ShortMax - Watch Dramas & Show Positive Reviews
Great idea!It’s pretty fun watching the little video stories! I usually don’t do reviews but thought I’d do this one…I only have a few things to say I wish was changed. I wish there was a way to finish reading the descriptions to the stories! I’ve tried clicking a few different ways to see if it allows them to finish the description but it doesn’t. And the other thing is I wish there were more fantasy stories! The have a few alpha (wolves) ones. I’d like more Fae and vampire stories as well as more alpha stories! Acting is tolerable…I’ve seen way worse in B movies from the 70s/80s 😂 I really love this and hope more people enjoy as well. I’m a broke woman so I don’t pay for anything, I just have to wait longer for ads to watch.GarnetrayneVersion: 1.7.2
The stories are great, BUUUUTI got this app not too long ago and have really been enjoying the stories. BUT, the thing that gets to me is the price of the episodes and the limited chances to earn more coins. The episodes are 45secs-1min long and can cost as much as 60 coins for an episode. You also can’t check to see how much the episodes cost before you start watching. You only see the amount once you’ve run out of coins and the app wants you to buy more. You do get the daily bonus of either 25 or 30 coins depending on the day you’re checking in, and there’s 6 chances to get an additional 25 coins each by watching the 6 ads/day. That comes out to about 3 episodes if they’re 50 coins each. And sometimes the ads are longer than the episodes. Again, the stories are great and i understand that they take money to film, but having to buy coins when you’re sucked into a show for a 45 sec episode is a bit much. I know the smaller packs aren’t unreasonably priced, but the amount of ads you get as you’re watching back to back is crazy, even with having coins available.
I think 20-25 coins per episode max across the board would be more reasonable considering that’s what you’d get from the opportunities to earn coins. 3 stars because i like the stories but am not made of money lol. At least let me see how much the episodes are before i get into it!!.🫠 🫠🫠Version: 1.8.7
Good Shows but Not Very UserfriendlyThe shows are good and some are awesome; however, the app isn’t very user-friendly. Some examples of why it isn’t very user-friendly are, 1-there isn’t a clear button to add a show to your personal list, 2-the episodes open without you selecting to open them so you can see how many coins is needed per episode nor are you alerted when your coins are being used, 3- you aren’t aware of when you’re running out of coins because you have no control of when a locked episode will unlock while watching and 4-the TT app gives you a view of 10 epis which is great for deciding if you want to watch it on the Short app, but on the app you are buying about 3 episodes that you have already been able to view which seems strange. You would think the app should start unlocking with the 11th episode instead of the 6th or 7th episode. Though I get it takes money to produce the episodes, there should be some awareness indicator or step in place so viewers know when coins are being used or when a locked episode needs to be unlocked to give viewers the choice to use their coins or sample other shows at their leisure.
The pros are the 1-voice-overs are good translations to English, 2- there are a lot of shows to select from to watch, 3-the prices for coin packages is reasonably inexpensive for the smaller packages..3kirstenVersion: 1.5.3
It’s good, BUTSo I really do like the app, but my problem is that when they give you bonus coins, they only give you enough to wear. There’s only two episodes that you could watch in certain ones on top of that. The ads are ridiculously long like some of the ads are longer than the episodes. I think they can fix that because there should be no reason to why there are ads longer than the episodes like I don’t want a 45 second episode and then a minute and a half add to watch the next 45 second episode to then lead to another really long ad. That’s kind of annoying. Everything is literally great now don’t get me wrong. Don’t expect for the acting to be the best because it is you know shorts and it’s not meant to be like really good actors and stuff like that but other than that, I really do like that app and I’m invested in most of the things so yeah.

Ads, Ads & 175 coinsGot suckered in with an ad on TikTok and it showed more of the show than what you saw in the app. I had to waste a few days of earned coins to get past what I watched. Every time you leave the app or on it for a few minutes, an ad pops up. Sometimes it restarts itself and “double rewards” doesn’t mean double. You get 175 coins daily that only cover 2 episodes since each episode is 80 coins. You get 5 extra episodes with an ed each but ads may freeze and you lose it or the show stops offering the extra 5. No incentives to earn more coins only discounts to pay for more like other apps or $20/week for unlimited. Very disappointing and frustrating, esp since there are similar apps that are not this ad infested. FYI, the storylines are the same and across apps they share scripts since I’ve seen some shows with different actors..Bonita LocaVersion: 1.9.6
Love the storiesBeen watching for about 6 months now. I would like the starting clip to be a little longer but that seems to be the run time on most dramas. 🤷🏽♀️. It seems they did fix the minor glitch of the ads freezing, but with this new update is a new twist to the ads I don’t like. I don’t like having to visit a website to earn the coins for a video. I know they are a few bonus coins for a little extra time, but it seems like the video time is almost the same. If they want you to visit a website you should get more video time. ( or is the same as it seems to me)
I love the app, but I’m disappointed I’m having to go to a website, I don’t mind the having extra ads instead.
I may delete the app after the soapbox I’m currently watching.
