ShortMax - Watch Dramas & Show Positive Reviews
Great variety & genres!ShortMax is by far one of my favorite drama providers to watch. However there are some small bug issues that need to be fixed. At times when renewing or purchasing my subscription, the service temporarily stops working. Even when I refresh / update / reinstall the app. This part is very frustrating. It’s happened twice now. Both times it took nearly a day worth of watch time from my seven day subscription. Which is a waste of money & another issue I had was when I tried to go onto the website & refresh the subscription, the website kept saying “cannot connect, please try again”. However apart from the very view minor bugs / issues with renewing the subscription/ processing payments (sometimes the payment doesn’t process until days after I’ve purchased & sometimes the payment is processed immediately) the quality and readily available genres are superb. This drama streaming service is top notch in my opinion. Bugs and any other issues can be worked out. There are always new releases coming out every day. I never run out of dramas to watch. This drama streaming service is absolutely worth the money you spend. You will always get new, fresh, quality, versatile, and an unlimited streaming supply of dramas to watch & it is worth every penny you spend on it..Aras.eyafVersion: 2.14.0
Actually decentSo, I decided to go with their monthly subscription. Yes it is extremely pricey for $40 but I figured that would give me enough time to explore and see what’s going on. I do like cheesy stories and cheesy movies and I have noticed that they have several different shows, different actors same storyline but it does however, give me the chance to see who the better actors are. They should have a voting score for the actors. but anyhow I just wish there was a selection where I can go through watch a preview and hit Add to my list. They do not offer that. I have to actually go into the story and then go out of it. I do not like that.. and for $40 a month it should let you be able to cast to your TV from the app. also, I’m not seeing a huge selection and I would like to see a lot more. Considering this does cost a lot more than Netflix but again I do understand that these actors do this for fun and they still need to pay some kind of production. But I am seeing a few of those shows that are on here are on other shorts apps. and if they’re all the same company that does these, then they should include all the ones from the other apps on this one. It’s too confusing to have so many different short apps. but overall, I’ll give this a five star because I hate commercials and the cheesy entertainment is kinda awesome but most likely will not stay on the subscription. I will have to cancel and go back whenever I feel like I want to watch it again because it’s not something that I’m going to want to binge watch every day. if it was like 10 bucks a month, I would totally keep a monthly subscription. again, like I said, I understand production cost, especially being low budget..Taconinja53Version: 1.9.6
RewardsIf you words are generous, thank you very much. I appreciate it however, I’m still struggling trying to get my account. I paid for one year subscription, but nobody seems understand. My old account is no longer available and I cannot get into it. You tell me I have to go into the old account to be able to receive my one your subscription however, again it’s been deleted is no longer available to me and my current account was registered to Google so that wouldn’t work cause I had to delete that account and instead a whole new one, but they don’t understand. That I did everything they asked me to do log out log back in and login to Facebook and then my old account would show up and have the subscription on it, but that didn’t happen. I did everything they told me to do. it did not happen, but nobody wants to fix it. Get pretty frustrated.Nana Jo 11Version: 2.17.0
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
Subscription cancellationDO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. Nothing but a scam. It is clearly stated in the app that you can unsubscribe from membership at any time with IOS through settings/subscriptions. This does not work and the "last resort" method of gathering loads of information for your "case" to request cancellation via email also does not work. They ignore all emails and do not reply to you. I will have to file a fraud report with my bank to get a refund and then I won't have a bank card for weeks. Truly a pathetic experience and I am not one to write reviews on anything. Thinking of just downloading this app to use the free version? Don't even bother you have to watch ads to view a clip that is shorter than the ad itself. Only reason i bought the subscription is to watch a series I thought i would enjoy but the ads for these "shorts" only show the "best" clips from the series and the rest of the content is clearly just thrown together to increase the length. DO NOT SPEND A DIME ON THIS APP AND DO NOT DOWNLOAD IT!!.Hunter_SpartaVersion: 2.17.0
READ BELOW!!!**ONLY Gave 5 stars for visibility.**
