The good and the bad partsMany, many fun movies and new movies every few days, BUT: the bad parts. I found myself somehow subscribed (at higher price than I would pay for a subscription!) when I did not sign up to subscribe! I have not yet figured out how to unsubscribe even after lots of looking around the site so for now I am watching lots of movies while I research it. While subscribed, it has been fun watching. Amidst the many good things in the movies, where the acting is better than in some of the other apps! the worst thing is the horrible prejudice against adopted kids in families. They regularly get thrown out of families, cut off of inheritances as soon as the “real” kid is found, and/or get portrayed as evil. I have many adopted relatives and no one pays any attention to which ones are “real” and which ones are adopted!!!!! Everyone is loved and no one is evil! New plots are needed that show how real families treat adopted kids as loved, how adopted kids love and welcome other siblings- use something else to drive your plot so you do not dishonor all of the families with adopted kids!!!! Drive your plots with fewer evil step-mothers since this plot device is so cliche’. I love it when I come across plots that do not involve an evil stepmother or an evil adopted sibling. Movies without those trite plots are so refreshing!!!! Fortunately there are lots of them, and they are all great fun!.Bryonne42Version: 2.0.81
This app ate and left like 3 crumbs😌😂I didn’t expect to enjoy this app as much as I did. The stories are so intriguing and I was a little shocked to see K-dramas. I do wish that some of the K-dramas weren’t voiced by English actors though. I prefer just reading subtitles. It gets irritating when the mouth and words don’t match. I’m not the biggest fan of the ad situation, but I also don’t mind it either. I wish every episode was 2 minutes long and that there wasn’t a recap at the beginning. I noticed there aren’t many shows but I don’t know how long this app has been a thing so I hope more are to come. Overall I love the app. The acting is cringe at times but not as bad as some reviews make it seem. I can tell there’s a low budget so I wouldn’t expect too much anyway. Plus I feel like bad acting can make shows funnier. Still this app eats every show it puts out. I get so invested off of just a trailer. I feel like the use of adds and coins brings back what it felt like to watch shows on cable TV. Sometimes the anticipation made the show better. I also loved commercial bathroom breaks. At least I’m not waiting for a 1-2 minute clip everyday. I only have to watch an ad..JaeDrizzleVersion: 1.1.02
UpdateUPDATE: The malfunction seems to have been corrected! Thank you so much!
First off- I’ve loved this app. However, a few days ago the app had an update. The “rewards” system appearance has changed, and although I can’t tell if there’s a difference in how many rewards we get, the system isn’t working. Let me explain- some of the ads now have a required interaction- ad for 10s, press next, ad for 10s, press next, ad for 10s, press next, ad for 10s, press done, and then you get the reward coins. The problem with this is that this particular type of ad is causing my phone to overheat and the app closes out (usually as the last ad is playing), causing me to have to start the ad over for my reward coins. Not only is it taking twice as long to obtain reward coins, but the overheating of my phone can’t be a good thing, plus I’ve noticed the battery draining drastically increase. In addition, the app has started to randomly close during a short video. After 4 days of this, I’m almost ready to be done altogether. My phone is brand new, so I know it isn’t the phone, and all of this started on the day that my update for this app was run. Without this issue, or with the correction of this issue, I would gladly raise my stars review to 5-stars..Momma-Lolli-HeatherVersion: 2.1.30
The prices are a bit muchI never leave reviews but I truly think we all can agree on this one. Honestly, this app is entertaining. They have cute, corny stories that are just fun to laugh at (not in a bad way) if anything they keep me pulled into it, sure the storyline is weird but it makes me want to keep going. The actors aren’t bad, I’ve watched worse. Though, their not as good as some other apps, which, is understandable. And since it isn’t as great, it makes must of the stories more entertaining and the characters more fun....However, the app's coin system is notably overpriced. For example, $10 for 1,000 coins honestly doesn’t get you very far in the episodes, and $5 for 500 coins cover much less. The subscription fees, in particular, seem excessive. If the app offered a higher quality version or included top-tier actors, or just actors who are more likely to play the role well. This pricing might be justifiable. But in its current form, the quality doesn’t quite align with the cost. While the app is certainly enjoyable and provides a good amount of entertainment, the premium fees and limitations on content make it hard to justify paying for extended access. For the price, the value doesn’t fully meet expectations, especially considering not even having 2 minutes on any of the episodes..RjhjsjtchsVersion: 2.2.00
Intriguing mini shows with bad acting and adsI am a sucker for short stories like this, so when I saw that they were being made into films, I was so excited! I read a lot of reviews about the ads. To be honest, I didn’t really mind the ads. You will watch about a minute and a half of the movie before you have to watch an ad that is longer than the clip you watched from the movie. Yes it’s annoying, yes it’s an incentive for you to buy coins, yes it’s the same over and over, yes you can only watch 20 of them a day and then you have to wait. But to be honest, I really didn’t mind that. I came to expect it and it was still worth it with the film I was watching.
But then, after I continued on with it, I am almost at the tail end of my movie, and when I pulled it up, it now says I have to login using Facebook? I really don’t understand that, I’ve watched the majority of this movie and continued to watch their continual ads without having to log into my social media account. That’s when I deleted the app. I’m already watching thousands of ads and viewing them more and more then I’m even viewing the movie. You are getting all my viewing time, why do you want my social media?? 3 stars, because this stories are intriguing, but it comes with a very annoying price..Nrsweeps girlVersion: 1.1.07
Really good content!Okay so I would rate it a 5/5, but there are some minor issues that have occurred while I have been on this app. I love the shows they are a little cheesy but they are really funny, and romantic. The thing is, when I get to a certain point in one of the shows where I just need 4 more episodes to finish the series it makes me pay for the last 4 episodes or I can’t finish it. Now i’m not going to spend how much money they want, on coins that only last about 2 episodes. Mind you the episodes are at most 1 minute and 30 seconds long. But I have heard some people say they don’t like how they give you 5 episodes for 5 ads, but I really don’t mind it, I’ve gotten pretty used to it. A good way to use it is to have a show or movie on that you’ve already seen before then it tells you 0/5 watch a ad click that then watch the show/movie while the ad is going then you can pass those ads quickly. But that’s all I wanted to say. Overall really good app love the shows and I might write another rating once I get to more shows where I only have 4 episodes left and see if it does the same as those other shows!.TheRizzler12387Version: 1.9.00
Improve user experience, but overall great appIf you could add outstanding episodes to watch under the icon of each miniseries, instead of the current view of (x/xx)it will enhance the customer’s experience and keep us engaged while using the app. I came to be entertained not to do math, no matter how simple it may be. For all of you who were patient enough to build up your coins, to then find out about the post 5 day expiration, I thank you! For those of you paying out of pocket for 1 min episodes, thanks for your donations to making this app thrive. I’m patient enough to watch my episodes daily for free. Already seen 10 full mini series with bonus coins absolutely free. Currently watching 6 miniseries simultaneously. I’m surprised how the following shows aren’t as popular: oh no slept with my husband…and 30 days till I marry my husband’s nemesis, that red head actress has acting skills. I love how this platform is opening up opportunities for young actors out of film school. And the chemistry between actors looks real for the most part. Love your content and app. Wish I could be rewarded more for using the app daily..AnushDjanVersion: 1.7.00
Not a fan (Edit: ok starting to like it)So yes the episodes are about 1:30-2:00 mins. Some are mixed with previews and recaps. However, I’m wondering if they developers are reading reviews and fix as they go along. Yes there are ads! However, they are not as bad as before. You can watch up to 15-20 ads and receive coins or episodes (sometimes 2). Which can help watch the stories. The stories are cute, the acting no one is winning a Oscar anytime soon. However they do well for what they are given. If the developers continue to listen to reviews. This might just become a decent app to have :) Ads, everything comes with ads! Then you have to buy coins to watch the stores. I believe the “episodes” are maybe 1 min and half at best. Then you have the option to watch an ad or pay for coins. However, you are limited to 20 ads in a 24 hour period. How to earn coins, ads there’s a limit there too. Each episode varies in coins so in the 30s others near 50. Stories are your typical type booktok werewolf rejected or billionaire made to marry girl no one wants. The price isn’t worth it. Not by a long shot!.CynimiVersion: 1.1.02