Disappointed fan 😔.JuligvkmVersion: 2.2.0
Bad acting, cute story line, Way too expensiveI enjoyed the story line. The acting was really horrible and over done. My biggest problem is they stay on the issues too long. The story I was watching the entire story line they were calling this one person a fake. She had already disclosed who she was we are getting to the end of the episode and we are still here. Move on Already!!! The really big problem is the coins or episodes are so expensive to watch. They only give you 5 episodes a day to watch free. I will finish this story line but will not continue to watch. Every it’s a cliff hanger and it takes to long to finish these short episodes because they want you to purchase money. Example I have 11 episodes left which will be a little over 5 minutes they want me to pay $9.99. That’s too much!!.Mare30032Version: 1.9.0
MaddieThis is my favorite app. I love the stories and get caught up in each one!! Sometimes it’s very hard to wait to watch another episode!! Thank you for investing in some of the best storytelling I’ve ever seen!! Your actors and actresses are so talented and should be on tv and in the movies!!! Even the people who work behind the scenes are amazing too. I can always tell when a story is going to be a ‘quality’ story…the costumes and jewelry and accessories set designs and directing and lighting and acting…everything comes together in the first couple of episodes. It grabs my attention and my heart and I am invested until the very end!!! I truly am inspired by what you are doing and will be here every day watch your storytelling magic continue!!!.MaddieBurkettVersion: 1.9.5
MISLEADING APP THAT STEALS YOUR MONEY!!This apps misleading. It’s reals you in & gets you into a story only to cut it off making it unable to be watched unless you purchase coins.
I bought the weekly subscription thinking I could finish watching the show that I’d started but that was false advertisement as well. It says that you can watch as many shows as you want with the subscription but clearly I missed something along the way bc I couldn’t watch anything.
Then I bought a coin pack so I could go watch some more of the show I had started & when I was trying to navigate my way back to that show the app started to play a different show & “Poof!!” My entire coin pack was gone within 5min & I hadn’t seen any of the show I’d ordered them for in the first place. It’s really irritating how short the clips are once there are enough coins to watch the next clip it’s literally no longer then a minute or two tops. Such a waste of time & money!!
Be warned don’t get into any shows on this app. Doesn’t allow you to put lower then 5stars. Won’t let you review go threw unless it’s 5stars
I’d rate this at minus 10starts
This APP STEALS YOUR MONEY!.JMarieGVeneziaVersion: 1.9.5
Better acting than most of the other short appsGood story line on the videos, and the acting is way better than in most of the other apps out there. I had to get rid of an app because all the acting was so terrible, cringy actually. This app has good rewards for watching ads if you don’t want to or can’t spend money, you get to watch 5 ads for a free chapter even after the first like 5 are already given. I like that there are check in rewards and you can double them each day. This is actually a good app give it a try! Prices for top up are actually really good too if you don’t mind paying 🥰.Ldelgarito1209Version: 1.9.19
It’s great, til it’s not!You start to get involved and then they cut it off and start to charge you. You can watch adds for episodes but the ads are twice as long as the episodes. Then they start the episode halfway back at the beginning so unless you’re willing to pay, you can’t ever finish a story. I have gotten so involved in a storyline before that I get annoyed with the watching ads and free coins because the story doesn’t ever progress, that I just quit watching completely. I would pay if I could but I simply can’t afford it. It would help if they found a way to meet those of us trying to watch in the middle.. other than that, some of the actors are good, some are not so muc.. the storylines are great.. I try to enjoy the 30 second episodes...PaulaJHardisonVersion: 1.9.12
I likeI like this site very entertaining but also extremely expensive for someone on a budget so I have to check in to build up points but I hate not being able to at least get through a couple of chapters or scenes before I have to pay for another. I don’t like the fact that when you first start on the preview it starts at the beginning and ask you if you want to continue subscribe and when you subscribe it makes you pay for the scenes you’ve already watched so you just wasted time and money and now you’re out of points and have to wait until you get them up again it’s exhausting I’m considering cutting my loss and deleting the app altogether once I’m done with the one I’m on. Don’t get me wrong it’s very entertaining and leave you wanting more but it’s just not for me..Ms.SyntVersion: 1.9.0
Great app but a few flawsI live this app and the short movies. I don’t mind subscribing and paying some money to unlock multiple episodes without ads but my one complaint is some movies are incomplete and the episodes aren’t there. For example, in looking at a short that is supposed to be 61 episodes but it only goes to 35. I found this out through tapping my list. Where are the remaining episodes when will they be released. It’s frustrating not to be able to see the completed movie when it’s getting good. The other complaint I have is why do we have to pay for episodes if you’re a subscriber. Shouldn’t you be able to have them all unlocked if you’re a subscriber..Britt_1984Version: 2.0.15
Kind of scammyLook, i fell for it and have definitely paid for the weekly subscriptions. they used to work in the beginning & ShortMax has a lot of the other shorts on here from other apps, titled differently and i love that! however these past few times ive tried to make purchases for said weekly subscriptions, ShortMax has refused to unlock them! Literally just had to dispute a charge of over $50 because i tried getting the weekly subscription & it refused to unlock the episodes even though it said they were??? definitely something that needs to be FIXED ASAP. i’m not one to leave reviews but lord 🤣. otherwise all the little dramas on here are really good & i find myself extremely attached to watching these throughout the day!.Loldeez69996Version: 2.0.9
Y’all need to stop acting like some gold diggersSo thanks to y’all putting yall ads on TikTok. I’ve been so obsessed but paying coins is stupid. You might as well just do a monthly plan or something and so like some are free and some you have to pay monthly like I will pay monthly and you probably will get more money compared to using coins for a one minute video like come on stop being spent that everybody has money like that.