i subscribed via apple, however the subscription is not listed in my account the way it is supposed to be. So when i try to cancel it , I can’t. charge goes through apple wallet. there are no receipts, no history of transactions via apple, they charge your bank account directly. i have finally revoked the authorization but they are still charging me. I have been emailing them since April 18th, they request information (ID and Email) from me, I give it to them, and then they do not respond. Now i have disputed the transaction from my bank. They stopped any further transactions and refunded one, but Shortmax is still charging me! it is supposed to be a weekly subscription, yet charges are coming 3 days apart now. I have researched online, and several, several people are experiencing the same. DO NOT DOWNLOAD OR SUBSCRIBE!.Kheri.raineyVersion: 2.18.3
Hate the subscription and awful payment platformThis app keeps charging me for a membership and has worked around my apple account so the subscription isn’t through there. The website I can access through the app for them is just a page with no buttons or anything so I can’t cancel through their website either. There’s no option to cancel through the app. I ended up emailing the listed email under the subscription in the app and after a couple days someone finally got back to me and I had to fill out a form in order for them to cancel. THIS IS A HORRIBLE PAYMENT PLATFORM FOR A MASSIVELY OVERPRICED SERVICE. You should undeniably be able to cancel through the app itself that already has your account information. The content itself is good and the customer service albeit took a bit were good, but the circumventing around everything was super sketchy. Don’t recommend but they get 3 stars for decent content and good customer service once I actually talked to someone..SadiejeanneVersion: 2.17.0
Cancel IssueI only do that to be visible! Please don’t pay the subscription. The email provided bounce back. The Apple ID subscription won’t show, as if you did not pay subscription. The only proof you have is inside your history in your bank account. There is no way to reach the team. The app is own by someone who does not exist and I just hope they remove this app completely! Customer email is unreachable, and I try to go out my way to reach the team who created this app! Nothing! Apple, delete this! These app give no option to cancel subscription despite giving all instructions in the app. I review all 5 star reviews and I notice each review is not true and are bots! And I am trying to put my name here so I can give my mind!! But it wants me to give unnecessary nicknames! Apple look into this bc many customers try to report nothing..SxumuVersion: 2.17.0
New update has made it unwatchableShortMax has a lot of shows and has good promotions that make it a much better value than other similar apps. HOWEVER I have two grievances, one is there is no way to read the descriptions of the shows. You can see the descriptions exist when scrolling through all the videos but it is cut off, and when clicking on it, you can't read it and it goes straight to watching the video.
But my biggest grievance is after the new update it freezes and you have to restart the whole app every few minutes. It has always been glitchy when using the 1.5 speed function, once you release it, it goes back to where it was before you started watching it in 1.5 speed, but now it just freezes. It is not worth the frustration when I can watch similar shows on other platforms for free or watch through other competitors without the glitches and I get to read the descriptions before I decide on a show..LeesielexVersion: 2.10.0
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.

Good content, but is a robbery/tramp app (Read all)You use this for few day and you get immediately engaged with the content, so the offer you subscriptions (Really expensive, since are weekly instead monthly), and I accept one, so the app sends you to their website of subscriptions then you do the payments etc, but then is so hard to cancel, there’s not a setting or something in the app or even in the website to cancel the membership, so I contacted through email, and they immediately responded me asking for detail, so the only detail I had I give them in two screenshot about my profile and the email I received that I was charged, but is been a few days and I didn’t get a answer and got charged again… If you definitely want to pay weekly for this service and don’t cancel it, enjoy it, but this is a tramp with their content, (one more time is excellent, but not the service and the app membership) Not really recommended at all!.JonnyZSVersion: 2.15.0
Playlist and Player Needs WorkPros: Compared to similar apps, I appreciate that this app does have an option for an annual fee, that is relatively cheap compared to a weekly fee. I still think all of these type of apps charge an outrageous weekly sub fee, when you consider that many top brand streaming services are even cheaper for a full month, and A+ actors.
PIP works on this app, which is not true for all similar apps… meaning I can keep watching even while doing other things on my phone.
Cons: Compared to similar apps, the player is terrible. If the app crashes or even if you have it minimized for a long period of time, when you go back, it will lose where it was in an episode, or often not even show the ‘resume’ option, and you have to go into your history to find the movie you were watching.
Even more annoyingly, it seems to have a very short history instead of a full history of what you’ve watched entirely, so after several movies it keeps trying to force me back into watching movies I’ve already seen just days before — often the only way to get it to stop recommending it is to jump to the end of the last episode and make it think I watched it again. It’s quite annoying.
