Very disappointed

Reviewed on 2021-04-06T19:22:27

Very disappointed. Not being listened to and just sent templates. Spoke with Amalou.Doesn't make sense that right after a payment and not using Skillshare for months they are not able to help.

Looks like they don't need customers

Reviewed on 2021-04-01T22:47:45

Unlike many other I've really purchased a year subscription with them. The only thing I've asked is to provide me an invoice.They sent me to PayPal. I don't know who told them that PayPal is issuing invoices, but I can tell them - it is a lie. So I asked for the invoice again and again was sent to PayPal, although I've explained them already that PayPal does not do this. After my request for escalation the person named Catlos D. just cancelled my subscription! The reason - they can't provide me with invoice. Looks like they don't need customers and in the whole company there is no one who is able to open a text editor and create an invoice.

Scam

Reviewed on 2021-03-31T21:47:34

Same story as so many others. Charged for a years subscription when I signed up for a free trial.I had to cancel my card. Very misleading and false advertising. I hope some awareness can be raised about this so they can't continue taking large sums of money off people who sign up for a free trial. I haven't even looked at anything on the site. I will never Sign up for a free trial again

charged my card early

Reviewed on 2021-03-31T16:16:51

Just use Udemy. The content on ss is low quality. I was going through one course but canceled before the trial ended.They charged my account anyway, lied and said they checked their records and I didn't cancel. I even sent them the emails showing I contacted customer service before trial date ended but they replied that no I didn't cancel as if I am a crazy person. pretty baffling tbh. They are just trying to scrounge monthly one times from people who don't actually get much from their "educators"

Does not care about their customers

Reviewed on 2021-03-30T08:04:37

I got a free month subscription and didn’t realise after that month had finished that they were taking out $24 a month after that.I’ve lost $72 on a site I never used once since being charged a paid subscription. I emailed them in hope to get a refund, not the full amount if that wasn’t available but at least the last month, but they denied me a refund as you can only get a refund on an annual subscription. After sending emails back and fourth, the lady “grace bautista” stated that it’s against their policy even though a business needs to keep their customers happy to get positive feedback. I am very disappointed. I’ve had no issues getting refunds back from the App Store after forgetting a paid subscription. I do not recommend Skill Share as they don’t care about their consumers.

Dishonest

Reviewed on 2021-03-29T10:46:18

As many people on this page I've been scammed and ripped off also. Bought a one-year subscription and had it billed for the next without any single warning.Not a single email, not even when the payment occurred. In France, this is illegal. But I still kept receiving notification spams as "Recommended classes". The dishonesty and sneaky way to take money disgusts me. I hate that kind of business. The content is okay, there's many courses but the quality is limited, kind of superficial. I send an email for a refund but just had a hypocritical reply about their rules. Take a look on Domestika, at least it's better quality and you pay only by the course.