Because like everybody that sees ads wants watch it but y’all decided to be a bunch of gold diggers and put a bunch of coins that you know dang well nobody wants to pay 50 bucks just to watch all 91 episodes.YurixxxizVersion: 1.7.1
Absolutely love all the Drama MoviesPlease take my request to better our experience watching these amazing movies by having a filter where it can separate the movies we had already watched from the new movies that we had just watched and have a separate filter for non English movies which are amazing movies too I only understand English and have to read the subtitles on all the other movies with a different language which I am fine with but I have to be in the mood for it so please keep up the great work you do and I will say it again I absolutely love your amazing movies and dramas Thank You.Mary40962Version: 2.0.17
ShortTV reviewI think it is very entertaining and has a lot of different things you can watch, the only thing I don’t like is that you have to watch an add to keep watching things unless you pay money and I feel that nobody really wants to spend money on a app just to watch a short story. You can watch up to 5 adds everyday and you can continue to watch your story but I feel that gets annoying sometime because it leaves you on a cliff hanger sometimes, but it give you something to look forward to every day. So I recommend if you want a short story to get interested in, but you do have to watch some ads or pay to continue to watch your story..Anastatia_1Version: 1.7.1
Bad purchaseI’ve used this app before and I enjoyed the short movies that they provide the thing that got me so upset with the app is I purchased the unlimited pro and it is not working properly I cannot watch one movie all the way through without it asking me to purchase more coins there’s no one you can contact they will not give me a refund and I can’t even watch all of the show after purchasing your 1999 Pro unlimited for this reason I’m very upset and I would not recommend anyone to spend their money Unless they have someone you can contact or a way to report it. This is my reason for never wanting to use this app again..4567976Version: 2.0.15
A few flawsI’ll give it five stars just it’s good however a few particulars they should be aware of and fix like the rewards system it takes away from win plays from the previous stop point i have noticed this four times now if they could fix that and the cost be lower would nice cause the rewards take forever and while i could purchase coins i wont do that again the cost is too high and pay out for the coins doesn’t match per dollar spent PS Developers you cane with a nice app the things i listed above just some added opinions to make more people come to the app.Pesto81Version: 1.9.0
Loving the short filmsI’m enjoying the short films from the app, but I do feel that the coins should be able to unlock at least three episodes before going to the ads. Also, some of the episodes are extremely shorter than others. I would also like to recommend some more Japanese film that are dubbed in other languages because the English captions are somewhat hard to read because of how fast the person is talking. Looking forward to seeing more shows and other ways to unlock future episodes by other ways..Newbie 1980Version: 2.0.13
Horrible!!! Do NOT get this appI was using this app for a long time never had an issue I bought coins a few times and all of a sudden two months after I made a purchase they try charging me almost 20 dollars for nothing! I refuse to pay for something I didn’t purchase so my phone got locked and when I emailed them to tell them about it they have done absolutely nothing!!! It has been over a month since I’ve tried contacting them and my phone is still locked from doing app updates or even downloading new apps!.Union jzjzkVersion: 2.0.5

ShortMax - Watch Dramas & Show Negative Reviews
Ads everywhereNever have I been hit with so many ads in my life. You want to open the app? Here’s an ad. Want to open a show? Here’s an ad. Want to go to the next episode? Ad. Don’t have the funds to watch the next episode? THREE ADS stacked on top of one another unskipable. Want to back out to the main menu? Ad. Got sent a message and you went away from the app? Ad. Just stupid ads everywhere anything you do will prompt a pop up and a ad. ANYTHING. I went to my settings and was given an ad for opening the settings. THE SETTINGS! You don’t get unlimited ads for the shows either there’s a daily limit and then you have to wait for the clock to reset to be able to view more ads that half the time are longer then the shows.
Not to mention the price if you want to PAY to watch shows. $20 a week $40 a month or just a cheap $200 a year!! That’s more then I spend for 4K Netflix for my household. And don’t get me started on coins. They’re a scam. The episodes for these shows are 50-80 coins and range from 1-4 minute of play time. And it’s $10 for 1000 coins. That wouldn’t even get me through 1/6th of one show. App is a waste of time do not recommend..Zombiesniper15Version: 1.9.6
Not worth it in my opinionI recently started watching a series on Facebook and was enjoying it enough to want to see the main character get her revenge, despite the mediocre acting. So, I decided to download the app to continue watching. However, I quickly realized that the app stops the story after chapter 10 and requires payment to access the remaining chapters, starting from chapter 6. The cost of 80 coins per chapter seemed quite steep to me, especially considering the high price of the coins themselves. While the app does offer an option to watch ads to earn coins, the requirement of watching 5 ads for just one chapter seemed excessive, with each ad being around 30 seconds long.
