POOR SERVICE
Very poor administrative service. They will not refund you because of automatic payment even if you cancel on the very day they charge you. For me, this is a red flag. They are the only company I know, who will not work with their customers regardless of how unhappy they are with the services they provide. And they are the only company I know who will not do refunds because a customer forgot to cancel the subscription the day before.
All the negative comments below me are true.
- translations, video and audio are of poor quality
- process are not shown in most courses
- more talking than demonstrations
- and yes YOU CANNOT DELETE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION on the billing section like they said on the comment below me, because I tried. So yes, they are keeping your data because if not, you will be able remove your credit card information on the billing section like they claimed.
On the good note:
- they have a stellar cast of chefs
I tried reaching out to them but like I said, they will not work with you regardless of reasons. There goes my $100 down the drain. It sucks, but this is my experience with them. Very shady…

There are way too many mistakes in the english translation. The automatic voice dub is horrible also. The quizes are pointless.

Hola Mónica,
En Scoolinary, contamos con renovación automática de suscripción que puede ser cancelada en cualquier momento. Dicha información la puedes encontrar en nuestras Preguntas Frecuentes (enlace: https://www.scoolinary.com/pages/preguntas-frecuentes). Además, si por algún motivo no se puede procesar el pago, el sistema hace intentos programados para procesar la renovación. Una opción es cambiar los datos de tu tarjeta, para que se pueda realizar el pago. Esto puedes hacerlo desde "Tu nombre < Mi cuenta < Facturación".
Nos pondremos en contacto contigo para entender mas sobre esta situación y ayudarte a resolverla.
Saludos,

We are sorry that your experience at Scoolinary has not been the best.
We believe that having background music gives every lesson joy and it's a good companion while doing the recipes.
We have checked and the explanation of the chef can be understood without problems.

Several questions and need for improvement
The contents, the lessons, are pretty good, I've tried several of them and keep being interested. However my opinion is that you have several things to improve:
- The renewal process is not streamlined. You must query your customer first and if they agree to renew, start the process
- I don't understand how can you not supply a functionality to erase credit card. As per GDPR you must provide a means to change and erase personal data. To this day I haven't figured out how to do it except asking someone by e-mail.
- Related to the above, there seems to be 2 different sites one for Spain and another one for international customers, with different customer information, credit cards, and even courses.
- I started doing some courses in the Spanish site that have gone missing, it seems, and I also can't find them in scoolinary.net
- Do courses expire and are removed from your sites? Why are there different courses in .net and .com? If I want to see a course that only exists in .com why do I have to subscribe (again) to this site? Aren't you the same company?
- The english legends in .net courses are terrible, the translation is poor.

Hi Eduardo,
We are sorry that your experience at Scoolinary has not been the best. We try out best to provide the best content possible to our students. Regarding your comments, we'll go step by step:
- Our renew process is automatic. Before you buy the subscription, the page contains the information about the automatic renewal. Besides, you can check the FAQ even before making the purchase. Here is the link: https://www.scoolinary.net/faq. Once you make the purchase, you can cancel it anytime.
- You can erase your credit card through "Your name < My account < Billing".
- We do have two platforms. One in Spanish and the other one in English. They are not the same. The Spanish one has it's page domain ending in ".com" and the English one, it's ".net". This is because the content is not the same. However, by June 2023, we will merge both platforms.
- If you get a subscription, you will have access to the courses until the end of the billing period.
- Regarding the translation of the courses, we are constantly reviewing our translation and audio so the experience is the best possible.
We'll reach out to you via mail so we can have a conversation regarding this points.
Best regards,
Franco
Skills and details are lacking
The course shows mainly process but details and skills are lacking. Also the video cut into small pieces which is not convenient to watch. If that is one video with break point titles would be much better, i don't have to keep pressing the button for continuing watching
I like the courses with creative title

There's a reason why videos are short. We use Microlearning as our method. it consists in short lessons adapted to the crazy times of today, where you can watch it in a short journey, during a break at work or whenever you have time.
We'll reach out to you to understand more about your experience. Thank you again :)

The way is presented it seems there will be a lot of content per class but each segment is super short, so when it say a class has 14 lesson, the lessons will range from 1 to 6 minutes max.

Hi! Thanks for sharing your opinion with us, we really appreciate it.
Our courses are designed with a Microlearning strategy, that means breaking topics down into short pieces of content, making them easier to absorb. We adapt the courses to the crazy times of today, where you can watch it in a short journey, during a break at work or whenever you have time.
On average our courses are 2 hours long.

Unusable for me
The photos on the website are extremely visually appealing and it's what made me pay $59.90 subscription fee.
The robotic translation to English, the separation into chapters and the music used was a huge disappointment. It's too annoying to use the platform. There are so many culinary videos made by nice engaging humans available on youtube for free.

Hi Oxana,
We are sorry that your experience with Scoolinary was not the best. We work everyday to give our students the best content possible.
We have a brand new platform for the English version were you'll find every course translated and with subtitles that are reviewed in detail so its understandable for everyone.
Regarding the background music, we have checked and while we understand if you did not enjoy it, the chefs explanation of every lesson can be heard and understandable.
We'll reach out to you to understand more about your comments.

Be careful with the automatic renewal!!!
Some of the content is good, but there are also recipes like the ones you can find for free online. Definitely not worth the annual subscription fee in my opinion.
Also, the renewal charge is being done automatically to your card, without prior notice in my case and with no chance of refund, so be extra careful to cancel your subscription as soon as you pay the first time, otherwise you risk to be billed heavily (around 100 euros) and upfront, for something that you haven't used for months and not going to use in the future…

Content isn’t homogeneous + format of videos has to be bettered
Content isn’t homogeneous: some videos are really properly made, others aren’t.
The format is a bit annoying too. Having three videos for one recipe really breaks the dynamic. Maybe it would be interesting for the schools art team to review what Cheflix or YesChef do with their videos in terms of filming and duration of the videos because honestly the chefs on scoolinary are great and deserve to have their content to be broadcasted in a more professional + agréable way.