Love the storylines but Hate the PriceI love the storylines of most of the shorts, even the cheesy acting that it has sometimes, but even that is very endearing. Honestly, I love most things about the app. I wouldn't say I like the price and how expensive it is to get through one short. With the amount of money you pay, you could buy multiple audiobooks and get the same thing, or even numerous movies, but if I didn’t like the plots in the storylines and wanted to watch cheesy acting romance movies, I'd go to watch them on Netflix. I wish they could somehow make the stars accessible or cheaper so I can get the best watching experience. The membership is understandable. I totally get that, but the stars are where they get you for your money because they draw you in and get you hooked just enough that you need to know what’s going to happen, or it’ll drive you crazy if you dont.?but then you’ll need stars to watch the best version of whatever you're watching. Just be cautious before you get hooked. But otherwise, I love the shorts!.AscdkccVersion: 2.1.30
FrustratingI get into the stories. Just want to know how they end, find some actors I like and others so bad I laugh at them. I watch more ad time than movie time just to be able to finish a story I saw started in a facebook or tiktok ad. Only to constantly have issues. Randomly they will end with the last few episodes to go locked unless I purchase coins. If I could spend $50 on a movie I wouldn’t be watching the ads. Plus episodes will randomly fly like they are in fast forward mode. Then ask you to watch an ad again to re-unlock the episode you already watched ads for. The biggest issue though is the freezing. After selecting to watch an ad I will often sit and stare at the spinning red arrows only to have it frozen in that state until I close and reopen the app. Only to have a possible ad unlocked episode used but still be in the same spot. I loose track of the number of times it freezes or glitches like that and won’t let you select anything while the red arrows spin. If you haven’t already been hooked in-don’t start. If I didn’t get so frustrated not seeing the final
End of a few of these I wouldn’t be watching..CarrieDeann21Version: 1.9.50
Love this app, but coins are a problemI actually like this app although, there are a few problems. Such as the ads. When I got the app, I tried to ignore that fact because I get that you need the ads and whatever. But it becomes too much. Maybe try doing a thing where if you watch two ads at a time, you can watch a few episodes for free without ads or whatever you want to do so it is at least a bit enjoyable. I’d also like to talk about the last few episodes of a series. I got to the last few episodes of one of my series and noticed that it wanted me to pay to watch the rest which I think is outrageous since the coins are kind of glitched for me because when I collected all the daily coin things, it restarted and made me lose all of the coins I had prior. I don’t know what to do now because I was hoping to see the end of the series and wouldn’t have minded watching the ads. I am just kind of sad and a bit annoyed at that fact. Please fix these minor issues to help the app become more enjoyable for your customers. Thank you for reading this review. I hope to see some updates to your app quality very soon..Jidd/Version: 2.0.50
EntertainingI’ve been using the Reel Shot Novels app for a while now, and overall, it’s a pretty entertaining way to pass the time. Some of the stories are genuinely interesting and can really pull you in. That said, a few plots tend to be a bit too predictable or feel similar to others, which can take away from the excitement.
The app gives you the option to watch ads to unlock a few scenes, which I don’t mind doing—especially when the story is good. I’ve even bought coins a few times when I didn’t want to wait and wanted to see how the story ends. The only downside is that the coins go quickly, so it can get frustrating if you’re trying to watch more than just a couple of scenes.
Would be probably amazing to have an unlimited access, so you could enjoy everything available without constantly running out of coins or being interrupted. Still, with a few improvements, it’s a fun and easy way to be entertained—especially if you enjoy short, dramatic stories with a visual twist..JoMarangielloVersion: 2.6.00
More diversityHello downloaded your guises app. I do you think it is very good and I love the shorts and the stories are pretty cool however, One thing I did notice is the lack of diversity and quite a few of your guises projects if not most of your projects.
I totally understand that your guises projects are geared to a specific type of audience and from a business standpoint that makes sense but at the same time a lot of your guises shows lack di like for example all the billionaire CEOs are either white males or men that identify as white and there’s nothing wrong with that, however degree it would be nice to just see a little bit more diversity within your guises projects
Look at the end of the day you still have to run a company and have to cater to your audience, but it just would be nice to see a little bit more people of color whether they’re Hispanic African-American, etc., and more of your guises projects so that way you guys can expand more across other communities and when I say add more diversity, I don’t mean just adding people of color and just putting them in the background I mean, like put them in more of the leading roles or the supporting roles!.The bear alphaVersion: 2.0.00
SubscriptionsThe app is great but it’s so hard to get a decent amount of coins. You either have to purchase them or get a subscription. While purchasing them outright doesn’t sound that bad it adds up quickly. However I thought about getting the subscription instead but you have the option of $20 WEEKLY which is ridiculous as that totals out to $1,040 a year or a yearly subscription of $200. We live in a day and age where times are tough and money is getting hard to get and even harder to keep as bills and groceries keep rising. Everything else I have subscribed to in the past was no more than a $100 yearly and $20 monthly. I find this completely outrageous. If you lowered your subscriptions more people would be encouraged to purchase and fully enjoy your services. However, it’s hard for people like me to even finish a short in two months because of how quickly we run out of coins. I’d enjoy this app more if I could actually watch the shows instead of having to wait to watch videos or get my daily bonus as I can’t even afford the amount of coins it takes to watch a full short..DgffvhytgbVersion: 2.5.00
Download If You Don’t Mind Ads Or Spending Fortune.I really love watching the stories that are provided using this app but the prices they are asking weekly and yearly is outrageous. You can either pay $20 to have them unlock all series for a week or you can pay $200 to have them unlock all series for a year. The stories are very intriguing but way too low budget to cost what they’re asking. They have an option for you to watch an ad and get free “episodes” but the ads are 45-90 seconds long for just a 15-20 second clip of the episode. They will only allow you to watch 5 ads for 5 short clips a day. For those willing to watch the ads they still limit how much you watch of the episode. If I would have known this I wouldn’t have downloaded the app. Wish they had movies like this so I wouldn’t have to fiddle with low budget, money hungry app creators. Download only if you don’t mind watching ads most of the time or spending a ton on something that’s not even worth the amount. Also look out for them trying to get your social media logins. It’s been known to happen once you get to the end of your stories..Sarah K MooreVersion: 2.1.30
For the ReelShort businessThe reason why I gave this five stars is because the way the movies in contents are made. It’s just so amusing to watch and I love it because sometimes I have to press ads to go on another space to the movie or whatever it’s called. I have to press sad or I have to wait till tomorrow so that’s the thing I really don’t like but I still gave it five stars because I feel bad that I gave, the last people a one star review because they literally just stopped in the middle and said give us five stars so I do not like the movie that they make up forgot what the game is called or movie is called. I don’t know, but it just stopped in the middle said give us five star so nope, give them five star they want to like they’re begging me to give you five stars because you’re just a big business that has everybody on this. My sister is on this my dad’s on this. My mom is on this my grandma‘s on this, everybody’s on my cousins on this so yeah I love your business. Hopefully, you give me a shout out and peace out..Kinder bearVersion: 2.2.00
Love it but app is flawedI found this app through Facebook ads. I love the content — yes, it’s cheesy Lifetime Movie and/or Asian drama content with obvious tropes and ramped up plot twists, but it’s a guilty pleasure and I love it.