The good thing, though, is that when you first sign up, they do give you a good amount of coins for completing tasks with your profile. I believe I got around 300 coins, but it still did not get me to where the ad left off. In my opinion, it didn't seem worth it, but I would suggest giving it a try if you're interested. I just wanted to share my experience and opinion on this.🤷♀️.NessearVersion: 1.8.9
RipoffFirst of all, I saw this on Facebook and wanted to see the end of the story. I decided to get the app and pay $9.99 but it only got me through less than half the story which I’d already seen before. It asked me for more money to see the rest. I’m so aggravated. I wasted $10 to see what I’d already seen and couldn’t see the rest of the story. By the time you’re done paying for a story, it costs more than a theater film. Also, when I first opened the app, the first thing that came up was a sign in which I realized afterwards was not even for them. It was an ad for some other site. now I can’t even cancel it. It’s going to charge me $40 in three days and I can’t find any place to cancel it. This whole app is a scam. Don’t waste your money and I’m still trying to figure out how to cancel the other site I accidentally signed up for thinking it’s theirs since it was the first thing that popped up when I opened the app. There’s no way to contact their customer service and they didn’t send an email welcoming me like they said they would. This is completely irritating. 😠.SosoliVersion: 1.8.9
The coins situation is insaneYou’re telling me if I end up using all my coins I won’t be able to watch another 10 seconds episode for a week or two. Like what is that? No one seems the mention the terrible acting which honestly is fine the stories are still cute but the fact that we can’t even watch 2 episodes without spending all our coins. Makes you lose all interest in the story. I don’t know how people are getting by with this it’s actually annoying. So you can’t enjoy the app unless you spend real money. Because you guys wanna make the price of the episodes 82 coins. Like not even 10 or 15 which is more reasonable but 82 then have the nerve to say $10 for 1000 coins when in reality that’s about 10-12 episodes outta a 90 episode story which like I said would be worth it if the episodes weren’t 5-10 secs long. I don’t i guess others like this app but honestly I’d rather stick with “episode” it’s a kiddy app but at least it’s more reasonable than this.Itsme_diaababy84Version: 1.7.2
I’d love to give it more stars BUTI like your stories I think they’re intriguing despite how bad the acting is however, I will not get over your price point of $20 a week to have a subscription or $200 a year. I’m not gonna pay that for bad acting like Netflix is cheaper than you are and they have really good quality content. Your stories are interesting but they’re all pretty cliché at that. I feel like I could just hop on WEBTOON or Wattpad and get the same exact effect but for free stories and actually I think they make them intriguing but $20 a week A WEEK!??!?!? Girl that’s $80 a month what crack are you smoking to think that anyone’s gonna pay that for the quality of your content that you’re streaming not even to mention your ads oh my goodness how long your ads are that’s crazy y’all are crazy for this. I recommend waking up and coming back to reality and realizing the economy we live in if you ever wanna actually make money on your platform because I’d love to use it, but I’m not going to get scammed by you..DyylllnVersion: 1.9.3
Entertaining but needs to be betterReiterating what a lot of the lower ratings for the app state. The ads are ridiculous. There are far too many and they are twice as long or longer than the “episodes” and you’re limited to 5 a day for freebies. Then you have to pay to top up coins and while it’s an okay price for some, for others it’s really expensive. There needs to be a monthly plan or something for ad free watching. It’s far too frustrating with the ads taking twice the time to watch and the repetitive freezing from AI app ads. There are no controls and the only way to reset it once frozen is exiting the app entirely in which case you’ll be forced to watch yet another ad or it will repeat the last episode and charge you coins for something you already paid for. There is no view for how many coins each episode is costing you and the auto play for the next episode without knowing is pretty annoying..Ransdell49Version: 1.8.5
Don’t fall for it.I paid $9.99 for 1500 coins and watched three 30 second episodes and was out of coins. I won’t fall for that again. You can keep your ridiculous app. I can see a first run movie at the cinema for less than the minute and a half I got to watch on this lousy app. I can’t believe I fell for this money trap. I’m warning YOU not to make the same huge mistake!!!!
Update: I requested a refund from Apple and I got it! The app did remove my coins so I was in the negative. I can watch the ads to get back to a positive balance (I’m on my 3rd day). So I can see the end of this stupid shirt. Also, read the reviews of the app they advertise. Those reviews are awful too.
Secret to watching the ads… watch all the way through until you see DONE. Press done. Wait for the >> or the X. It you don’t get an X, press the >> watch or play until the X appears. Then you can get your coins. The solitaire apps have really poor reviews. Just be careful..KristiLVersion: 1.9.8
3-4 minute ad to see a 1 minute episode.Every episode is 1 minute long and costs 25 coins. They give you 30 coins per day. You can watch a 4 minute ad to get 25 extra coins. But even if you accumulate coins to watch a few episodes in a row, you still have to watch 3 minute ads between each 1 minute episode.
