Review summary

Users praise Skillshare for quality, diverse classes, an easy-to-use interface, and its effectiveness for learning new skills. Major recurring complaints concern billing (unexpected renewals and poor refund handling), account access locks (including free-trial cancellations and VPN-related blocks), and occasional login or app-launch failures.

Pros

High-quality, varied classes and lessons for learning new skills
Easy to use with a clean UI (good tablet experience reported)
Helps replace mindless browsing — motivating and effective for learning, including language study

Cons

Billing and subscription problems: unexpected renewals, no reminder, and strict/no-refund policy
Account access issues: accounts being locked (including during free trials) and problems when using VPN or suspected account sharing
Login and app stability problems: users unable to sign in or the app not opening after download

2026-07-28	. *****	Disappointing I feel like I paid for youtube videos. The down side is there's more videos on youtube with better clarity. So I guess this isn't for everyone. Expensive lesson learned.

2026-07-07	J *****	I forgot to unsibscribe from the free trial, which was my bad, I admit. I planned to just cancel the next month but forgot to do so until the day before google said it would renew: July 4th. I canceled July 3rd, but i was still charged anyway. I never even used the app, and got no use from it. it's a great app im sure, I just wish the refund rules weren't so strict. I should've been more attentive, but it still bites losing $50 for nothing.