My problem is that the ads won’t load. The content loads fine, but the ads keep throwing an error. This is an issue because your options are to watch ads or pay $20 USD/week to watch. I don’t have that kind of money.
I understand they have to support the app, and I am happy to view ads to support them instead of giving out cash — but with the ads constantly saying “The ad is not ready yet, please try again later.” I am stonewalled. I can’t continue my series without just waiting for the free daily coins. I wish they could fix the issue with the ads. My internet connection is fine and the content itself loads fine, it’s just the ads that don’t load… which feels intentional to railroad people into just forking over cash. Maybe that would work for people who can afford it, but I have no choice. I may just have to drop this show and watch standard dramas on Netflix..MmogrrrlVersion: 2.2.00
App started freezing all the time this weekAs others have commented, you can watch for free in small bits by watching a lot of ads as long as you are patient. It does get annoying because of the time required. Also, when you come back the next day you are “charged” from your points for the same, last episode that viewed the day before so you end up “paying” for it twice with points - once each day. But it possible to watch the stories by watching the Ads, accumulating coins and being patient and the stories are entertaining after a long day at work.
This week I have suddenly started receiving hundreds of notifications on the app itself during the day which is quite annoying. I have no idea why this suddenly started happening, throughout the day the app will anywhere from over 200, 500 or 700 notifications!! I have to click on the app to open it to get rid of the notifications but more return within an hour or two. I have tried changing the notification settings for the app but it hasn’t made a difference. 🤷♀️..HannaMolVersion: 2.0.00
Usually good, but…*Updated 12/8 - The new update fixed the app and it’s now back to working properly!
So I’m a long time user of this app. I often will get the weekly subscription and binge all the new dramas that have dropped since I last purchased. ($20/wk can get expensive! Just for some mini dramas.) However… in the past month or so, something seems to have changed and there are bugs in the app. I see others talking about it crashing. Mine gets glitchy, where the dramas sound come in and out and the picture will freeze. I then have to close out the app and get back in, which fixes it for a few minutes before it acts up again. Also, I’ve noticed that while using ReelShort, my phone will get super hot and my battery will die fast… even when it’s plugged in. I’ve checked for updates and “bug fixes”, which one was last week and one a day ago, and the issues continue. I normally like using this app, but will be deleting and using others if these issues persist..DharmaGW03Version: 2.1.30
Pretty good concept, a bit expensiveWell I downloaded the app because I got sucked into a storyline I previewed on FB. Frankly the app as a whole, it’s a great concept, and the one story I watched was pretty good. One thing I noticed is there is a lack of variety with regard to genres, the actors seem to be amateur, and finally there is a serious lack in diversity. I suspect the team responsible for this app are still developing, and tbh, I expect great things, but it’s a bit too expensive as is. $20 for a week or $200 for a year is crazy in my opinion. I get it, making these videos isn’t cheap, but why would anyone pay $80 a month when there are multiple other movie watching platforms that are far cheaper? It just seems a bit unreasonable. I completely support the concept, short movies divided into clips for the dwindling attention spans of the present population (mine included), and feel like this is great for indie film makers, in many ways, but it feels a bit cash grabby with the fact that the movie quality and the price aren’t congruent. It’s like paying Bentley prices for a Toyota..ClavincusVersion: 2.1.30

ReelShort - Stream Drama & TV Negative Reviews
CoinsNormally I do not leave reviews especially negative ones. These shorts are really entertaining and I ultimately enjoy watching them. However, I am very disappointed and upset that each “short” takes up a various amount of your coins. I started out watching every ad to get my coins for the day which landed me just over 230 coins. So I was a bit excited to watch more of the series I have been trying to get through. I figured that I would be able to watch at least 4 to 5 shorts (5 minutes or so of the series for the day) but I didn’t even get that. I was able to watch two which were less then a minute long. Afterwards it says I do not have enough coins. I would give this app a 5 star review if it wasn’t for the fact that somehow the price for each short adjusts based on how many coins you have. On top of that you cannot see the price of how much each episode costs until you are out of coins. Yesterday, the next episode said it was 58 coins. Today I had over 230 coins and was only able to watch two episodes? In other words one episode cost 58 coins and the next one took the rest. It seems like a major scam to get people to really fork out the money for the game without realizing what is going on. If the company fixes the issues then I will come back and update my review. If not my review will stay. Thank you for reading. Again this is not something I do in fact this is the first review I have ever done but I would hate to see people get scammed..BreezyelfVersion: 1.8.50
Money Hungry AppThis app is a money grab. I downloaded it because I kept getting an ad for one show. I was like I might as well watch it. They prompt you every like 7 words to buy the app or watch more shows. It’s ridiculously expensive for corny shows. It cost more to buy this app then ANY streaming services and the shows are short and corny. I don’t think anyone besides children who aren’t spending their own money would do that. Anyway I watched one show over like a month would watch the ads whenever I was bored enough to do it then I get to the end of the show and they won’t let me watch the last few episodes without paying I can no longer use adds. As if they don’t make money from the ads already. Luckily because the show is corny and predictable I already know how it ends so it is what it is. And it’s $20 a week (which is $100-$120 a month, $1040 a year). not even for unlimited shows you get a certain about of coins that let you watch certain shows. It’s all confusing and a way to take money. The most expensive streaming service I know of hulus bundle with live tv is like $74 a month and that’s 3 services AND live tv. The ads are all over a minute long for less than an minute of content you will be wasting your time if you are using this app. I wouldn’t waste your time with this app. Just watch your corny shows on your normal streaming platform and save yourself the time, energy, and money. You’re not missing anything by skipping this app..KingKeanneVersion: 1.8.01
Good Stories but really bad coin systemAlthough the stories are great its hardly worth watching 20 ads a day to only watch 10 mins worth of your show, you get 5 free episodes a day, then 5 more “Free” episodes where you will watch ads then you have to use coins. They have many ways to get coins like daily login, watching more ads, and daily tasks BUT you only get about 200 coins from doing it all, unless you agree to download another app from reelshort. Also the episodes are not consistent coin prices, one episode may be 52 coins when the next is 72! With the little amount of coins your given you can understand how that would be frustrating. To be honest Im kinda used to the whole “watch ads get more” spiel and I really don’t mind it, but when you want me to download other apps that could be scammy for more coins thats when the issue arises. I had saw this app on tiktok and decided to try it they showed 10 + mins of the movie I was watching on tiktok for Free, then the app made me watch ads and get coins just to get back to the place the ad stops at even though I had already watched all episodes. Keep in mind for the “popular” stories the episodes are only about 1 min long. I will be deleting this app after I finish the story I started.
