No Diversity
There are no Black characters. I scrolled and scrolled and couldn’t find one Black character or drama. Where are the Black people??? I was going to sign up but I was like wait, there is no diversity. You have Whites, Asian, Gay, straight, werewolves and every other creature. But not one Black drama???? No black women or men. Why? Not even plus size people with curves??? Every character looks the same. Boring
Way to expensive
Like to listen to the stories but the cost is way too much
LIARS!!!!!
Please beware of this app. i wanted to see if i would like it so i paid for a one week subscription and made sure to cancel it. They will continue to charge and when you try to reach out to resolve this issue they will not respond. Please save yourself the trouble it’s not worth it! They are scammers!!!! If i could give them negative stars I would.
Ads are longer than the episodes
The ads to watch an episode are longer than the episodes… and the ads are fairly short. Did t even finish one title before I’m uninstalling it. I should have known that if it was action Facebook that it was a money-grabbing scam/spam app.
Subscription cost
Subscription is way to pricey for one year . And way too many ads to watch a snippet of a small portion to watch after an ad. 👎🏻
Expensive
Expensive for AI slop. Badly written stories with overly drawn out workups.
Way Over Priced For Bad Content
The price for this service is almost $20 a week. Way more than any streaming service. The stories are all AI generated with similar plot lines and so many weird vocal mistakes cause it’s all computer generated. The characters are so unrelatable and there’s a lot of plot holes. Very poorly done.
Flooded with AI
Used to be really good with a variety of local and international vertical shorts. I used to be a premium member but cancelled my membership because it’s become flooded with AI shows. The AI shows aren’t even good. Will be uninstalling and finding a new platform
Sucks
extremely difficult to delete
Scam
Y’all show us half the show in the ad but then won’t even let us see up to that point in the app. 👎🏻👎🏻
The prices for a membership is crazy
16.99 a week is how much the membership cost , I pay 4.99 a month for Viki who has better dramas and twist . It’s really repetitive, if you like to watch the same storyline over and over again . They do catch your attention but absolutely doing to much I would understand 16.99 every month. This streaming app is more than Netflix every other streaming service which is not worth it.
Scammers
Who ever wrote positive review here is scammer is scammer . it’s scammer app . Pay 4.99$ I couldn’t even watch 10% of generated ai story they give you watch for free beginning episodes then get you to pay for every 5 minutes even real movie with actors cost 80% less and they trying to make every episode longer for you to pay in the end the 1hr 30 minutes movie with story that could be done in 10 min. Total scammer app
Joke
AI generated entertainment and they wanna try to charge you $16 a week for it lol not to mention it was adds …
Horrible and waste of money
Horrible cut scenes, take to long to finish serious, cost a lot of money for no reason don’t waste your money
Manager
Listen you dangle a story and offer the next chapter but only give me previously watched clips you don’t let me watch the next one therefore I delete your app
Sad!!!!
Can’t even finish one series let alone 2 episodes without so many coins. Constant stopping in the middle of a series and it replays episodes you have already seen to take more coins trying to get you to spend money. Has options to get free coins but a lot of them are to download games you probably won’t play and take up a lot of storage on your phone. Just a money trap…… sad!
Scam
Such a scam
Expensive!!!!
It costs $20.00 a week or $150 for the year to watch these films. Insane!
Don’t fall for it
You only really get the first 15 episodes at most and then you have to pay about $20 a week to get the rest of the episodes or watch ridiculous amount of ads
Scam
The astronomical price of this app is trying to charge for users to watch a few episodes or even a week is absolutely ridiculous. You could get Netflix, Paramount and Hulu for cheap cheaper than this app. Don’t waste your time
The reviews are fake
The absolute worst way to stream. Why do I need to download a whole new app for every movie? To make it worse, the subscription is a total rip-off-you have to pay per episode instead of a flat monthly rate. Just stick to other services that give you everything for a normal monthly fee. Netflix is only $9 amonth.
👎👎👎😠😠😡😡😡
👎👎👎👎
Overpriced
This is more expensive than some streaming services and actually on par with some of the premium streaming services and when I say premium, I mean like HBO Max Netflix, that type of thing. Save your money watch the ads if you’re bored. Do not purchase.
Scammers
They will still charge your cards for subscription even tho you canceled it and they don't have a number or email that will answer about complaints
Horrible
These short dramas aren’t even worth paying to watch . & the ad system is trash long ads to watch a 30 second short don’t download this app genuinley
This app is ight
Using drama box is not that good all the videos are ai and you have to pay to watch it it’s not useful whoever created this is full of nonsense I thought it would be free to watch sense it’s ai but it’s not I don’t recommend it to anyone
Repetitive trash
Somehow got bamboozled into downloading this to watch a trailer from Facebook. After being bombarded with ads to continue watching 15 second clips I caved and paid for the premium so I could watch the whole series. Finally finished the series and started looking for another. Lo and behold I found another series with the exact same script (when I say exact I mean from series to series the lines are verbatim), exact same setup, exact same premise exact same show. Just different names and actors. On top of that most of these are nothing like what got me to download the app.
Mid
Bro I’m not bout to pay for ts or watch 8 freaking ads just for one episode trash app
Taking 18.99 every week
Canceled but have bank statements every week
Horrible
Never wanna see it
AI HAS TAKEN OVER
I use to absolutely love the dramas! I canceled my subscription due to every show being AI. I’d much prefer to watch real people in movies
Good shorts but not enough free stuff
Everything costs money and as someone without the premium I can’t get that much
Coins
Coins and commercials
Too Short
The episodes are ridiculously short for so much coins. This app is not my first choice pocketfm is😒😔