It doesn’t let you skip episodes or start in the middle of the series. Even if you’ve seen the first half of the series, you have to start at the beginning and waste your coins on episodes that you’ve already seen. So, if they caught your attention on Instagram, you will have to start that show at the very beginning and you won’t have enough coins to get to the spot that it cut off at on IG.
I’m ok with watching ads to use an app for free, but these ads are way too long for such short episodes. You should either make them worth triple the coins or triple the length of time of the episodes or something….RDGSRVersion: 1.9.8
Robbed MeI bought a top up for 1445 coins I was watching a story I was on episode 24 when it was time to switch to 25 it asked me to unlock the previous episode, which makes no sense since I was already watching episode 24 so that would make it unlocked when I looked at the calendar of episodes all the episodes were locked back to see if it was just a fluke as it scrolled through the episodes it took all my money for a second time I will not be buying another top up only for this scam of an app to take it again I enjoy watching the stories, but I do not enjoy being financially taking advantage of this is something that needs fixed. There is obviously a glitch in the app.
I would appreciate it If you can help me recover my coins so I can finish the story I was watching however, if not, no love lost I will just uninstall the app and move on with my life and watch drama box or one of the other apps..Mrs. Turner 😘Version: 1.7.2
Mixed feelingsAds on Facebook reels gives you so much more than it’s worth to download the app. They have more than half the show on Facebook reels. You can’t select where you want to start watching, so if you want to start where Facebook ended- you can’t. Expect the ads you watch to be longer than the episode you just watched. I no longer get to watch an ad to see the next episode, I can only watch videos to earn coins- 25 coins per video. 80 coins per episode. 6 videos per day for earning coins. (Daily earnings total 150, with a bonus of 10 coins if all videos are watched so you can see your videos) I think after a couple days I was no longer able to watch the 5 videos to go to next episode almost since the beginning. Yes, there’s two ways to watch shows, but as I said before, I only have access to one of them..Would buy to startVersion: 1.9.0
Here’s my thoughts 👇🏼The app is great. The videos are great and entertaining BUT it’s too expensive. $20 for a week to have ad free is too much. Not even Netflix or other streaming services does week cost this expensive. They do it MONTHLY. That’s like $80 a month for this app if you were to do a week subscription. At least let it be $20 a month. The expense on this app will drive people away. Credits are too expensive to only get a little bit. The subtitles are off as well. The videos are too short which makes your credits go by fast. At least 3-5 minutes would be great. And once you run outta adds and credits, there’s no other way to get free coins unless you purchase or check in daily which the daily check in doesn’t give that much.
My opinion, the videos are entertaining. App is cool but it’s too expensive. They need to do better..Nani PerkinsVersion: 1.9.5
Ads, ads, and more adsWow, where to begin? So you want to watch a series. Great. Enjoy the first handful of minute long episodes. Then it’s either pay as you go or you sit through a minute long ad between each minute of the show… watched a preview on TikTok and want to see where you left off? That’s great, you have to watch everything leading up to it which means sitting through probably half an hour of ads. The ap is insanely user hostile and don’t even get me started on the pricing. $20 for a week? But $200 for a year? In BOTH instances it’s not worth it. The quality is garbage and the acting is abhorrent. It’s like Temu level acting. Save yourself some time and watch something on a much more reasonably priced platform that actually hires good actors and writers that doesn’t ask for $20 a week or make you sit through more ads than the actual show…. Money hungry ap with nothing of quality to show for it….OG TjTVersion: 1.9.10
“Pro” subscriptions don’t workGot the weekly pro subscription and it didn’t unlock anything. You’re supposed to be able to watch all episodes. When I tried it again, it said I already got the subscription. Still episodes wouldn’t play, unless I bought coins. I tried restarting the app, then refreshing purchase. It said purchase confirmed. I tried signing out and restarting the app, and then signing back in, and refreshing purchase. Again confirmed the purchase. I tried signing out and deleting the app and reinstalling. Each time it said I had the weekly pro subscription. I tried everything I could think of to fix the issue and NOTHING worked. I emailed Short Max, I got a standard reply email that they would get back to me within 7 to 10 days. I have a weekly pro subscription, how is getting back to me in 7 to 10 days considered good customer service?! Do better!.Erinmystic1983Version: 1.9.9
Pointless coins and appFor a second there I was liking this and they give you free coin bonuses, but only a certain amount, I was watching the billionaire heiress, got up to episode 17 using the free coins. I was going to watch a new episode the next day because I ran out of coins, well I noticed the ones I already watched were locked again and so it was making me use my free coins to unlock those episodes again. So those free coins are pointless because you can only unlock a couple episodes without buying more and the fact that you come back the next day and have to unlock the same episodes that you watched already is a waste. I do not recommend unless you plan on spending a lot of money and if you don’t watch the episodes that day, you waste your coins and money because you have to unlock them again. I deleted the app and will not download this ever again..SchkimboVersion: 1.9.6
Overpriced for no good reasonInteresting stories, but to be able to watch one 75 episode story (which is literally just a regular movie if put together all the 1 min clips), I spent over $43. I know, it’s on Me, I got hooked and CHOSE to spend the money instead of watching all the ads or waiting for forever. But that’s just ridiculous and completely overpriced.