Also, despite the face that I chose this app specifically to watch one one of the Greek god movies (which is obviously AI) … there seems to be a lot of AI content starting to be added, and it’s horrible. I understand it for some really unique stories like Greek gods, or some crazy magic, etc — something they may not have a visual effects budget for otherwise … but then I saw they even had it for a normal orphan to riches story … I don’t support replacing real actors and actresses with AI.AzkettaVersion: 2.17.0
Great plays but…So I’ve had this app for some time and it has great dramas, but now the way they charge has changed. Instead of going through Apple you now have to go through a website and the instructions they tell to cancel through your Apple settings only to find out, that the subscription doesn’t even show up for you to cancel. Meaning they will continue to charge your account. I purchased a weekly subscription using my Apple Pay and I was supposed to receive my credits. Now they say to wait 30 min. Then it says it may have been applied to a guest account, or another account or you have to log-in. None of which works. I’m noticing more and more apps doing this. And they continue to charge with no way of actually canceling. This to me has now turned into a scam. Thankfully even if they try charge my Apple Cash they won’t be able to because I rarely use it..EmysE.Version: 2.17.0
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
Stories are great, subscription not so much!I had been enjoying this app to make purchases whenever a story intrigued me. I love the stories but it’s been two weeks now, where I have been wanting to cancel my subscription since I don’t have any stories I want to watch, and I can’t get a hold of anyone. I have followed their email instructions and of course, trying to cancel through my iPhone. However the subscription doesn’t even show but somehow they are still charging. I am highly disappointed and apparently I’m not the only one with these issues. I am highly disappointed and frustrated at this point because there is not customer service number to reach out to and emails do not get answered. Therefore I highly suggest not to even try any sort of trial. Such a shame because I truly wanted to come back but not I will not be doing so..Distinct24Version: 2.16.3

ShortMax - Watch Dramas & Show Negative Reviews
Subscription TrapAs many other people have stated before, the built in difficulty to unsubscribe is a trap. It’s the easiest thing in the world to add an unsubscribe feature in the app. But they don’t. They know it’s an issue and they made it that way by design. Instead, they have you go to the website to send a feedback email, which will then respond and send you another link to fill out a form (within a certain period of a time so if you take too long they can make you start over again and prolong the subscription period). It’s a Russian nesting doll of steps aimed at wearing down the resolve of people who want to cancel. Thankfully I didn’t think deleting my account was enough, and went through the shenanigans. Even after it all, I never received a confirmation that my subscription was cancelled so for good measure I screen shot all the emails and the forms, then cancelled my debit card and got a new one. Checkmate ShortMax Haha! They’ll probably respond to this post with: “We’re sincerely sorry for the inconvenience, please send us an email (to a completely different email than the feedback you’re supposed to use for unsubscribing - funny how that works, right?) so your case can be our top priority and earn your trust back” or something along those lines, but they know good and well that they don’t intend to help anything. They have no intention of making the unsubscribe function easier. I sympathize with those who get pulled into this trap and lose more than they expected..SavageBisonVersion: 2.17.0
Needs workUsually when i open the app, there's an ad and usually i can close out real quick and open it back up and then there is not anotherad. Now it's like they updated so much so that you can't open the app without watching the stupid ad. Not only do you have to spend days collecting daikys to have enough to watch at least 1 or 2 of the shirts because they make watching just one so expensive, you HAVE to open the app up to the stupid ads which are most likely too expensive to takeoff as well. O and if you miss your dailys by even 1 day, your coins to watch the shorts go way back down like you didn't just spend days collecting them. They even put a limit on how much you earn after a certain amount of coins collected. I think I'm just close to deleting the app all together. Not all of us have money to burn on this app especially when there are so many more apps like this people spend money on. Just not worth the stress and hassle anymore to remember to open up the app to an ad just to collect the daily coins that will be stolen back if you forget even 1 day of collecting the coins. I don't have time to even watch ads to collect coins especially when after watching a couple for free coins makes you wait a minute or more for the next ad to watch for coins. Not worth it. Don't wanna sit there longer than needed just to wait to watch the next ad for free coins..Abbykins93Version: 2.1.0
Complete rip offIt was great for about a week but then I ran out of shows to watch and wanted to cancel my subscription but it keeps charging me. I canceled the subscription on my account, emailed customer service to cancel the subscription twice, and even had to submit a claim to my bank but I keep getting charged $20 a week for this app I don’t even have downloaded anymore. This has been going on for three weeks now! In what world is paying $20 a week for shows a decent price? Especially when you don’t want to be paying anything! Don’t take the risk with this sketchy app. I’ve already been charged over $100 against my will and so far there is nothing that I can do about it except maybe canceling my card entirely and getting a new one but I would rather not have to resort to that. Don’t make the same dumb mistakes I did and don’t buy anything from this app.
