Auto-generated from all reviews of this business. For reference only.Sería muy útil contar con una opción de “Continuar viendo”, para retomar fácilmente los cursos que ya he empezado sin tener que buscarlos nuevamente cada vez que ingreso. It would be very useful to have a “Continue Watching” option, so I can easily resume the courses I’ve already started without having to search for them every time I log in.
Well in the past I was a happy customer. Recently I chose 3 new courses to purchase but got no bundle offer except for if I join the full subscription-I am not interested in this! So either join or pay the full price for each if the courses. This is frustrating

I’ve already written a review and received a reply about the terms and conditions of signing up to Domestika Plus subscription. The thing is I NEVER bought a subscription- I bought one course for $30.99 and was automatically subscribed to a NZ$595 subscription that has severely financially impacted me. I have contacted Domestika via multiple routes multiple times and received automated replies that do not address the horrendously unethical billing issue. A simple internet search shows hundreds of other people with the same issue who have never received refunds, including vulnerable and elderly people. All I can say is I hope the discussions about class action comes to fruition and Domestika is forced to cease their underhanded billing tactics.
Hi! Our goal is to make every step of the Domestika Plus free-trial clear and easy to manage. How the purchase works: - You can choose between the reduced price or the regular price. With the reduced price, the banner itself explains that a 30-day free trial will start, showing the exact price that will be charged if the trial isn’t cancelled. - Once you move to the checkout page, the subscription details appear again, clearly visible above the course being purchased, to ensure transparency. If you choose not to have the subscription, which is possible at that moment, you can remove it, and the course price will be updated to the regular rate. - Notifications are sent to the email associated with your Domestika account during your trial period and you can cancel before the trial period ends from Profile › Subscriptions. About the charge you received, it seems like the trial wasn’t cancelled before the estimated period, so the annual membership was billed automatically. Please note that you can find more information in our Help Center: https://domestika.co/CS-PlusRefund Regards, Domestika Team.
Great course i like this teacher and i like how slow and clear he speak for me this is important i don't speak and hear english well but with my lvl a2 im too satisfied
Domestika is very consistent in their presentations therefor the courses feel very welcoming as you allready understand the structure and built up proces. I don't practise all courses but like to watch other creatives telling and showing their process. Sometimes I pick out a good exercise. I have a year account wich is top. You can see a lot of courses.
So far I think it's great. I'm not even a month in right now. And I am currently only interested in watercolor tutorials. So my scope of experience is limited. What I like: I very much appreciate the studio quality video production. The video production and obvious intent on studio design is great. It seems like you are able to pull in a great number so of artists considering the number of tutorials I see just on watercolor is very impressive. I also like the yearly subscription plan so I can browse a little more through videos without feeling the need to commit money to a specific lesson. point of improvement: I would really like to see more "tags" or "categories" within the search function. Currently it seems it's basically a word search for titles outside the main subject. As in, there is a tag for "watercolor" but outside of that, there are no sub categories. I'd love to see "beginner" "intermediate" and "advanced" tags on all videos so I'm not just scrolling. Maybe a curator and specific subjects could create subcategory tags to help people find exactly what videos would apply to them.
The Translation of the courses is very bad. The voices are monoton, the emphasis wrong, its sometimes super-fast, then slow, many repetitions an silly fillwords. It's a pain to listen to it! Not only one course. Especially at the course about podcasts, i would have expected much better audio!! It was just crap!! Thats really a pitty, because the content is very good!
I thought when I canceled the purchase of the course that I was sampling it would cancel any charges by Domestika. I was laid off 6 months ago and still don't have a job. Imagine my surprise when I was billed over $300 when I don't have enough money to pay my bills. I messaged Domestika the day after I was charged and didn't receive a response or a credit. When I didn't receive a response I gave up and started watching / saving courses. They aren't exactly the type of courses I would have purchased but it appears that I'm stuck with it.

Be very careful. I did not accept trial or sign any document to du subscribe with domestika. This is to warn you of their missdeed or Roberry. I have been débited on my PayPal account twice thé sum of 297 dollar. I have only bought two courses. I am a retired person with a small pension and i am a handicap person with Health issues. Now i am in a financial problem.
Hi, Our team has reached out to you privately requesting more information about your case. We'd appreciate it if you could reply to us so we can assist you further Domestika Team.
Extremely disappointing experience. I was charged for a full annual subscription after forgetting to cancel a free trial, even though I only used the platform for a few days and found it unsuitable. I reached out immediately on the same day the charge happened, but my refund request was denied despite zero usage after the first day of trial. This situation can easily be verified from my account activity. Strict policies are understandable, but showing no flexibility in cases like this especially for a large annual fee feels very unfair and not customer-oriented. Totally scam

I've bought over 100 Domestika courses and have been a customer for several years. I love the insane number and variety of arts and crafts that you can learn about - so many that I'd never heard of but look really interesting. Quite a lot of the courses are in Spanish, but the dubbing and/or subtitles are usually good (one or two exceptions) and the courses themselves are usually excellent. I don't care for how the pricing goes up and down or how the amount I pay in British pounds never matches what's shown on the checkout page due to currency conversion differences. Lots of people moan about getting "scammed" by the Plus subscription, but I've subscribed more than once in the past and have had no problems changing the setting so it does not auto-renew - just read the information that gets provided to you.
Excellent courses, highly valuable material, the instructors are top notch. One of the latest courses I was impressed with featured Sagi Haviv (designer from the studio that designed the NBC logo and other prominent logos). I love the variety of courses from software to design to crafts and more. I can learn motion graphics and in the evening plop up my tablet and learn to crochet granny squares on the sofa. I've been a member for several years now.
I think the cost of the courses is too high for what they actually offer. The idea is good, but there are barely any actual discounts, just either become subscriptor or courses at almost 40 eur if not more. Some courses are nice ,but a lot offer too much talking and not actual watching of their own work and not really interesting projects

I have purchased 72 courses from Domestika over the years, most of which are good, totalling about $700 in cost. The pricing structure has changed since, so that a full price course without the Pro membership is now 2-3 times what I used to pay. There are very few new courses I'm interested in at this point, they're hard to find due to the clumsy website, and the pricing structure is confusing. I gave them extensive feedback in the past and it's only changed for the worse.

I like some of the instructors and courses. I didn't appreciate having to pay for the subscription because I didn't notice it was included with a sale priced course. Not a lot of value in the subscription for me and it was quite expensive for one year. Some of the translated courses are a bit difficult to understand in translation.
