An honest review of Skate AI: Kickflip Ollie Coach
Is Skate AI
worth it?
The short answer
Skate AI: Kickflip Ollie Coach is worth it if you're stuck on a specific trick (anything from an ollie to a tre flip) and you film your tries, and not if you're a total beginner who just needs free tutorials first: from a clip of your own try, it scores your setup, pop, flick, catch and landing out of 10 and gives you the one fix plus a drill, for $7.99 a week or $39.99 a year in the US.
The yearly plan works out to about $0.77 a week. It's rated 4.9 from 37 ratings on the US App Store, it's iPhone only (iOS 18 or later), and analyzing a clip needs a subscription.
Disclosure: we make Skate AI: Kickflip Ollie Coach, so read this with that in mind. Every price and number below is from its US App Store page on November 9, 2026.
What you get
- A score for each part of the trick. Film a try or upload a clip. The app pulls 48 frames from it and scores your setup, pop, flick, catch and landing out of 10, so you know whether it was your pop or your catch, not just that you didn't land it.
- The one fix, with a drill. It names the one fix that matters most and gives you a drill and a target for your next session, like "10 kickflips on grass."
- Your own clip, slowed down. A skeleton overlay on your clip and slow-motion replays of the key moments.
- Every trick in 3D. See where your feet go and step through the trick slowly.
- A coach chat for questions about foot placement, fear of committing or what to learn next.
- 64 tricks, tracked, from your first ollie to a 360 flip, with your best score on each and a trick path with ranks.
- A spot map of skateparks and street spots other skaters add.
What you don't get: a video tutorial library. It checks your tries; it won't teach you a trick you've never seen. It can only judge what's in the frame, so film side-on with your whole body and the board in shot. The original videos stay on your phone.
Price, and what the yearly plan works out to
| Plan | Price (US) | Per week |
|---|---|---|
| Weekly | $7.99 a week | $7.99 |
| Yearly | $39.99 a year | about $0.77 (about $3.33 a month) |
The yearly plan costs about the same as 5 weeks on the weekly plan. The download is free, but you need a subscription to analyze clips.

Who it's for, and who it isn't
It's worth it if:
- You're stuck on a specific trick and keep missing it, whether that's your first ollie or a tre flip.
- You'll film your tries and want to see which part fails, try to try.
- You want one thing to work on next session, not a list.
Skip it if:
- You're a total beginner who hasn't seen how tricks are done yet. Start with a free tutorial app, like Skate Tricks: Learn & Ride or Skate Labs (see best skateboarding apps), and come back when you're stuck on one trick.
- You want tutorials, not feedback on your own skating.
- You're on Android, or on an iPhone that can't run iOS 18.