Update: they commented on my review like they actually care that they’re robbing me and asked me to contact them but they are still not responding. It’s bad enough that I had to post a review on their app just to get a response but then they never followed through. It has become clear that they do not actually care at all. At this point I am going to have to get a completely new card at my bank to stop the charges every week when I had canceled my subscription over a month ago. Absolutely ridiculous..Lover of geometryVersion: 2.9.0
DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!! SCAM WARNING!!!I use to see ads for this on Tiktok all the time and one day, I finally decided to give in and watch one from beginning to end. Of course, in order for me to finish it though, I paid for a weekly pass which I had planned to cancel right after I finished the story I was watching. However, because I got so busy, I forgot to and another week went by but I told myself that it was ok and that I’ll just unsubscribe the week after and make the most out of the time I had left. When the day finally came for me to unsubscribe, I noticed there was no available option for me to do that within the app (which is a HORRIBLE DESIGN btw and was 100% intentional for this exact reason). I was instructed to go to the ‘App Store’ or my settings to unsubscribe and funny enough the subscription itself did not exist! I ended up subscribing again just to see if it would show up in my settings and the ‘App Store’ and this time it did, so I was able to cancel. I personally thought I successfully got the job done but unfortunately, despite my efforts that day, the only thing that did was give ShortMax extra money because till this day they are STILL taking money from my bank account!!!! I didn’t even notice until I had to double check something in my bank statements for something completely unrelated. SHORTMAX, you guys are THIEVES! DO NOT SUBSCRIBE!.Jxchi3Version: 2.12.1
Refuse to refundThey charge your card twice for a weekly subscription and then refuse to refund you. They claim you have to go thru the App Store yet the App Store offers no refund and says to contact ShortMax. Not only that but good luck canceling this because they won’t cancel your subscription either. They tell you to follow instructions to cancel in the App Store, however their app doesn’t appear as a purchase or a subscription so you are unable to cancel. I will report this to the bank as fraud.
RESPONSE FROM DEVELOPER IS INVALID: They said to email their feedback person. I have used that feedback option FOUR TIMES!!! As already mentioned, Cannot get a refund the company refuses, apple says it’s not eligible for a refund, and even worse yet it cannot be canceled. So they are continuing to charge even though I revoked payment authorization to them in writing. This is FRAUD. They want me to update the review to a FIVE STAR, not a chance until they refund me and cancel my subscription. I have already emailed with screenshots and proof multiple times. I even emailed the screenshots to the bank to prove that they are fraudulently charging me still and refusing to cancel the subscription. If I could through the App Store I would, however the subscription doesn’t exist there despite following the many identical instructions they provide without hearing your actual problem..Youguyssuck27Version: 2.9.0
Worst vertical drama app out thereI’ve tried several of these vertical drama apps. ReelShort is the best, DramaBox is ok, and ShortMax is awful. The content is ok (hence 2 stars instead of 1), but there are WAY too many ads and they’re all super long, sometimes 2x the length of the episode it unlocks. There’s even an ad you’re forced to watch every single time you open the app. And if for some reason you switch out of the app (e.g. to check a message), when you switch back to the app, you’re forced to watch an ad AGAIN just to get back to the video. I’ve also noticed that there’s sometimes an ad even just when switching tabs within the app itself.
I refuse to pay for a subscription on any of these apps because they’re charging 4x the price of Netflix for a tiny fraction of the content. So I just watch a little at a time and unlock videos by watching ads. However, as of today, ShortMax has removed the option to unlock 5 episodes by watching 5 ads (which was often 10 ads because ShortMax would have an ad pop-up at the end of an episode and then require you to watch ANOTHER ad to unlock the next episode). Now, the only option is to watch the bonus ads and checkin for a total of ~200 coins, which only allows you to watch maybe 2-3 episodes per day..DdltVersion: 2.0.25
DissappointedExtremely pathetic customer service, they dont have in app subscription cancellation option and also auto charge your card which seems like their smart way of not letting people cancel kn their in and the charge is to less to care for so they can just keel in charging your card with smaller transaction when you have no idea or you dont care about the charge yourself so they make their money. The email they have provided on their app is out of service, i had mailed 5-6 times in 2-3 days but hadnt gotten no response back infact everytime i had sent a mail, an automated email would pop up saying their email is out of service, i had made sure to cancel my subscription before my membership date ended and another cycle started so i wont be charged bit i couldnt cz of their pathetic options in the all and then i had to just block the merchant over my denit card after talking to my bank and in between i had found their another email where i mailed them and got a response back a week after i had blocked the transaction already. Also they have really few options for the dramas in the app as well so the purchase isnt worth it at all..Yo10293848Version: 2.17.0
BE CAREFUL THEY WILL STEAL MONEYEveryone, please be careful when paying for their VIP subscription or anything of the sort because not only is there not a simple and easy way to cancel through the app but even once you cancel through your apple subscriptions, they can still charge your card and they will attempt to keep your money and continue to charge your card. I asked for a refund and they basically told me that was not possible and even tried to tell me i had to use or go through paypal when i don’t even have the paypal app and i have never used their services. I even attached 3 receipts to clearly prove that my subscription was cancelled, i even DELETED the account once i was done with the app because it didn’t have many interesting shows and features and i was done for it. I only paid for the subscription to watch a few shows in peace. So please make sure you research other services before using this one and spending money because they WILL steal from you and make it difficult to get your money back. I also recommend just pursuing legal action because they DONT want to give your money back. They’re just leeches trying to feed off their users..Egypt.AnyéVersion: 2.9.0
SubscriptionThis app will let you subscribe and then will give you two different options as to had to unsubscribe but the one option doesn’t even work. The second option is to go through the app store but it doesn’t show up on the App Store. I wanted to cancel my subscription and I couldn’t. I thought that it wouldn’t renew unless I renewed it so now I’m short $20 and the app wants me to pay another $20 in order for it to show up in the app store so that I can cancel it which is crazy. There is also no way to cancel in app so I’m stuck paying $20 dollars every week. Because I can’t cancel it. I only bought it because I wanted to watch on series. Because you either have to watch more app then tv or pay for it so you can continue to watch the series which is why I bought it. But I can’t afford to continue to pay $20 every week for every. They payments don’t stop if you just simply cancel your account. I know this because I read the term and conditions which is why I felt comfortable paying for it because there was a way to cancel it but it doesn’t work. So just be careful because you will end up short on money and it is ridiculous..User152884)2&46293837473$:73Version: 2.11.1
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
App support doesn’t existI attempted to cancel my subscription, but the instructions provided for canceling through Apple do not match what actually appears in the app or in my account settings. The option they describe simply does not exist. When I emailed ShortMax for help, I only received an automated response and no real customer support. I messaged them a week ago about cancellation of the subscription and warned them I wanted it cancelled and they charged me again today, despite the email.
