the "our team will get back to you as soon as possible" it could be true but I have checked, I waited for a full 12 hours (from 9 am in New York) till 9 pm but I have received no reply from anyone from their team. I have never felt so cheated and I asked for a refund in all the emails.

Everything you read about Skillshare and how it has deceived a lot of people are true. Experienced it first hand and boy, i am now full of regrets I continued signing up on this site. The mere fact that I already cancelled my free trial before it ended, Skillshare still charged me for a full annual membership fee! I sent tons of email and tried to contact them to whatever platform I could find my I got no response at all. I recommend you try udemy, its cheaper, better customer service or just go to youtube, its free.

I received an unexpected charge of $99 DESPITE cancelling my account before the trial period was up. I haven't even used skillshare in months. I have emailed their support team, but after reading these reviews i'm getting more and more disheartened. I cannot afford an unexpected and unauthorized payment of $99. Why is this happening to SO many people? Skillshare can you get on top of this please? Your platform is great, but this billing situation is horrifiic.

Hi. I have been reading all these reviews and it is sad how people do things. Now they tell you that once your trail is up your will be charge. How simple is that. I did a free special on something and I called the people and cancel to and did not get charge. Skill Share is a very nice place to learn. I bet that the ones that are given bad reviews they are with another company. I had that done one time with a company I was with. Do not lie just to get someone to come over to your site that is bad business

I watch quite a bit of YouTube, and lately many of my favorite YouTubers have been sponsored by the company. I was hoping to try SkillShare, as I thought it might be like an extension of the content I get for free online. I'm always suspicious when a "free trial" asks for card info upfront. I know how it goes, they're hoping I forget that I signed up, then they can take my money and it's technically my fault. So, I decided to search around. The second red flag I found was that all creators talking about the product had oddly similarly-worded videos or articles. Even content claiming to be a "fair, non-sponsored review" fell into this similar format, and any "negatives" seemed to blame the customer for "not being enough of a hard worker to be successful". I couldn't find one review from journalists or video creators that seemed genuine, and that scares me. The sign-up process seems sketchy and dishonest. In my opinion, this site doesn't seem to have faith that people will like their product, so they resort to stealing money while keeping themselves safe at the same time. I would take my business somewhere else..

I, like many who have also reviewed, signed up with a free-trial. This morning I was charged $99.00 USD without any warning. I never used any classes on this site during my trial and after signing up I don't even think I logged in until today after I checked my bank account. I sent an email immediately after I saw the transaction (because there is no phone number to call...) and still almost 12 hours later, have not heard anything. I am completely disgusted with this so-called "business". I am still in school and trying to save for a trip to Italy and $100 that could go into my savings, are now in the pockets of thieves. From what I've read, I'm not getting that money back... When you see multiple people have complained about this, wouldn't you look into changing your policy? I cannot believe someone would run a company this terribly. I hope you can look into this and make sure it doesn't happen again. I am sick over this.

I signed up for a 2-month free trial and probably used it for 2 days before I realized I could find the same kind of content on YouTube. I was charged $100 2 days ago. I read through multiple websites and it seems they do not give out refunds. With my $100 I don't even get the pro features. Bs. I'm a full time student with no time for a job, so this was a HUGE hit for me. My money was wasted on this stupid website- enjoy my food money skillshare!

I, as well as many others, have the same problem, after two months of free trial I was billed 99$ without notice. Funny thing is to be a Pro you pay only 15 a month. Now I am a proud member as they took 100$ from me which is a lot and I am not even Pro. Not sure why they taxed me that much, to just surf the basic tutorials alike a free trial member? Cancel your account now! It will save you serious headaches as their customer services is pure bs. They don't even have a phone number. Just a bs form to complain and request "help" for your issues. Never again am I gonna start a free trial with my "money card" nowhere because of this awful experience. SKILLSHARE ENJOY YOUR 100$. I am better of with youtube and I am dead serious!

Don't try to become an instructor there. They remove your courses without any notification. After 3 days they send you an automated message saying stuff like this:

" At Skillshare, classes are first and foremost, educational. While reviewing your classes, we found that they did not meet our standards for minimum educational value. "

I uploaded 5 classes, and 4 were removed. That's how stupid they are. Stay away from this website.

I took multiple courses in photography, videography, drawing, Adobe Lightroom, Adobe Premier, branding, logo designing, sales, marketing. The trainers were all very good, training materials were all useful, comprehensive and deep enough to bring me to a higher level of understanding. I could learn even from such topics which I practice on a regular or even daily basis. So I can highly recommend this to everyone.

Regarding the app, it is well thought out. It is intuitive, straightforward and works great even offline. I use it every week, mostly while traveling and flying. I had no issues ever.

PS: About negative tones: As a user, I do not understand the negative ratings. I used it free for 2 months and continued to use it, because the lectures were so great. Comparing what you can learn, from whom, and in what an easy and brilliant way makes 100 USD for a year my best educational investment.

I didn't even know i had an account till i got a message on my phone saying i got charged 96USD by Skillshare. I send mails saying that i didn't know about this and asked for a refund but none is replying to me. I'm a broke university student and this amount of dollars in my Turkish currency is higher than my monthly rent. I regret it so much but i had no idea. I always saw the company on youtube and stuff and thought it was a decent company. I hope they respond to me give me a refund.
