Skillsta for Android

I just started using the app today but so far I like it. If it helps me communicate more effectively, it will be worth the price.

This app screams scam! Saw a bunch of ads on social media and signed up for it. Paid $9.99 for a month, downloaded the app and the only way I can even see any of the lessons was if more subscriptions were bought. Every two seconds a new “ we have a gift for you “ ad pops up! Sheesh.. it’s not user friendly! And i’d definitely like my money back.

App claims they will send you a reminder email before the free trial is up...that email never came, resulting in being charged for a subscription I didn't want. Now I get to wait on a refund request. And yes, I checked my spam folder, no email was found. As for the content itself, it's extremely basic, and maybe I was just in the wrong module, but all the examples were focused on work communication, and no personal communication examples were presented. Lastly, the conversational "practice" exercises drop you into a text message interface, but it's still multiple choice...you don't get to type out anything. Despite your answers being ready in advance, the "responses" from the system play a little loading animation, as if the person was typing out a reply, resulting in a wait time of 1-2 seconds. I bet the that decision was made to "simulate" that you were actually texting someone, but, to me, it makes the app feel slow and clunky as all those seconds add up.

Too many pip up’s to get a “free gift” AKA discounted subscription. Sounds like EVERY OTHER APP in this category.

Overall pretty good! The apps keeps freezing though! Slightly frustrating.