While the platform does offer a decent selection of content, that does not make up for how poorly they handle subscriptions and customer communication. Making it difficult or unclear for users to cancel a paid subscription is a serious issue and reflects very badly on the company.
Because of the lack of real support and the frustrating cancellation process, I cannot recommend this app to other consumers. A service that takes your money should at the very least provide clear cancellation options and responsive customer service, and this one fails at both..RarefatalityVersion: 2.17.0
Do not use this appI’m only seeing good reviews on this app, but do not believe it worst app ever. First week in my work after work if you don’t check your account regularly, you will see they charge you multiple times a week for it. Try to contact Apple. They have no contact information for this developer. They have an email which you send them an email and they never get back to you but they keep charging your account.. canceled the subscription but they keep charging your account just to let you know so do not use this one. It’s really bad not even Apple could help you get your money back which is the and they have this app in their App Store do not believe the hype. It is not good. It is the worst up in the world you’re going to lose money so far I’m losing what $40-$60 a week because I can’t get in contact with nobody to stop the payments or anything as usual Apple says we can’t help you. You have to contact the developer how there is not a phone number and then when you email them, they never respond to you. You will be losing money out of this. Do not use this this app at all..Lissett0220Version: 2.18.3
Save your money!This would be a great app, however, the Ai stories ALL end right in the middle of the story so you never know how it all ends, and if you delete your account it doesn’t end your membership and there’s no way to recover it after that, they just keep billing you weekly, and if that happens, you’re in bad luck because their customer service is the worst! All they do is send you a cancellation link that you MUST know the deleted account’s info for in order to cancel!!! I’ve reached out to them 3 times and it’s always the same answer! No additional help whatsoever! I’ve now been charged 4 times for an account i have no access to! Before I deleted the account, i went to cancel the subscription and guess what….there is no way to cancel it from the app! Go figure! So i stupidly thought deleting the account would solve the issue, how dumb of me! Now i have to call my credit card company to pursue action on these charges, thankfully i have email proof that i attempted to cancel and SHORTMAX customer service was not helping me!.Atarahjc7Version: 2.18.3
Everything will be good until it isn'tAt the beginning I didn't have any issue with them. And when I stopped my weekly subscription to do a free one, my account start showing that I have -1000 coins, on top of that, every ads that I will watch will put the credit as a bonus instead of the coins, so the -1000 will remain, which means that I can't watch locked episodes using the coins. On top of that, couple months after, 3 charges of $9.99 was taken out of my bank account while my ShortMax account is still showing that I don't have an active subscriptions and the series locked. And they are still trying to charge my account even now. I emailed them multiple times regarding this and no answer. There are a lot of people on line who reported this issue and warned people, but I didn't see it until it was too late. I only looked at the review here on the App Store and nobody talked about it. Those reviews here must have been people they allocated to give them a lot of good reviews. I'm still pushing to have this resolved but nobody is talking to me. It is very frustrating..ButterflyzluvVersion: 2.17.0
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
ScamDo not download this. It’s not worth. The moment you purchase anything you will not be able to cancel. They only have 1 email for communication, and they want you to provide a UserID with documentation of the purchase to cancel or get a refund. I couldn’t even get them to even reply. Any app connect to “Shortwave Innovations” is a scam.
UPDATE:
Not only do they not reply to your emails, everything within their app says to contact APPLE for a refund. As this DOES NOT show up as a regular subscription, they only appear within your APPLE PAY purchase history and because they do not show up as a charge labeled “Apple” you are not going to be able to get a refund from them. Your only step is to contact your bank and shut down your card and get your refund there.
