Yes. Skool has an iPhone app and an Android app, but no desktop app. On Google Play it holds 4.1 stars across 6,248 ratings with over 1 million installs. The iOS version rates a rougher 3.8 stars from 731 ratings. On a computer, Skool runs in the browser at skool.com; there is no Mac or Windows download.
- What the app covers: the community feed, comments, DMs, classroom courses, and push notifications.
- Live calls: Skool Call runs natively in the app or in the browser, no third-party stream tool needed.
- Both stores: search "Skool communities" (the Android package is com.skool.skoolcommunities).
What the Skool App Covers (and Where the Browser Wins)
The mobile app carries the daily-use surface of Skool and skips none of the member basics. The feed, comments, DMs, Classroom courses, push notifications, and Skool Call all run natively on iPhone and Android. Admin work is where screens matter: group settings and payout setup live more comfortably at skool.com.
What you want to do | App | Browser |
|---|---|---|
Feed, comments, and DMs | Yes | Yes |
Classroom courses and video | Yes | Yes |
Skool Call live sessions | Yes | Yes |
Cancel a group subscription | Yes (Billing tab needs a sideways scroll) | Yes |
Cancel a paid membership | Yes (three-dots menu, Manage Membership) | Yes |
Group settings and payout setup | Workable | Easiest here |
Skool App Ratings: iPhone vs Android
The two stores disagree about the same app. Google Play rates Skool Communities 4.1 stars across 6,248 ratings and over 1 million installs; the App Store sits at 3.8 stars from 731 ratings. The iOS build is version 1.1.21, updated July 21, 2026, and needs iOS 13 or later.
The gap tracks the complaints: iOS reviews cluster around notification reliability and video playback, while the Android build carries the install volume. Both stores list the developer as SKOOL.COM INC, and the app itself is free. The only charges are the memberships you join or the group plan you host.
Is There a Skool Desktop App?
No official Skool desktop app exists for Mac or Windows; the desktop experience is the browser at skool.com. Downloadable "Skool desktop apps" from third-party sites are unofficial wrappers around the same website, not Skool software. If you want a dock icon, install the site as a browser shortcut instead.
Deleting the App Does Not Cancel Skool
Removing the app from your phone changes nothing about billing. A group you host keeps charging $9 or $99 a month, and a paid membership keeps renewing, until you cancel inside Skool. Cancellation works in the app and the browser; wiping the account entirely is a manual support request.
The fee side of that math lives in what each Skool plan bills, and how to delete a Skool account entirely maps the manual path, template email included.
How to Get the Skool App
- Open the App Store on iPhone or Google Play on Android.
- Search for Skool Communities (the Android package is com.skool.skoolcommunities).
- Install and log in with the same account you use at skool.com.
- Allow notifications if you want post replies, DMs, and event reminders on your phone.
If you are sizing up the platform itself, the full Skool review is the deep version, and what Skool actually is is the 5-minute one. The 14-day trial covers the apps too.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Skool app free to download?
Yes, the app is free on both stores. Costs come from what you join or host: paid memberships bill the price the creator set, and hosting a group starts at $9 a month after the 14-day trial.
What is the Skool app called in the app stores?
Skool Communities. On Android the package name is com.skool.skoolcommunities; on iOS the developer is SKOOL.COM INC. Match the name exactly rather than searching plain "skool".
Does Skool have a desktop app for Windows or Mac?
No. There is no official desktop app. Desktop use runs in the browser at skool.com; any downloadable "Skool desktop app" is an unofficial third-party wrapper.
Why is the Skool app rated lower on iPhone?
The App Store rating sits at 3.8 stars versus 4.1 on Google Play. iOS reviews cluster around notification reliability and video playback complaints; the Android build carries 6,248 ratings across more than 1 million installs.
Can I cancel my Skool subscription from the app?
Yes. Group owners scroll the Settings tab row sideways to reach Billing, then Manage subscription, then Cancel. Members use the three-dots menu, Group Settings, then Manage Membership.
Can I watch Skool courses in the app?
Yes, Classroom works in the app. Courses and their videos play on iPhone and Android, and live sessions run through Skool Call in the app or the browser.