I hope this review brings other people some insight on how this app is run, if you are here from an ad where ever that may be..HcjxjssjVersion: 2.0.50
Rip-Off!!!!!These people are clearly Shiesty you literally get like three lines worth of viewing and then you have to watch a 30 second or more advertisement they make it to where you can’t even take the crap. All they want is your money that’s why they do this it is a rip off these people clearly are really hurting for money and don’t care about this app. They try and say oh it’s user-friendly such good short stories. Yeah the stories are good too bad you can’t even watch a fourth of one a day. You have to watch 20 ads a day and then you have to wait a full 24 hours before you can finish and their packages are like $100 to pay for nobody’s gonna pay this these actors are so cheesy. It is ridiculous, it’s like trying to watch a soap opera in only getting to watch like maybe 15/22 worth a day because you have to watch more and ads than anything else. This frustrates me beyond belief I’m uninstalling this app because clearly these people are super poor if they’re trying to sit and take advantage of people in this way and then when you go to reviews if they don’t like what you posted when you tell the truth, they only post the good reviews so they don’t even care to listen to you and what people actually think why do you think and every single episode, they talk about gold diggers, because the people who make this app clearly are golddiggersI am infuriated. I’m uninstalling right now..HeatherlyynpVersion: 1.2.00
Not worth the timeI saw an add for this and it looked interesting. I don’t watch TV or binge shows because I don’t have the time. I thought this app would be perfect. It’s been 3 days and I’m not even through 1 show. I got a little less than 2 minutes before I had to watch a 40 second commercial. I got about 45 seconds of the next “episode” before I had another 40 second commercial. I had about 39 seconds on the 3 “episode” before I had a 45 second commercial. The commercials stop for the day so you need to wait until the next day. The next day the first episode started with the last one from the day before and I had to watch a commercial. I did t get as many commercials as I did the day before. Now it’s my 3rd day of trying to watch this to get to the end and I got last episode from yesterday and 2 commercials and I can’t get any further. This was supposed to be a “free” app. I’m not paying to finish the episode. If I can’t watch the last 3 tomorrow, I will delete the app. It’s not worth the money. The last 3 episodes are more than my monthly Netflix subscription. Just doesn’t seem worth it. I have no problem watching free ads so they can get paid, but the ads should no be longer than the episode segment your watching. Not worth the time if your as busy as I am and don’t have 12 days to watch what is only about 30 minutes of a show..Orbi haterVersion: 1.1.08
Absolutely uselessEDIT: Ok so I waited and wanted to give a fair chance watched a few series of short films and then decided let me get my bonuses stack them up so I can watch one all the way thru but all week long they give u 175 in bonuses if it gives u all of them but then it takes 150 everyday if you don’t watch them immediately this entire app is pretty much a scam to waste your time and have you watching the same adds repeatedly as soon as I’m done I’m deleting the app it’s definitely not for me!!!!
This is by the worst short film app I’ve ever used #1 watch ads to get free episodes #2 thos ads immediately transfer u to download an app #3 it almost forces u to download them as there is no way exit #4 if u don’t it download apps u do not receive the points since u have to close the app to exit fb should be ashamed of themselves for letting them advertise this on their platform. Omg after months I get a response email asking which apps which is outright comical because you watch the same ones over and over again. Not to mention the option to edit my review so I chose to do so after providing screenshots from today just for entertainment purposes they know which ads I’ve watched each of them at least 5 times to watch literally 5 episodes but the proof provided is recent and they literally don’t care about the experience at all!!!!!.Chae1979Version: 1.5.01
Not adding upDownloaded the app not knowing that the story’s don’t last very long 1-2 minutes and then you can only watch 15 adds that will let you watch a free short story. I had 125 bonus and by watching a bunch of ads and I watched 1 short that was 44 and I have 20 left. The math isn’t matching for me. Isn’t 1+1=2 or did that change. Disappointed in this app. Not worth buying if the math isn’t matching. Btw ads are so dang long and so extra. You watch the ad and then you push the X and have to wait another 5 seconds. Just to do it all over a gain. Short story could be longer to make it worth the time and money. Please fix the matching issue. (Wrote this review Sunday) Today Tuesday To whom this may concern, Whoever you are have responding to consumers has an attitude and neither do you as a developer and employee responding to your customers, do not value us as customers. If you don’t like our feed back about your app then don’t respond, and just fix the ALL the issues that is wrong with your app. Your app is not great. There is WAY TO MANY flaws with the app. Treat your customers better…….. have a fantastic day!! Update I was interested in finishing the “BIG BAD HUSBAND PLEASE WAKE UP” just deal with watching all these ads. They stop letting you watch ads at video 51 out 55 forcing you to buy coins.Babygfmt89Version: 1.0.04
I GOT SCAMMED BY THIS APP DO NOT DOWNLOADI absolutely hate the fact you have to pay to watch and barely get to do anything for a 5min (5 videos) y’all are greedy money hungry for an app that barely works. Had delete redownload and reinstall and it took everything I paid for and tried to make me pay again for more coins. I disputed charges due to the fact it attempted to charge my card unauthorized payment 2 times since this app has been deleted. Do not fall for this scam. I had to dispute charges with my bank due to the fact when I reached out to complain to customer service nothing was every done and it was made to be “my fault” for the charges when I never authorized more than one charge.