Between the lies and blatant lack of acknowledgment in regards to ShortMax’s and Apple’s accountability within this situation is entirely unacceptable as they are both culpable to the “scam” as well as passing off the refund to be dealt with bank entities taking losses so a consumer can get the refund..VanessadD93Version: 2.16.3
SUBSCRIPTION CANCEL ISSUEBeware of this app. You’re not able to cancel your subscription with normal means. The app (does not) appear in your Apple setting under subscriptions. Once you pay for even a week subscription just to check it out you’re locked in every week you will then continue to pay them.
This apparently has been an issue for a lot of people for a long time now and you can’t find a real way to cancel through the app itself either. People online said they tried to email them to cancel the subscription but do not get back to them the best way for you is cancel is through your bank. To me and as any customer you shouldn’t have to go through this just to cancel an app subscription in general.
Honestly since this has been an issue for a while based on how old you can see the online comments of this same issue. I’m only (assuming) this app is purposely trying to take peoples money. Cause not everyone will or could fight for their refund after a certain amount of time and charges..AngiecastVersion: 2.17.0
Don’t pay for the subscriptionThe stories themselves are good if you like that kind of drama and fan fiction style of storytelling, but the problem is the subscription. When you sign up for the weekly pass, it takes you out of the app and into your browser to either use Apple Pay or your card details to subscribe. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR CARD DETAILS. I purposely used my Apple Cash with little funds because their payment methods looked shady and I didn’t trust it one bit. Their FAQ says you can cancel by going to your settings>subscriptions and cancel from there. Here’s the thing, you can’t. ShortsMax doesn’t come up in your subscriptions because they took you to a browser to pay, rather than doing it in the app. So now if you want to cancel the subscription or auto pay, you have to email them directly. I’m ok because they keep trying to charge my empty Apple Cash that will always decline. I emailed them and told them this so hopefully they get the message and stop trying to get money from me because they never will ☺️.Arimari14Version: 2.15.0
Beware when subscribing! Cannot contact customer support!I subscribed to the weekly membership and after not using it enough to make $20/week worth it I wanted to cancel. My subscription was not in my Apple subscriptions when I subscribed it popped up a browser window and I put in my card info and it was charging me through wherever that window came and disappeared to. I could not find any place to cancel my subscription. There’s no information or unsubscribe button in the app itself or online. I never received a confirmation email or any email receipts for weekly charges. After multiple emails and no responses I deleted my account hoping that would cancel it and no my card is continuing to be charged. I have no idea where my information is saved no customer support or emails or any indication of subscription not even an account anymore. According to my bank my only option is to cancel my card and get a new one all to stop one subscription. Never again will I subscribe to this app or even download it..RhcobraVersion: 2.9.0
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
Scam. Scam. ScamI am trying to unsubscribe. I go into my phone subscriptions and it’s not listed. I go into the app itself, and it only allows me to delete the account which I did, but I know that deleting it won’t necessarily guarantee that they won’t bill me again, so I emailed them directing requesting to cancel the emailed me back, asking for me to request cancellation or refund, give my user ID number, and give the email I used for the account. I provided all of that information more than once because I keep getting a generic email to provide that information. With the exception of one email saying that it is not the correct user ID number, so I screenshot it the number and again I got the generic email from them again. I will be reporting this app as fraud to Apple and to my bank they are not letting me cancel and I have a feeling I will. Next week, thankfully I have the email thread between myself and ShortMax TV showing improving that I did everything right and provided the information that they requested with screenshots.._Jp_84!Version: 2.18.3
Fraud appSo, I subscribed to this app two weeks ago with the discount on the website. There is NO way to cancel the subscription. I’ve gone through the entire app, there’s no manage subscription. I can’t even log in online. It just does an infinite loop of loading. My funds are limited, and I’ve been trying to cancel since I subscribed two weeks ago. I’m very frustrated, and upon googling this issue, I’ve found hundreds of other people who experienced the same thing. The only way I’ve found to cancel the subscription and get the money back, is to entirely cancel my debit card. I paid through Apple Pay, but my bank statements say the merchant has my information saved directly. This is an unacceptable way to run an app, and I plan to dispute the charges that I did not authorize due to being unable to cancel. I highly recommend not subscribing, paying for coins, or even supporting this app. Thank you for the read, and I hope I was able to help anyone who was considering subscribing to this money hungry app..Dyinglight525Version: 2.13.1
Worst app in the app store by farThe ads are longer than the content itself, i almost slipped into a coma while waiting for the ads to finish. they also promote step sibling relations which made my coronary artery disease got worse by the minute, if i could give this app 0 starts i would. the quality within the shows are bafflingly disastrously distasteful, ive been at a dennys restaurant better then these shows. The most heinous part about this is that the actors in the 1 hour ads you make people watch for your half baked, pseudo content had better acting skills than the ones we were forced to watch. i don’t know if you can control what ads people get, but i only received gambling ads. Is this app trying to get me back to my crippling gambling addiction ??? why where the men always 11feet tall and always partially nude ?? this app is recommended to 12 year olds. this is super strange, this app left a cold feeling in my bones… i think i need to go church tomorrow…. my pinkie toe could do better

