I saw a weird alert on my bank app mid-trial and nearly freaked out, but it turned out fine. I signed up for the 7-day trial to test the app and four days in there was an attempted charge for the annual plan. Support fixed it quickly and I like how the service feels — smooth, handy to use each morning. Would love a monthly option, though — perfect.

try a few short classes first, you’ll see if it fits.

either cancel the trial manually so I’m not charged, or restore my access so I can cancel myself. I don’t want drama, just a clear confirmation. Ticket ref 2232308 — please respond and resolve it before the trial ends.

mid-class, painting a little leaf, the instructor said 'try this stroke' and I did it — it worked. Not all online art classes do that; a lot of in-person ones I've tried were fancy demos where you watch and feel lost, but here the lessons are practical, step-by-step and leveled so I can start at beginner and not panic. I like that teachers tell you what supplies they're using and offer reasonable alternatives (I never have the exact brush they use, who does?). Joly Poa — yes, I have a favourite — breaks down techniques like brush control and wet-on-wet so you can practise, not just admire. The learning paths that string lessons together sold me; one thing leads to the next, no gaps. It's relaxed, chatty, friendly feedback, and I had a piece I was proud of. Nice.

I first saw this on a friend's Instagram, told my sister. I cancelled my subscription ages ago, but they kept taking money from my card. Support blamed an email that wasn't mine. I asked for a cancellation and full refund, then radio silence — Carol stopped replying and no ticket number given. Oddly, the course access and video delivery worked fine, and after a public nudge I eventually got a small refund. Still, customer service was patchy.