So not only did this app try to fraudulently charge me when I called my bank about the charges to block this transaction apparently it had MULTIPLE pending transactions attempting to be made which were all UNAUTHORIZED. so if you want to be scammed and them to attempt to steal your money without you knowing download this app 🫶🏼
Highly disappointed with lack of customer service support and gaslighting they try to say you made those charges when in fact I had deleted the app for a month and that’s when those unauthorized charges were attempting to go through thank goodness for my bank having a protection against scammers like this..WhegshhdVersion: 1.9.00
Not worth itI downloaded this app because I love to read. Being a busy mom of 6, I do not have the time to sit and read a nice book so I thought “What the heck, why not?” You advertise that the app is free… To start off it is not. The app itself is free yes. But you all get paid double. So technically it is not. You have to watch ads in order to unlock new 1-2 minute video(you all get paid per person per ad) The reason they are 1-2 minute clips is because if you throw out a full episode, no one would really pay to get ads removed. They can just watch it and be done. Basically, promote the ad, every download pays the creator who then pays the promoter. (To my knowledge. I am not too familiar with how that works but money is being generated.) Now if you DO NOT want any ads, you have to PAY to remove the ads (Still getting paid). You’re breaking our pockets by filling yours. I get that bugs are being “fixed” but that’s really not the issue here. The issue is that for the amount of ads that we watch and the amount of time and money we spend on this “free app” we should be seeing WAY more than just 1-2 minutes. I refuse to watch anymore ads and as much as I want to see some of these amazing storylines, I cannot deal with these ads. Will definitely delete. I’ve had this app for a week. I gave it a shot. Not wasting anymore time..Anonymoush2oVersion: 1.1.02
Doesn't save your bonuses from watching adsI had 430+ in bonuses from watching the videos and didn't spend any of them. Instead, I watched the ads to play the reels. Suddenly I'm down to 35, which is what I started with before watching the ads. What's the point of watching them if it doesn't save anything? The stories are decent - for each story you get a chunk free and then 5 free through watching ads. It's a lot of time to watch one story. The cost of buying coins is high considering how much each reel is to watch - and the price goes up as you get further in the story.
The bonuses disappeared the day after I got them. It's not user error. Yesterday, I had 46 coins and as I watched ads to watch episodes, the app used MY bonus coins instead of letting me watch for free. After reading the reviews, it seems that the developers are more interested in explaining away everyone's complaints than improving their app.
On top of that, the majority of the ads themselves are 80 seconds long whereas the episodes are less than that. You end up spending more time watching ads than episodes. The episodes are fun and entertaining, but it's definitely not a good app - unless they actually look into the issue that people are complaining about and fix it..AbelltoomanynicknamesaretakenVersion: 1.8.50
Not worth investing your time into watching theseThis app content is okay and hence the reason why I want to watch the content. Unfortunately, it is very time consuming and not worth the time spent or money to keep watching. Foremost I watched a clip of the series the double life of my billionaires husband on Instagram and I was intrigued so I decided to download the app. I signed in and immediately all episodes are locked so you cannot select where you left of but have to start from the beginning. Episodes are 1.30 minutes long so I said okay let me fast forward it to unlock the next episodes so I may start where I left off. Unfortunately, this app only allows you to watch 5 ads per day which are to unlock episodes by watching ad option. After you have watch the 5 ads it will prompt you to spend coins/bonuses to keep on watching the episodes. Per episode they charge you from 40-81 coins and I think even more as I only was able to unlock one with all the free bonuses add watching. My suggestions is that it should be a subscription based without ads however, they will not because adding 1-2 minute ads per video played generates more money than having a monthly subscription per person. Would not recommend this app to no one..OmgyildaVersion: 1.2.01
Kind of not worth itI initially enjoyed using the app because it provided a few free stories, but over time, the excessive number of ads and the high cost to view a short story for just one minute became frustrating. Even the daily check-in rewards were not helpful, as the episode coins required were priced at 75 or more. In my opinion, this app could only be considered good if the ads we watch and the coins we earn actually made sense, which is not currently the case. Additionally, it would greatly improve the experience if the short stories were extended to at least two minutes or more, as the length of the ads we have to watch before playing the episode is almost as long as the episode itself. The repetitiveness of the ads, particularly those for scamming apps like Bingo Cash, is annoying and irritating. The app's pricing structure for episodes, which becomes more expensive as we watch more, feels like we are being coerced into making purchases. It's disheartening because there are people in the world who cannot afford to spend money but still support the app. Does the app not care about them? This is why the app's rating is currently low, around 2.9, as it seems like the app does not prioritize its customers..Winifred BarnesVersion: 1.1.02
$20 a WEEKI wish I could give this negative stars. I saw a clip on tiktok so thought I’d check it out. You get a couple free clips (maybe 3 minutes). Then you have to use points or watch ads. You can only watch 5 ads, each ad being 95 seconds long (and each clip is about 80-90 seconds). There’s a couple free things you can do to collect points, but it will only get you 1 or 2 clips further. And when a movie is 76 clips, that’s next to nothing. So then you are either forced to pay a crazy amount for points ($10 for 1k points which gets you 11-12 clips. And when a movie is 76 clips, that means you’ll pay $60 for just 1 movie) or $20 A WEEK to get everything “free” for the week!!!!! And the wording they put makes it sound like you get a free week before they charge you, but you don’t (thankfully I didn’t fall for it, but it would be SO EASY to do)! On top of that, the one I was watching (and I heard the content others we’re watching as well) is easy to find elsewhere where you can just watch a couple of ads and not have to pay $80 a month! So it’s not even like it’s exclusive content. This premium price is 100% NOT for a premium service. I have no idea how it has so many 4 and 5 star reviews! I would go as far as to say this app is a scam with as misleading as everything is..SingerSarah2002Version: 1.5.06
Stay awayIt appears to be like hallmark type love story movies for “free” because you can supposedly watch ads daily that enable you to get points to buy more time but the amount you earn to watch is ridiculous! Some of the clips that my 50 points got me were only just over 1 minute long! After I used all my free joining points and daily bonuses plus spent $5, I was still not even a quarter of the way through one movie and had wasted so much time! I will never get back this time I wasted and I will never even know how the stupid story ends and it’s aggravating as heck. Soooooo bad. Do not waste your time. Lesson learned again on why I generally try to stay away from apps- there are so few that aren’t a complete money grabbing waste of time…the fact that $5 plus like 15+ ads isn’t enough to watch one incredibly cheaply made, cheaply acted, cheaply everything, movie, is ridiculous. Plus the fact that there’s no free trial on the weekly or yearly subscription is super telling. I think the movies are probably annoying to watch because they will stop so much where the typical ad breaks would’ve been. Start, stop, start, stop- over and over is not enjoyable. And anyone considering shelling out $200 for a year of this would realize that on their free trial and cancel..HecallsmetigerlilyVersion: 1.5.05
Money grabI saw an ad on IG, which made me come download this app. It’s kind of confusing when you get on originally because it doesn’t walk you through how to use the app. But with some playing around, I realized that you get about seven free episodes that are no more than a minute long and after that, you either have to watch ads which I only believe you can watch seven a day or buy coins. The other option they give you is to sign up for a VIP membership that is $20 for seven days. If you choose the option to watch ads, keep in mind that the ads that you watch may not equal enough to unlock an episode. I did end up buying a VIP membership for the seven days and watched as many shows as I could but again I have a job. I don’t have time to sit around trying to fit all these shows in seven days. That’s a very steep price point. Most of the storylines are the same, but just with different characters you might see a few changes. But overall, I enjoyed how cheesy they were just don’t think I will be buying another membership. Oh yeah, and don’t forget your coins expire after a couple of days so basically you have watched ads for nothing if you don’t use those coins right away..Chanel.FVersion: 1.9.00
Ad galore!This application is packed full of ads and it is sooooo bad that it makes this a 1 star review, which states a lot! You get approximately 30 seconds of watch time 5x daily on each show, but you have to watch 1 to 3 minutes of ads in between each segment. So practically you watch 5-15 minutes of ads just to get approximately 2 to 3 minutes of watch time. That is just absurdly ridiculous! It should be 5+ minutes of watch time per 1 to 3 minute ad, but ultimately I don’t think it should have any ads. To make things worse the ads they select is horrible specifically the constant scams that they keep showing. You also have to earn/purchase “coins” by watching ads to unlock watch time, which is ridiculous. Especially, when it forces you to spend these coins because it is impossible to remove the auto play future until after it used your coins and then you have to go to settings to remove it for it to finally work. The other con is they practically play the same storyline over and over just switch out the main characters and sometimes minor changes. Ultimately, the ads and forcing the coin aspect makes this my top worst mobile app. Removing the ads entirely or significantly reducing the ads will highly improve ratings..SamanthaheizerVersion: 1.9.00
Okay in theory but terrible realisticallyI downloaded this from Instagram because the story clips were so good and entertaining. And in the beginning it was fine. You get like a few eps free for new stories you start. However it just takes too long to gain coins to unlock stories. You can pay 100$ for 10,000 coins but each clip costs differently. I assume based off of popularity. I’d say the clips are 30-70 coins per clip per story. The auto purchase is automatically turned on so you spend coins without even knowing it. You can watch 7 ads per day for a total of 165 coins. In theory this is good. I actually wouldn’t mind paying a subscription for all free access instead of having to pay so much money to just enjoy one story. It’s about 20 bucks per story but again it differs due to length of each story. So overtime I just stopped using it and will be uninstalling just because it’s too much work and too much money to just watch episodes. Good thing though is the customer service is very quick to respond to inquiries. Practically within a few hours.