Scam with fraudulent chargesGOOGLE HOW THIS APP HAS BEEN SCAMMING EVERYONE. This app is a complete scam and WILL make fraudulent charges on your card. After taking your initial payment, it has no option in-app to cancel any kind of subscription, and just has written instructions on how to cancel the subscription through Apple. However, the subscription that they initiate is not through the App Store - they will go and charge your credit card directly. There are no preauthorized payment arrangements or an active subscription that is allowing this to happen. They are simply taking your credit card information and charging it. The company refuses to respond despite being contacted multiple times - the only time they did respond, they claimed they could not ID my account even after I gave them all the necessary information. I’m reading online that people are having to cancel their entire cards just to get this app to stop charging them. This is an ABSOLUTE SCAM COMPANY. Do NOT pay for a subscription with them!!!.Jabla2268Version: 2.17.0
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
Not worth itI should have read reviews saying it’s difficult to cancel. All instructions to cancel are through the provider of you went through one but apparently even though I went through Apple it tied to my card only and I can’t get it canceled. Then tried by deleting the account because I figured can’t charge what’s not there. They have not had any difficulty charging my card since and I have tried to email without any real attempt at fixing this. If you read this before downloading I really would say it’s not worth the hassle.
Update- still getting apology emails weeks later that they have high volumes and will try to process as fast as possible. They tell you to follow up in an email every time but then can’t get to your emails. Save yourself the headache for those that read this. I’ve reached the point where I will be going to the bank to block any purchase from this app as it seems that will be the only way I save myself from this reoccurring charge..BkdubVersion: 2.17.0
Purchased subscription Received nothing. Couldn’t watch video’s because chapters were locked.Do not purchase a subscription. They bill more than they should. Then you do not get what you paid for. After purchasing a subscription i could not watch the videos because they did not unlock the chapters. I do not think they speak English or understand English. When trying to speak with their ultimately poor customer service., they listed several things to do. Most of which had nothing to do with fixing the issue. Still i took screenshots of their app with my user id #, listed my emails, phone number, provided screenshots of bank statements ad well as proof of subscription and yet they couldn’t figure it out. They then proceeded to ask for information that i already supplied both in email and screen shots. After trying to straighten this out for three days., ive come to the decision they are fraudulent. So i cancelled my subscription and filed a fraudulent report with my bank..KatrinaSB1971Version: 2.18.3
THEY WONT STOP CHARGING MEI am beyond disappointed and frustrated with this app. I am not normally the type to get on here and write reviews, but I feel I need to write this one. I canceled my subscription over a month ago. Since then, they have charged me SIX times. I have reached out to them twice. The first one was six days ago. I never got a response and I even got charged AGAIN!?!?!? I was hoping to settle this civilly but I now have no choice but to dispute the charges with my bank. When I was about to write this review I was reading through others, and I found another person who had the same issue as me where they kept getting charged after cancelling their subscription. The app developer responded with asking her to email them again them they will TRY to get back to them. Like WHAT?!?! And gave them instructions on how to send an email. Ummmm I believe they know how since they said they’ve reached out many times. So Shortmax, just refund me and stop charging me!! I know how to email y’all already..CChronicles333Version: 2.13.1
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
IMPOSSIBLE TO CANCEL!I tried cancelling my subscription immediately after subscribing bc I didn’t want it beyond the one week I paid for. The app says it will be listed under my Subscription tab in my settings under my Apple ID however it isn’t listed there so I can’t cancel it there. I then followed the instructions on this app and emailed them 3 separate times, each time with the attached information I was told they needed. All I’ve received is an automated email from them saying that they’d get back with me as soon as they could…nothing else. In the meantime, I’ve been charged AGAIN by this freaking company while waiting for them to reply to my emails! They’re scammers…they’re liars…and I will be reporting this app to the FTC and the US Attorney’s office, as well as cancelling the card that they keep charging as I have zero problems doing that. It’s a small price to pay to make sure they don’t steal any more of my money. DO NOT PURCHASE A SUBSCRIPTION TO THIS APP UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE CHARGED $20 EVERY WEEK FOREVER!.Ls9362Version: 2.17.0
Do NOT recommend!I have been trying for WEEKS to get my subscription cancelled while my cards are trying to be charged daily! I’ve emailed over and over to be told my email isn’t right or my profile ID isn’t right when I only have one. I get sent the same automatically generated email every time and I respond every time and nothing is done. I’m to the point where I am going to have to replace every card because they won’t stop trying to charge me and I’m getting no where with support. Do NOT recommend! I don’t know how it has such good reviews when all over online is having the same issue. They even say in their first email response that they’ve had such a high volume of refund and cancel request they just send a form, but if they say your forms not right you’re basically screwed. I’m not a person to leave reviews, but I am tired of trying to reach someone and getting ignored because I have sent all the information I have to be told it’s not right..Baby_cakes_28Version: 2.18.3
DO NOT SUBSCRIBE! SERIOUSLY!!!!I repeat… DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. I got drawn in by the many Facebook and Instagram ads. I’m sure like everyone else did and decided to give this app a try. I wish I would have read the reviews beforehand. Because man is it a scam! I subscribed and then immediately regret my choice. So I followed the steps to unsubscribe on the app that told me to go to my Apple subscriptions and unsubscribe. Well it didn’t exist in my Apple subscriptions, but I used my Apple account to subscribe.. make it make sense! So I tried emailing the support email with no response. Then a few days late I try again. Only an automated response. Then a few days later I emailed again…. No response. At this point I had been charge 4 times (weekly) and the fourth payment went up 5 dollars in price. I have no clue why! So I had to call my back and issue a stop payment and requested refunds through my bank for the other payments. This app is such a scam and totally not worth it! DO NOT SUBSCRIBBBEEEE!

