Skool Communities

App is nice, but the video upload is frustratingly poor. It basically never works from mobile.

Sam is da goat

I recently started using skool and I’ve absolutely loved it so far. One feature I would suggest adding in a future update would be the ability to save posts. Sometimes people in my community create posts that I would love to easily refer back to but it’s a little clunky to get back to the post. A save feature would easily fix this. Cheers!

Did the Free trial for a week and thought I cancelled it I’ve been charged $100 twice now and can’t get my money back absolutely terrible.

I've tried everything, and the notifications never make any sound.

It won’t let me make an account. It takes me to the login screen but doesn’t let me make an account? I saw another review with this problem but I’m still confused about why you wouldn’t have that option for new users like me.

Why can’t I watch videos in full screen anymore all of of a sudden?? I can’t even read what’s playing on video…

This app is poorly designed and lacks basic features, like the ability to save posts, and the search function is terrible. And who uses Facebook style feeds anymore for chats? There’s a reason slack is so popular. Even after the latest update, watching videos on the app is incredibly frustrating. If you try to watch a video in full screen, the screen turns black. When you pause and try to resume, you lose your place in the video. If you try again, the audio plays, but the video remains paused. If you need to leave the app quickly to take a call, when you return, all you get is a blank white screen.

I’ve been using this for sometime now and most of my experiences on iOS have been met with several issues and it’s very frustrating. Recently the app stopped playing videos back in FS (fullscreen) which if you’re watching on an iPhone makes it near impossible to watch or enjoy any videos. If I had a list of priorities this would make it to the top - (7/31/24) When loading videos I often find either videos won’t load. They start playing in black (can hear the audio) or sometimes you have to refresh the page the video is on several times before it plays back correctly. One thing I don’t like is how if you touch the video it automatically pauses. I know several players do this especially on iOS devices however I prefer ones that show the play / pause icon so that you have to hit it again before it pauses and doesn’t immediately stop the video. That’s super annoying when you just want to see how much longer a video is or you want access to other features on the video player. Another issue is that every video starts at 1.2x speed. Why it’s defaulting to that IDK, but just another issue that should be addressed because it’s distracting seeing someone talk out of sync. There also doesn’t seem to be a way to reach out to the developers of the app unless you’re one of their creators using the app. I get the reasoning behind this but when there’s an actual issue that means you have one of two choices and what I’m doing here is the other choice. With all that said, if you’re not playing back any videos then I’d say the app works great, but being that this app is being pushed as a teaching/classroom app that’s not going to work in this day and age.

Hi Love this app just thought I’d give constructive feedback . Please ad voicnoting and make app load faster I find it very slow… additionally please put a way to leave feedback so you can get feedback from people who don’t think of doing this lol …. Will take down this review and change to 5 star in a few days!