Wish there was a subscription option instead. I might have continued seeing what else is on the app, but as it stands right now, I will not be using the app and exploring what else They might have.
And on top of this, the fact that You can’t just skip the episode and have to “unlock” them in order is absurd. In their ads, they already tell You a huge chunk of what happens, get You interested, and then You still have to watch the episodes in order?
There is no way I’d normally pay $40+ for any movie, but I also didn’t realize how much They truly charge until way later. The coins system doesn’t make sense for the type of content they provide.
Giving 2 stars ONLY because they actually got Me this invested in something enough for Me to have to finish the story, but realistically I’d give it a one star for the app itself..Hate bugzzzVersion: 1.9.8
ScamThe prices on this app are absurd. To unlock one show in its entirety is 50 bucks. I recently bought 3 4D tickets to the new alien movie and it was cheaper than one show on this app. The only “free” options it gives you are a max of 5 ads you can watch for one episode per ad. That’s before accounting for the fact that each “episode” is like a minute long.
Not only that, the shows are of such low quality. Bad acting, bad editing, even worse camerawork. It felt like watching theatre kids rehearsing their first stage show. I doubt there were any directors to these shows to make them even half decent. Honestly the only decent thing was the sound quality.
I’d rather rewatch the Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie on repeat for 24 hours straight than ever download this app again. Trash app designed only to get you to spend money on coins..FGC VampiricHyrulianVersion: 1.9.0
A little disappointedThe stories are good but it's disappointing that it's so expensive on top of that you pay for the coins to open up the stories and then after watching the stories they lock back up. If we pay for the coins and unlocked the stories they should remain unlocked and we should be able to watch them as many times as we like. Why are we paying so much and they don't stay unlocked? That ripping customers off. It's a shame I've spend so much money only to watch the story once. That's wrong and should be reimbursed. If I would have known I would have never paid so much. I'm very disappointed and I would recommend not purchasing and just continue to get free coins even though it take a while to build up enough to unlock. Waste of money..Plumplum18Version: 1.9.0
Ads are ridiculously longSo I started watching this on Facebook, which I’m sure is where most people find out about this! So you download the app and there’s like 10 episodes to get to where you left off. They make you watch these ads that are like three times as long as the episode you get . But you can only watch so many a day so you can’t even get to where you left off on Facebook the same day.! I would have paid for coins to finish the series had it just had the episodes open already that we watched on Facebook. I feel like $20 a week is expensive! I probably would have bought $20 a month and been happy. Or paid $20 to just finish the one I started. But I was so frustrated with the length of ads verse the length of time for the Clips and trying to just get to where I left off that I gave up ..📘🪱Version: 1.9.0
Okay BUTTTI usually don’t write reviews but, i recently got this app because i saw an ad on instagram, and i was obviously enjoying it until i realized that i had to BUY COINS which i don’t like.. 1. it’s very pricey to purchase coins, 2. the episode prices are EXPENSIVE. The one i’m currently reading is 80 coins!! 3.LONG ADS, it’s really annoying given the fact that the ads are MUCH longer than the actual episodes themselves.. which i don’t like. 4.the episodes are ridiculously short. the one i was watching was about 30-40 seconds long and it’s ridiculous given once again that the ads themselves are a minute and 20 seconds long. this is app is okay, the stories are really interesting and entertaining, but i really dislike how pricey they are, the ads,etc. do better please.IdftfuchvvugyVersion: 1.9.6
DisappointedWhen I started this app i enjoyed the shorts.. then they pretty much did the say story over and over again just with different people..then I decided to pay for the pro weekly which opens all episodes.. my issue is majority of them aren’t finished and just end with no completion..I thought well maybe new episodes come out like once a week like regular series kinda of thing..so I decided to pay for another weekly pro and nothing has changed..also its very limited on what things to watch..idk if I’m not doing something right but of course there is no way to contact someone..I’ve left 3 messages on the Facebook group and they are still pending..now to write this review I have to come up with a nickname and every single one is taken uugghhh.RidiculousmonsterVersion: 1.9.7
Super whack and way too expensiveThe stories do get you into them but the business plan of this company kills it for you. I wanted to finish a show we started watching on face book, and we never got as far as we saw on facebook with out stupid ads longer than what they call an episode, 1 minute or less segments, with 90 seconds of commercials. The story was kinda cute but not worth $60 to watch 75, 1 minute “episodes” (worth maybe $10). Apple should not have approved this app. It’s trash. User unfriendly gouging. I’m erasing now and will never get drawn into a story I can’t finish when there is far better stuff much more reasonably priced, who ever came up with their plan was not considerate of customer enjoyment before they inflict gouging profits.