SCAM!!! Do not do any Subscriptions with them.I had it for a few weeks and didn’t enjoy the videos because the stories were all the same and lacking depth. I decided to cancel and they make it seem like it’s so easy. They told me I can cancel through my App Store but they weren’t there as a subscription so I emailed them and this is where the craziness happens. They kept telling me they couldn’t find my account to cancel even though I provided my User ID and email 5 times. They asked for me to provide all the emails I could have possibly used and I did. They kept saying my email didn’t exist so they couldn’t cancel me. This went in for weeks and they still kept charging me each week. They would send the same generic email and when I asked for a phone number or person to speak to they would send the same generic email. I eventually had to cancel my credit card and dispute this as a fraud charge. DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT SIGN UP FOR ANY SUBSCRIPTIONS through them..Nique FVersion: 2.18.3
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!

When you try to cancel it, there is no info of un-subscription though it claims to “go to my app, click payment and under subscription , search the ShortMax” Believe me you will not find this app. It automatically charged me with surcharges of 19.99 dollar within 5 days though it says it will automatically charge only before 24 hours of expiration of subscription date.

I contact Apple support but they only refund me for one paiements. I report the situation and I don’t know if they will do something about it. Now my next steps it will be my credit card company.
Editing: I finally received email from them but just asking me for more proof that I already sending to them. They don’t want to fix the problem and please read other comments before you subscribe with them. It will save you headaches..NscscnVersion: 2.15.0
Don’t do itThe free trial is not a free trial. I added it to try it out and I unsubscribed well before the renewal date (like a week before). On the renewal date it charged me anyway. I had to call apple to try and get them to reverse the charge. Apparently they have had many complaints about this app doing this to other people..MyevileyeVersion: 2.18.3
Total rip offBuyer definitely beware of this one. I cancelled my subscription after 1 day, and without me realizing they have still been charging me weekly!! Stupid me, this has been going on for over 4 months!!! For sure will be checking bank statements closer.JNR210Version: 2.18.3

DO NOT waste your time or money!I was first going through Snapchat videos when an ad for one of their movies came up and I got into it and watched the half of it on Snapchat before I decided to download the app. I wasted a total of 30 minutes and when I finally got back to the part that I was watching on Snapchat when it cut me off, I try to watch the next part that I haven’t seen that has left me on a cliffhanger, but it wants me to pay ridiculous amounts of money for one minute long episodes that are not very well English dubbed and if you want to watch the full thing, then you’re spending over do not fall for that cheap scam. If you have then don’t make this mistake again..UWantTheHonestTruth?Version: 2.18.3

Scam unauthorized chargesI signed up for one week and now they are charging me every week without option to cancel in my apple store. They dont appear there. I requested cancellation and was not cancelled. Never trust this site. They scam you out of you money $28 per week..Cammyz2018Version: 2.18.3
DO NOT PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION TO THIS APP.My experience with this company has been extremely disappointing. I contacted customer support multiple times over several months, requesting the cancellation of my subscription because there was no way to do so through the App Store. Despite sending numerous emails on different occasions, I never received a single response.
Meanwhile, I continue to be charged $28 per month for a service I have repeatedly tried to cancel. The complete lack of customer support and accountability is unacceptable.
If you’re considering spending money on this app, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere. There are far better alternatives available, such as ReelShort and DramaBox, that actually provide responsive customer service and respect their customers.
Save your money and avoid the frustration.Keesh A.Version: 2.18.3
