Helpful but need improvements! **Rating:** 2.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Rishav R. | Graphic Designer, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** February 20, 2022 **What do you like best about Skillshare?** For years we needed a proper platform for the beginners and new creators to learn skills useful for their career and profession. I grew up in a country where education system don't let you explore your true intrests and talents, and focus majorly on learning old methods which could get you in a job to secure life. but many people today including me want to learn what they truly want and enjoy their life while earning good. And thats why someothing like skill share is doing great job in helping people find their true talents and push their limit by educating them what truly matters. **What do you dislike about Skillshare?** If there was only skillshare doing the job it does, there wouldn't have been a dislike, but there are many similar applications and there is Youtube, the biggest and most challenging competition of skillshare and likewise applications, which teaches everything for free, is in way better quality, have a community of millions and is up to date in every tutorial you need. Taking about cons of skills share here are few: 1. Lack of certification to prove the complete learning. (Not necessary but can be provided) 2. Annoying ads popping up now and then. 3. Tutorials of many software are not up to date. 4. Poor video quality **Recommendations to others considering Skillshare:** Okay, so what I'm going to say next will be from a designer's point of view. I don't know what skill you are going to learn at skillshare, but this is from my experience, which was neutral. I didn't find anyhting which I was missing from the largest video platform in the world - Youtube! and I will stick to it for now! But maybe you want to learn something different, which people on youtube are not teaching efficiently, and for that you can give skillshare a try. Happy Learning! Best Of Luck! **What problems is Skillshare solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am a self-learned graphic designer and use over 10+ apps for my professional projects and artworks. , Most of them I learned from youtube, which never disappointed me. Everything I needed was right there at one click of a button, though the problem was everything seemed scattered. All bits and pieces of information were here and there. I heard the name of skillshare in early 2020 by their youtube ads focusing on artists and designers, and I thought, let's give it a try! why not? Maybe i will find something helpful, and I was right. Everything was great, brilliant teachers, great set of courses, affordable prices, and even free trials. But nothing was amazing, it was good but not mind-blowing. I was solving all these problems already with Youtube. The only benefit was that it was organized and separate. ### 2.