Stories Great, Ads Require physical iPad restart, no enjoyableThere are too many ads. You get to view 5 episodes daily; however you are required to view one ad before the episode and one ad after the episode. In addition, when you change stories, you must view an addition Al after the story and one before the next story. You spend more time watching the same ads over and over again than you open actually viewing an episode. All to often the ads will not terminate and will freeze the application. The only way to unfreeze the application is to turn my device off and then on to restart my device and the app. This process is too time consuming, annoying and caused by many of the ads used by the app. This is not an enjoyable viewing experience..IDragonLadyJaneVersion: 1.8.5
Pointless AppThey only allow you to watch 5 ads a day for free episodes. Half the time if you find a new one to watch off of instagram those 5 ads don’t even catch you up to where the ad left off. You also end up watching 10 ads because every other episode there’s an ad that plays before you even get to the top up part. They just want your money and weekly passes are $15, Monthly $40, and I didn’t even look at the yearly but I bet it’s probably like $120 at least. Also the further you get into the story the more points you have to use to unlock and they can be like 500 points. It’s ridiculous. Not an app for your everyday person; you have to be as rich as the people in their stories and be able to throw money at stupid stuff to watch anything..Emmarb03Version: 1.9.6
Don’t waste your timeThe acting is terrible but I was intrigued by the story so I watched the clip then it ended before the story finished and prompted me to download the app to see the rest. I downloaded the app but it put me all the way back to the beginning of the story and in order to proceed I had to unlock pieces of the story I’d already seen by either paying or watching ads….. I wasn’t opposed to watching ads however there is a limit to how many you can watch so even if I watched all the ads available I wouldn’t have been able to even unlock far enough to get to where I left off… so stupid. If I wanted to unlock all the previous sections of the story that I had already seen to get to where I left off I’d have to pay $20?!!…not happening immediately deleted this scam of an app..PanjgawatxVersion: 1.9.0
That’s crazy for C movie acting in shortsThea crazy seen it in an ad and thought it couldn’t hurt seeing how the story I seen in an ad ended they want $20 a week or you can fall for coin marketing you guys need way better content for me to pay that kind of money on something where the acting and story plot is cheesy and not even that good if you like soap operas like old women you’ll love it I just watched line 10 minutes of a story for free in an ad and then find out that the actual app is a weird ploy to make you feel like you can pay the $20 a week or do some coin earning then by the time you scroll to the point the ad on another app left off they want you to pay for it that’s weird you get the same acting level as content creators with a low budget these are just more polished.MosamosataVersion: 1.8.9
DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!Storylines are cute but not worth the money. For some reason it just keep jumping between episodes 16/17. There is no way to report a problem. You would think with so many negative reviews, customer service would a least reply to one for the issues and they don’t. That shows me whoever created this app doesn’t care about the viewer, just the money they can get. You would think they’d have some integration with facebook where after someone has already seen over 19 episodes on Facebook you would start with the next one once you download the app instead of having to rewatch all the episodes you already viewed to have to then pay to keep moving forward for those same episodes. I’m not about to waste my time or my money. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP!.Tashalhg08Version: 1.9.5
So I did like the intro…So they hooked me (like a lot of folks) through FB, and I watched a bit on there. Decided to download the app and continue. Had to rewatch everything, only now it was all in episodes. Okay, got back to where I left off and then some. Got a few days of watching ads to unlock episodes, and now apparently that’s done as well. Having to watch ads for 70 seconds to then watch 30 seconds of an episode is just stupid. I know they have to make some money to make these series, but the money grubbing is outrageous and episodes are so chopped up. THAT’S what’s making me not want to shell out money. And don’t get on me for complaining about free stuff; there are better business models out there they could follow..LadyStormDancerVersion: 1.9.3
Scam don’t waste the money!I downloaded this after watching the long Facebook version, the button ask if you want to CONTINUE! I purchased the deal of coins for 1.99 I got 400 and linking my Facebook got 100 coins. Tell me why they start the story from the beginning and as you try to get back to where you left off they use all the coins! Then I used the option to watch five ads and still couldn’t get back to where I left off on Facebook so I’m now out of 1.99 and my time. This is a scam I don’t recommend this app! They are making money keeping ppl on ads on fb for a longtime then bring you to the app and making me pay for what I already saw. Gave 2 stars because the story was enough to draw me to the scam!._always_cakinVersion: 1.8.9
Ads running without giving a bonus and overall benefitI had this app and deleted it because you just don’t get enough free episodes or offers that will make you even consider buying coins. Ads tend to run on their own when first opening the app, after switching to another story or when you are just clicking to the club screen. There’s no benefit for us just more Ad payments to the app. I log out and back in to skip the Ad with no benefit. Also most of the ads start at 89 seconds, then goes to 15 seconds and then 5 seconds which is ridiculous!!! I’ve searched other apps that I use which are more user friendly and fair and found the same story. Therefore once I finish the one I’m currently watching I will delete this app again..AjazzydivaVersion: 1.9.12
Don’t do itWorst app I have ever downloaded. The storyline is dragged out so much it becomes annoying to watch. I actually wanted to just skip to the end but you can’t you have to purchase every single episode. it’s 50 coins to watch each episode and There’s 75 episodes. 1000 coins is $20. so they wanted you to pay over $40 to watch this crap. Yes one ad that you watch equals 50 coins but I rather not watch 75 ads to complete the story. Sorry not sorry. I pay less than that to watch a movie that was just in theaters a week ago.. This is absolutely, laughable. Let’s not even talk about the fact that each story takes forever to load and sometimes the app even freezes causing you to close the app and reopen it in order to watch finish watching one episode..Cry530Version: 1.5.3
Money gone too quickI recently downloaded this app because it seemed like a fun way to enjoy stories. But I realized you needed coins to continue so I bought some but I would only make it through about 4 or 5 “episodes” before I would need to add more coins and they were not cheap. So I reached out to customer service because I was not satisfied with having to spend $20 every time I wanted to watch a few “episodes” and they told me that because “I already paid I would not get a refund for not being satisfied”. I normally do not leave reviews but this is bad customer service. A customer is not satisfied with your product and they do not even try to make it better. They just tell me they have my money now and there is nothing they can do..Baking_queen1Version: 1.7.1
Too expensiveFirst of all, I saw this on Facebook and wanted to see the end of the story. I decided to get the app and pay $9.99 but it only got me through less than half the story which l'd already seen before. It asked me for more money to see the rest. I'm so aggravated. I wasted $10 to see what l'd already seen and couldn't see the rest of the story. By the time you're done paying for a story, it costs more than a theater film. Also, when I first opened the app, the first thing that came up was a sign in which I realized afterwards was not even for them.
