Невостребованные: работают над Skillshare ?
There's a good selection of learning resources. It's a simple and easy learning experience.
Don't forget to cancel. Most people don't plan on using this forever. If you're in this group, remember to cancel your membership. It's easy to forget and of course ... There's a zero refund policy on renewals.
I'm learning how to write better cover letters, at the moment.
I haven't used SkillShare's service and don't have an interest in it.
Predatory subscription model. I created an account when a colleague mentioned it, which requires a credit card. SkillShare is using the popular tech money grab strategy of a subscription model nobody wants. In large font - the monthly price; in tiny font - the fact that it would be billed annually. I will risk forgetting to cancel a trial in exchange for a one-month charge to my card, but annual by default is business in bad faith. I tried rejecting the charge via my bank, but apparently, that didn't process successfully. Unfortunately, with bank delays, I wasn't sure that it hadn't successfully rejected the charge until it was too late. Their explicit policy is "We don't offer refunds for annual memberships after 7 days of the charge."
I haven't even used the service.
Many of the classes were of a good quality and I used it for years, learning many new skills.
After using Skillshare for several years under a monthly plan, they booted me out of the plan without any notice. Then, every time I logged in, I was pointed to a screen where I had no choice but to subscribe to a costly annual plan. When I contacted customer service they were incredibly unhelpful and pretended like I just suddenly wasn't a subscriber anymore and that there was no wrong on their end. I imagine that Skillshare must suddenly want to convert their earlier monthly members who were paying $9.99 a month to yearly members and this was a sneaky, incredibly unprofessional way to go about it. I can't imagine how many members they have upset with this bizarre move.
They aren't solving any problems at this time.
I was initially attracted to the variety of creators.
The quality of the creators I viewed wasn't great. The customer service seemed helpful at the beginning, but they turned out not to be as Skillshare has some unusual policies.
I was trying to get better at video shooting and editing. I didn't really get a ton of benefit. I learned some things no doubt, but the quality wasn't what I expected.
There were some unique courses that I'm not sure I would be able to find in other services
Expensive subscription. I was charged monthly following a free trial and was not notified that my card was being charged. I ended up paying a lot of money for a service I wasn't even using. It was also painfully difficult to cancel it. When I reached out to customer service about it, they were largely unhelpful. I think that instead of tricking customers into accidentally paying for their service, they should focus on motivating customers to want to actively purchase their content.
I'm not sure I received many benefits from Skillshare. Some of the content was interesting, but not worth the price in my opinion
I don't really have anything positive to say. I had very negative experiences with the customer service of this company and I cannot recommend using their service.
The content is shallow, often worse than what you can find on youtube for free. Not only that, they give a free trial then charge you credit card for a year ($99) without warning, and refuse to refund when complaints are made.
I haven't really had any benefits, other than being more careful not to sign up with sketchy services in the future. I would definitely not recommend using the service to others.
I wish I could tell you what I love best about their website, too bad they canceled my account after charging me for a one-year Premium Subscription and I didn't get to use their shitty platform too much.
Their customer experience. It seems like only incompetent outsourced indians look after their customers and this hurts their trust a lot. No answer in more than 30 days and I've tried to contact them everywhere - Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, email - and no real human tried to contact me back. If their customer experience had been a ship, it would have been Titanic. Total failure.
I tried using it for personal development, but it's hard to watch tutorials when your account is cancelled for no reason.
At this point nothing They have no proper system in place for billing but they have fun courses
I joined skillshare premium and it has been so useful! However a few days ago I got billed $99 over 4 times in one day essentially cleaning my bank account out and my bank thinking it was fraud(Which essentially it was) closed my account due to suspicious activity. I mailed skillshare explaining my situation and a woman mailed me back and i quote "Thanks for reaching out! As requested, I've gone ahead and made sure your membership " 1 i didnt ask to cancel my account 2 you still owe me my money I messaged them asking them what they would need from me to do a refund on the excess amount and have heard nothing back from them...
they have amazing content on an unstable platform
I love the concept and have found a few classes I like.
The platform seems to have streaming issues. Both the website and the Android app take forever to load and frequently stall. I've tried on several devices, so it's not a device or browser issue, and I can watch Netflix and YouTube with no issues or stall at all, so it isn't my internet.
I am so excited to learn new skills to use at work and in hobbies.
I though I was going to have access to high quality instructional videos, which they offer pretty good teases of but the actual content was below satisfactory.
They have predatory billing practices and have just stolen $100 for a service I did not request. They also are not responsive. At all. It really has left a bad taste in my mouth.
None. I have more problems now that I'm a $100 poorer!
