Think Duolingo, but for skill toys.
Except your hands are on tricks, not on the phone.

What you can learn
Learn faster
Trick ladder
Stop guessing what to learn next. Stop losing weeks on a trick you are not ready for yet.
Every skill has its own trick ladder, built by a pro player. They chose the order that gets you up fastest - each trick sets up the next.
The app also tells you what gear suits each level.
Get unstuck
Chat and feedback
The hardest part of learning a trick is wondering why it is not working.
There are players on the same trick as you right now, and players who already landed it. Both can tell you what to fix - in the chat, or in the comments on your video.
You can do the same for other players.
Solo or together
Mark it or film it
Play solo and use the app as your guide. Or film your tricks and learn with other players.
Mark it learned
Use the app as your trick book. Tick tricks off, no camera, no waiting. You are in the community, but nobody is checking your tricks. Collect XP and level up.
Marked tricks put you in the Trainee league.
Complete it
Film the trick and upload it. Players vote, and either approve it or tell you what to fix. Collect XP, Skill Coins, get individual feedback and level up.
Completed tricks put you in the Prime league.
Mix the two
Keep some tricks marked and some completed. Or mark a trick now, film it later, when you feel like it.
Mix of both puts you in the Challenger league.
Each league has its own leaderboard.
Nobody has to film anything
Some players never upload at all. Most do it eventually, once they find the community is friendly, the feedback is helpful, and the coins turn into real-life rewards.
Why filming works
Learning alone, you can be doing a trick wrong and not know - it works, so you move on. Then the trick built on top of it will not come, and nothing tells you why.
Basic kicks without proper technique will still keep the ball up. They will not get you through Around the World.
Filming it lets players who have been through the same thing help you.
Earn rewards
Skill Coins
Earn them for your activity in the app. Spend them on real-life gear, things inside the app or discount codes.
Where they come from
For learning tricks and other activity in the app. Voting on tricks pays most, and you can only vote on tricks you have completed - filmed and approved. So the more tricks you land, the more you can vote. With around a thousand players in the app every day, there is always something waiting.
What they buy
- Real-life gearYou only cover the shipping. From a keychain to premium products.
- Things inside the appBadges, extras, and a BandAid that saves your daily streak.
- Discount codesFor our store, KROM, YoyoFactory, SLUSNY or Jugglequip.
Double the Coins with SkillAddicts PLUSSee PLUSHow judging works
Approved or rejected
A trick is approved at five more upvotes than downvotes, and rejected at five more downvotes.
A rejected trick can be filmed again.
Correct votes pay
Up on a trick that gets approved, down on one that gets rejected - and you earn a Skill Coin.
Get it wrong and you neither gain nor lose.
Who can vote
Only players who have completed a trick can vote on it, and the same applies to you.

I have learned more tricks and had more fun with a yoyo in the last seven months than I ever have before.
bmwbikerider, App StoreNice app, great community and admins. Learned how to juggle 5 Ball within 6 months and also other cool Skill Toys
Niclas, Austria, TrustpilotThis app has helped me improve in my skill toy journey and now I'm on the top ten leaderboard!
K1N6JR0WN, App StoreI love this app! I've been here for 1 and a half year now and I've learned so much across all different skilltoys. The community is also really nice.
Edward Q, Sweden, Trustpilotit's a good app and helped me learn a lot about how to hacky sack but I didn't realize if you clicked "mark as completed" it would drop your rank. I think it would be nice to have a warning so others don't make the same mistake.

Free, and what PLUS adds
The app is free to use. PLUS has extras and removes ads.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Every skill, every trick, the community and the rewards. The free version has ads. PLUS removes them.
Do I have to film myself?
No. You can mark tricks as learned - it earns XP and levels you up without uploading any videos. Filming earns Skill Coins, gets you feedback, and puts you in the Prime league. Most people end up doing both.
Who can see my video?
Anyone. Trick videos are public - that is how other players can vote on them and leave you feedback.
How long until my trick is approved?
Usually minutes. Beginner tricks have the most players able to vote on them, so they clear fastest; the hardest tricks have fewer judges and can take up to a day. If one stalls, an admin can decide it - report it in the app or email us.
Do I need to buy gear first?
No, and it does not have to be ours. The app recommends what suits each level. A classic yoyo from a toy shop will not sleep, so most tricks are out of reach with one - but anything made for tricks will do.
What age is it for?
Apple rates the app 13+. There is chat and there are video uploads, both moderated by our admins.
Can I try it without installing?
Yes. There is a browser version at app.skilladdicts.com. The app is smoother and it is one tap from your home screen.