Edit: I’m well aware of the check ins and watching ads but it over all not worth it. Way too much effort and dedication to get coins.MosweerVersion: 1.2.02
I want to love this but I hate itI love the idea of bite sized episodic series of silly lil dramatic stories. The issue I have with this is the cost and the amount of time wasted on ads. You can buy a ticket to go see a blockbuster film in full for less money than it would cost to unlock every episode of a 60 episode series. If all 60 episodes only cost 30 coins to unlock, that’s still 1800 coins, which is more than 15 dollars! Each episode is 40 to 90 seconds long, let’s say the average is 70 seconds to be generous. Over 60 episodes, that’s only about 70 minutes of content total, less than the time a big Oscar-worthy movie should take to watch. And it costs more?? Why???
And don’t get me started with the ads, I saw on another review that the ads are anywhere from 5 to 30 seconds long, I didn’t get a single ad that was less than 30 seconds, and I watched over 20 ads. That means that at best, I was watching ads for 1/3 of the time that I was watching stuff on this app. And at worst? HALF OF THE TIME was spent watching ads! You can literally do better on cable television, at least the ads are only about a quarter of what you’re watching.
Tldr: ad opportunities seem generous but massively waste time, and the cost of coins is exorbitant. Please do better!.A wee bit peevedVersion: 1.1.02
SCAMIf I could give this app no stars I would. This app is VERY misleading and I’m almost about to make this a civil matter over $20 in hopes to gain more for the headache they have caused. I originally came across the short reels app via Instagram and was drawn into a story that I wanted to complete. The app advertised a 7 day free trial that I initiated on August 3rd but later cancelled on August 6th before my free trial ending date of August 10th. The reason for me cancelling was because I was having issues out of nowhere with downloading free apps onto my device because of a “billing error”, so I decided to cancel all trials just to make sure I wasn’t overlooking a missed payment on my account. Come to find out, I reach out to apple and this company has been trying to wrongfully charge me since I downloaded the app on August 3rd! This is bad business practice and I’ll make sure to make an example out of this company to show them that misleading customers is wrong!!!!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. Apple will make you pay the charge and will later reach out to the app developer for a refund, but the simple fact that I have to pay ANYTHING is freaking insane. I will make sure to have all my apple friends leave a negative review on this thievery of an app. How dare you!.Syd1715Version: 1.9.50
Shows are good but..The shows are good but this app is looking for money. Like we have to watch and ad to unlock an episode and the ads are longer then the time we can watch it. And we can only watch a few episodes a day if we don’t pay . I don’t get why you have to pay money to watch shows. Like I know you have to pay for tickets to watch something in a movie theater , but in a movie theater it’s 1/2 hours long and no adds in the middle of it , this app you can only watch a few episodes A day (without paying)and still have to go through adds. I would give this app 5 stars if we could watch it for free but still go through ads, maybe you guys can change it to where we can watch it for free and there can still be ads? Because I don’t really like how you have to pay to watch a full show and go through ONE HUNDRED ads while watching. Maybe just change it to where we can watch for free but there can still be ads? And one more thing, I don’t like how the adds are 30s and over, maybe put the adds a little shorter? Like 10-30 seconds and not over 30 seconds? . The shows are good ,I just don’t like how we have to pay to watch a full show, ada every single minute, and the ads are 30s+..EllysxaviatorVersion: 1.9.50
Horrible appI was sucked in by a commercial for one of the shows on this app. The episodes are about a minute each. The first 2 days you could watch 20 commercials and watch 20 episodes. Then day 3, you could no longer watch that many commercials you could only collect the daily bonus of coins (20 coins for the first few days) and watch 7 commercials totaling 175 coins. Sounds great right? Except each 1 minute episode runs anywhere from 59 to 117 coins (that I have seen so far). But if you’re impatient you can buy coins - depending on how many you buy it is basically 100 coins for $1. So the show I am watching is 49 one minute episodes and for ease of math we will call the episodes 100 coins each - $49 for a 49 minute show. But of course you can keep doing it for free except now for the last 2 days I can only collect the 20 free coins for logging in and none of the videos will load- tried multiple times throughout the day, so it is going to take days to finish the last 2 episodes. Not sure if I really care enough to hang on to see the resolution. Save yourself the hassle of downloading the app. The one positive I can say is the story is pretty interesting and the acting isn’t bad, but not worth this..MEwolfladyVersion: 1.1.04
If I wanted TEMU Netflix, I’d stick to the ads.I download the app out of pure curiosity after seeing an ad on TikTok about their top story “The Virgin and the Billionaire“. I decided to scroll through the stories they had to offer for a bit, but all of them were some mix of bad acting, bad writing, or just being plain cringe from the getgo.