It was an ad for some other site. now I can't even cancel it. It's going to charge me $40 in three days and I can't find any place to cancel it. This whole app is a scam. Don't waste your money and time.Ibrahim comVersion: 1.9.10
What a rip… don’t waste your time or money.One series costs more than an entire season of a REAL, award winning show. Actors are amateurish & some of the segments are like 10 seconds long & there is overlap of the previous/next segment in every round. I watched ONE that I thought was interesting in the tease reel but I had to buy all the episodes I had already watched to figure out where I left off. Then the plot went NOWHERE for 50 episodes. It just kept dragging out the same idea with none of the plot points of a well written script (there’s an actual formula for screenwriting), the episodes kept getting shorter as the end neared & the it just ended. It wasn’t a cliff hanger, it was just a let down that I had to wasted so much time to get to the end & be like “who even cares?”.Upset User 1313Version: 1.8.5
Insanely ExpensiveSo far it’s cost me $26.00 to watch 28 episodes. There are a total of 189! They are only approximately one minute long. So it would cost well over $100 to watch one complete movie. Terrible dubbing to English as well. I just don’t understand how people are willing to pay this outrageous amount. Even if I was a billionaire, on principle alone I would never pay this. I feel stupid enough being suckered into purchasing 16 episodes, which I thought would take me to the end as the total number of episodes is not obvious unless you really look. Also, no weekly or monthly version, just the opportunity to pay $129.99, and it’s unclear what exactly that would buy you.
I could take my entire family out to the cinema for a new feature with A list actors for less than the cost of one cheaply made movie on ShortTV.
Also, interesting to see that the creators/owners cannot be bothered to respond to comments. Likely too busy counting their money earned from unsuspecting customers.
Oh and one last thing, you may only watch up to five ads per day to unlock five episodes. You will spend about 10 minutes watching ads to unlock 5 minutes of content. Unbelievable!.Greenblonde74Version: 1.7.2
Money grab, low qualityThey charge 19.99 for 20 minutes of content. For that same price you could get a month unlimited subscription for Netflix or Disney, or go to the theater and get popcorn! Why would anyone pay for one movie more than 80$?????.K825w3374uVersion: 1.6.9

Total Rip OffIf I could rate -5***** I would this is absolutely horrendous!
They lead you in by playing 15 or so episodes then if you want more you have to download app. Then it says you get 100 coins as welcome bonus if u log in. Yet once u log in there’s no balance of coins at all. And although you e watched fifteen episodes in FB the app makes u start at beginning and gives u 5 free episodes you have already seen. Next u can watch ads to release up to five episodes. It takes approximately 10 min to watch these ads which entitles you to five one minute episodes and you are still 5 episodes away from where you left off on FB. Each episode is at least 80 coins $7 gets you 500 coins which is 6.25 episodes. This book is 75 episodes total so the remaining 65 episodes costs approximately $70. Absolutely ludicrous! I can go to the theatre watch a hit movie and go out for dinner for the cost of one book that’s not even 90 min long. Unfreakingbelieveable that this company gets away with this atrocious rip off of money for pathetic acting and poor quality sound!

Complete Rip OffI am writing to express my dissatisfaction with my recent experience regarding the subscription service. I watched the first 20 episodes of the series at no cost, but when I attempted to unlock the next set of episodes, I was prompted to pay $12.99.
Upon making this payment, I was only able to access 2 additional episodes. It appears that the fee I paid was applied to the initial 20 episodes that I had already viewed, rather than granting me access to episodes 21 through 40, as I had expected. This situation feels quite unjust, as I anticipated receiving a full set of new content for my payment.
I would appreciate it if you could clarify this issue. I would either like a refund or access to the next 20 episodes beyond the first 20 that I have already watched.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your prompt response.
I will be checking back quite frequently to ensure a response was made! Thanks again!.AnnieLillianVersion: 1.9.10