I saw a trailer for a werewolf themed show, and I burst out laughing when it showed the main character’s wolf form in a mirror towards the end because the CGI was so atrocious. I screenshotted it to send to my friend (to make fun of) and got a pop-up warning me that any attempts to share or repurpose the content on the app would result in legal action, along with soon realizing any form of trying to record the screen doesn’t work and just gives a black screen…
I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this: NOBODY’S stealing this garbage tier content. People screenshotting are doing so to make fun of the horrible acting that seems to be the golden standard for the content on this app. If I wanted to be unable to share anything about what I’m watching with my friends, I’d be on Netflix on a computer or phone. Promptly undownloading — no need to waste my time on the same 3 plots if I can’t even give my friends a giggle..RedwolftrashVersion: 2.0.50
Decent content but expensiveAlthough ReelShort advertises content for as little as a dime per episode, my experience has been that the actual cost is closer to $2 per episode. Like WebToon and other services, you pay for a certain number of coins and then use coins to buy episodes. The coins make it easier to lose sight of how much you’ve spent, so it can add up quickly. There are also weird changes to the cost per episode so it’s not consistent. One episode will cost 76 coins, then another will cost 50, only to shoot back up to over 80 coins needed. This inconsistent pricing also makes it harder to understand how much you’re spending.
While you do have the option to watch ads to unlock episodes, you have to watch them every two episodes, meaning you are watching ads every four to six minutes which gets frustrating. Also, there is a limit on how many ads you can watch in a day.
The stories are interesting, but I recommend really taking time to calculate how many coins you need to watch a full season and compare it to how much the coin packages are. ReelShort should really get rid of the deceptive “dime per episode” statement..TaSampsoVersion: 1.1.04
I got sucked in!I am so disappointed I watched one of the reels and was excited. The storyline sounded good, so I said why not the app is free. I got the app then I realized episodes were small clips, like a minute or two per clip. I also noticed that I had like 20 commercials for free which I thought would take me through the end of the show. I was going to have to watch them, which is no big deal to me because sometimes I like a good commercial, then I realized after getting completely sucked into the show I was watching that I was finished with the commercials and couldn’t watch anymore and I have no earthly idea how and when I’m going to get more commercials to watch so I can finish the story. I’m going to finish the story at some point, whenever I can figure out how to get more free commercials. Then when I’m finished with that, I am also finished with this app because I looked and I am not paying $29 to watch a show. It’s absolutely ridiculous. The idea was pretty good. The stories that I’ve seen so far look like they’re good, acting in so so, I would’ve been willing to pay a minimal fee to watch, but $29 for one show. Absolutely not! The best of luck with this. I’m sure this is for someone just not for me!.PeeDee3Version: 1.1.07
Extremely shortThe chapters are about 1 minute long…I’m not kidding. You have to pay for every minute you watch lol….its insane. I got all the freebie bonus and watched all the ads I could for the day and it got me approximately 15 min worth of content….BUT it’s interrupted content. Part of the daily bonus is having to watch 2-3 min ads to watch 1 minute. It sucks….im glad I tested it out by getting all the daily bonus and watching ads before I spent money. You are going to get very little out of this app but will spend a fortune. Who wants to waste their time collecting all the daily bonus to watch only a few minutes a day of interrupted content to get through the story?? I rather just buy a good book or audio book for $20 and save myself the frustration and money. This app could make so much money if the chapters were 5 min longer and less expensive…. more people would stick around and willing to put money into this product but I don’t think the creators behind these apps are smart enough for that. I can tell by the responses to everyone’s reviews are just bots….they don’t care about anyone’s suggestions. Do yourself a favor and don’t get sucked in to these ridiculous apps..Crystal&cadenVersion: 1.3.00
This is so stupidI actually liked the app until it told me to pay to finish or watch adds and it will only let you watch 1 add per “episode” then it will make you either pay or watch another add until you’ve watched five and after you’ve watched 5 it says to pay or come back in 9 hours to me thats stupid and the episodes are only 1 minute long and unless you pay you can only watch a certain amount of “episodes” until you have to start watching the adds and I’m not paying $100 for a thing I can watch on tik tok me personally I’m deleting the app until they can stop scamming people and I just read every review and the reply from these people they don’t even care what you say it’s just the same EXACT thing every time “you can earn free rewards by daily check in and by watching adds there are 3 new series every week I hope you can try the VIP bundle” for a 1 minute short story that the people talk for like half of the minute and barely anything happens in the one “episode” they sure are asking a lot I’m done and I’m deleting it if they fix it and not make me pay and or watch so many videos for one episode I might come back but until the BYE.Lol djdhdndkxVersion: 2.0.00
The gimmickThe gimmick is give you 5 minutes straight to get you hooked on the “show” then they want you to pay or watch ads for 20-60 seconds of clip at a time. Originally you could watch up to 5 ads each day per “show” to make it so far. Now you can only watch 5 ads total not per show to get so far! The rewards section is where they get you, be careful that you actually get your reward and mindful that you aren’t rewatching an ad/bonus you already watched because it will glitch and stay on the same ad/bonus button just to make you watch an extra ad but get no reward. Your bonus reward options are always sketch. Start off you can get 170 bonus coins a day over 7 ads with a wait time of 15 seconds between watching now you get 150 bonus coins over 10 ads and a wait time of 60 seconds! That’s three additional ads and 20 less coins and a longer wait time! Now you can only watch 5 ads extra total not per show to get so far! How is that right? And some of the actors are so freaking horrible and the story lines are just retellings of other stories on here or elsewhere. Not worth it. I’m going to be deleting this app…...JLCre8Version: 1.5.05
Not free a lie! Do not get hooked.I understand the need for ads. And I don’t mind waiting every day to watch an ad or a few and then see a few episodes. That was my choice. But you now have to pay to see the last several episodes? That is fraud. I’m quite frankly the characters in their acting is not worth me to pay whatever already paid which is to watch ads to get through the story. Do you want to make this site legitimate then you need to be consistent through the end of each of your stories because some of us are willing to watch the ads and quite frankly the ads may have helped the advertisers who knows what we’ve purchased or been interested because of those ads, but I will not ever ever ever support your site by buying time because you have falsely advertised when I tried to do one without it. I seen my show all the way through. I want to watch others in a more timely manner but now I’m not interested in ReelShort unless by tomorrow or the end of the week can finish my show by watching ads otherwise I will always advertise that you guys are liars and false and that you perpetrate on the weak.ShalomZeekVersion: 2.0.50
ABSOLUTE RIPOFF! A BIG SCAM!It’s very confusing with trying to watch these movies with “Coins”. You can watch a few episodes of your movie (Episode length is only like a minute or so, give or take some) for free then you can watch like a 90-second ad in order to watch about a 90-second episode - its RIDICULOUS!! You can only watch 5 Ads to get 5 free episodes in like a 6 hour time period. Imagine watching a full 90-second ad just watch a minute or so of your movie, and then keep doing that, but only 5 times. If you want to finish watching your movie then you have to pay.
I’m NOT paying $199/year to watch unlimited Reels short films, that’s more than Netflix!
So I thought I’d pay the lowest cost package which was for $4.99 - I thought I’d at least get to finish watching my movie which was roughly on episode 33 of 72 and then watch some other short films too. That $4.99 only bought me like 10 episodes. I still have over 30 episodes to finish the first and only movie Instarted watching - I got to watch 10-15 minutes worth of their content and my $4.99 worth of “Coins” was finished just like that.
This is a SCAM, a HUGE RIPOFF!!.Love to TradeVersion: 2.0.00
Difficult to use but good contentYou can really tell they put tons and tons of effort into the high quality productions, but the acting couuulld use a little work. But hey, I’m not complaining about something free, what I AM complaining about is A. how the app doesn’t even allow me to watch the ads for the episodes half the times. It says “Video not ready” most of the time and you need to refresh or wait a couple hours and come back. It does the same with you don’t finish watching the previous episode, so you have to watch to the episode to the very last second. B. When you get to the end of the episodes you can ONLY use coins, meaning you either have to pay or watch 4-5 ads to unlock one of the last episodes. And C. the lack of variety in Ads. I really don’t mind watching them, but it gets extremely torturous after your 100th Royal Match ad that we all know is not an accurate representation of the actual game. I feel if the apps wasn’t as frustrating to navigate and use and an improvement in the acting could easily bump up the rating to 5 stars..Sargam394Version: 1.1.02
Cool app but one short is a total rip off of another storyReally like the concept and format of this app however the short “fated to my forbidden alpha” is a total rip off of another story called “My miracle luna (blue lake series)” on the Dreame app. Whether intentional or not, it’s clear that the short’s story was either copied from or “inspired by” the book on Dreame app. Ironically I was rereading the book when I came across this app and was intrigued by a video adaptation of a werewolf romance which is what the book is as well. However, the plot is exactly the same. Both girls are slaves to a pack that attacked their home pack. Both find out their mate is the alpha of the attacking pack, with a slight difference being that in the book it is the son who is becoming the alpha, on the girls 18th birthday. Both girls get rescued from the attacking pack by being rejected by their original mate and getting a 2nd chance mate in a visiting alpha who are both the alpha of the largest pack in both versions. Some quotes are even verbatim from the book in the short’s version. And that’s just from watching the first few episodes..Nocturnal-goddessVersion: 1.1.03
Too many ads.The story lines themselves are great. Unfortunately you only get 40seconds - 1 or 2 mins average watching time, after that you must watch an ad which takes about 30sec to 1 min of time, to unlock the next chapter to watch. Spent $7 for it to be gone in 5 mins and not even half way through the story. (The coins are not worth buying, highly expensive and gone in a few mins you will easily put hundreds down the drain)The only way to get through your story is to watch ads over and over every 1-2 mins and there’s a limit of 20ads a day. About 10-15 mins of watching time. Will be deleting after my story is finished. Asking to much of my time and way to much money to watch the story.
Please lengthen the chapters to maybe 3-4 mins per ad watched. Remove the waiting timer to earn additional 5 rewards. Bring your prices down. Then maybe people may be able to reload their coins which are affordable to the average person, and younger people, and further watch more stories and stay interactive with your app. Unfortunately this comes off as a money grab and waste of time with the amount of ad watching and money asking to be spent on coins for it to be gone so fast. I usually put a lot of time and money into apps like episode if they’re worth it. I will be staying over there as the story's are great and prices are good monthly pass with unlimited reading for $15..XX_NightEagle_XxVersion: 1.1.02
MehAll the story’s are great but it’s very annoying only being able to watch a certain amount unless you pay, and the ads are about 80secs long..IigcI’m fxtxtVersion: 1.9.00
Now I have to pay????I been through 43 of 49 Episodes and now at the end of the series and suffering through 43 ads I have to pay to finish????? This is trash. Don’t get sucked in..KdoolingVersion: 1.1.08
Don’t botherThe app has too many ads, the movies aren’t good and they have way to many none consensual sex scenes.Prabh--Version: 1.1.04
Je ne le conseille pasEn aucun cas, je conseille cette application j’ai vu un bout de vidéo sur Facebook je voulais connaître la suite donc j’ai téléchargé l’application rendu dans l’application, on me demande de payer j’ai payé 8$ en me disant que ça serait assez pour connaître la fin de l’histoire pour 8$ j’ai le droit à deux minutes supplémentaire. C’est vraiment abusé. Un film au cinéma ça coûte ça gardez vos sous et aller au cinéma sa vaut plus la peine 😂.MELCA1278Version: 1.9.50

Changed too muchUsed to be allowed to watch 5 ads per series and now can only watch 5 a day. Gone the way of the rest of these apps. Soon you won’t be able to access the episodes through ads at all. Lost my trust..Ksmit288Version: 1.5.05
Very poorYou people just want us to be watching ads which give you people money. It’s boring to be watching one episode and one ads which is even longer than the episode. Too bad.Vobo mathsVersion: 1.1.04
Disappointing at BestPaid $129USD only to watch 2 films and have lots of credits left but it has stopped working. Tried to contact support via email address provided but no response. Will need to seek a refund through my credit card company if this is not resolved soon. Really disappointing as I would have watched more and bought more credits.Kiwibelle1012Version: 1.1.04

CheatingI understand that we have to watch ads or pay to watch but if I already saw some clips on tik tok from the app’s account, I cannot skip to where I am left off and forced to use my coins to rewatch what I have already seen. Also the weekly price is as much as my MONTHLY Netflix price which is absurd.JhoanggVersion: 2.0.81
Endless Ads and Overpriced Episodes,ReelShort Isn’t Worth ItI was really disappointed with ReelShort. The episodes are incredibly short,usually just a minute or two but the ads to watch them are longer than the episodes themselves. After every tiny clip, you’re bombarded with another ad, which completely ruins the flow of the story. Even worse, the coin system feels like a money grab. To unlock an entire series, you’d have to spend way more than a subscription to a premium service like Netflix, which offers full-length episodes with no extra fees..JasonyehtetVersion: 2.0.81
Not worth itThe ads are too long and then when I purchased for more time, it just give me back to things I already seen so it was a waste of my money. It’s really unfortunate because the look the shorts are really good, but would not recommend..Disappointed dearVersion: 2.0.81
Ads too longYou have to watch long ads to see about 45 seconds of the story. You can only watch 5 scenes a day unless you pay. After watching ads, the scene comes on and at least once a day, twice yesterday, it is on fast forward and if I try to pause it or go back to the start, it skips the scene, and I never get to watch it..MistymountainladyVersion: 2.0.81
Missing necessary featuresI have been watching all the ads for this app on tik tok and thought I would give the app a chance. I’ve watched through a few of the ads and I was bored of looking up the end scenes on YouTube so I caved and downloaded the app. My problem with the app is that it literally makes you watch every episode and won’t let me skip to the part of the show I am on. First off this bothers me because I was better off just going you YouTube which made me feel like getting this app was a waste of time. My second problem is that blocking people from skipping episodes makes it feel like the app is poorly designed which caused me to lose interest. Fix these features please if you want to build your user base..(665;)8&6Version: 2.0.81
Too many repetitive adsI collect as many coins as I can for free each day, but it still only gets through a few “episodes”, and most of the ads are over a minute long. I know developers say they’re only “5-30 seconds”, but that’s false. I’ve also see the same ad over and over and over again. It’s easier to just mute them and do something else for a minute, then do the same for the next ads.
Episodes should be longer for the length and amount of ads to watch..NickyyysterVersion: 2.0.81
