Problem with downloading app
This app deleted itself off my phone and will not let me re download it
INSANE FEE
I like the video but the price is crazy! VERY EXPENSIVE!!
To expensive
The shows are okay but not work the price way to expensive.
Jessica
Video lagging badly not worth the subscription
Fraud

Annoyed
I bought a subscription, was able to watch until the final few episodes, then it tells me I have to watch ads or subscribe to watch more episodes. What’s the point of subscribing???
Waste my money!
Slow or no download. Always says try later. I wasted my money! Cancelling now!
No unlimited subscription
It’s a coin price and it’s so drawn out. 80-100 episodes and it’s like $40 a show. It’s ridiculous. If they would do like all the other apps they would be super popular.
Worst app ever👎🏻 ripoff’s
They make you pay for a subscription to watch only one series, and you don't even finish a quarter of it. Your subscription ends, and you paid $15 for a weekly subscription! Weekly, what a scam! It didn't even last an hour!
No weekly subscription?!
Nope, no weekly subscription is a hard stop for me. Deleted and will move on to an app that is better
Paid for membership
Membership paid, and can not watch anything, they dont respond to emails, bad service
Expensive
Not worthy, it’s so many good apps out there and you pay let’s say 20 for week and you can watch all series for free for one week!! Here you have to pay at least 50 to watch one show!! It’s to expensive !! Not worthy at all
Rip off
I paid $14.99 for a week so I could watch the shows until my subscription expires on the 15 of March but it won’t let me and I would like my money back. If you’re going to ask viewers to subscribe for a certain amount of time you should let them watch as many shows as they want. I’m going back to reelshort and drama box. I ask you to please fix this or give me my money back. Thank you
Looters
Do not use this app thy fool in coin
Horrible
Horrible app. You can’t even watch one series without paying more.
Don’t do it!!
If there was a no star option that would be mine! Don’t waste your money I paid for a month and it wasn’t even enough coins for 1 reel!!! Save your money and don’t go for anything dealing in coins!! Never again!
Scam
WHO TF IS ACTUALLY PAYING FOR THIS .
So expensive I literally don’t understand . 25 a week ??? Come on man
So expensive I literally don’t understand . 25 a week ??? Come on man
DO NOT USE!!!
THE WEEKLY/MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION IS MEANINGLESS!!! There are 1000 better apps that actually give you what you pay for. I paid $50 and never got through one of their movies. DO NOT PURCHASE!!
Subscriptions you should make more money so we can watch one movie and I have to rebuild every week
I wish I could give you a better rating
Do not subscribe it is a scam to take your money for free
I paid $29 dollars after a few swipe my $29 was taken away did not even get a chance to watch anything please save your money. Do not subscribe to this because you will lose your money. This app is a scam.
Scam
Bought a weekly pass and still wasn’t able to watch the full series. At this rate I have to pay 100usd to watch the full series which is outrageous
Nothing but scam
You people are nothing but scam and so frustrating, other short movie app have a weekly subscription for membership where you can watch movie for free in a week not the hell coin you people scam me with just now, I regret doing this a big time, my coin can’t even watch have of the movie $14 where I use $6 for membership in other app and I watch movie for a good one week.
Use another short drama app
With the other short drama apps you pay and can watch all you want. This app sucked. After paying I could only watch one drama to completion and the. It tried to get me to watch ads and do all of these ridiculous check-ins. Save your money. There are too many better services that don’t cheat you out of your money.
Mimi
Scam😶
Cllick Bait
Do not purchase.
Disappointed
I like the story lines, however I don’t like that I spend more time watching ads than the story itself. It seems like they could at least give you a few everyday. It is disappointing that they are trying to force you into spending money to avoid ads.
Misleading “Monthly VIP” Experience
Today I purchased the “Monthly VIP” experience for $32. I expected a time based access consistent with the term “monthly.” Instead, the subscription provides only a limited number of coins, which allowed me to watch 1, almost 2, dramas before depletion.
In practice this was comparable to renting a movie for $16 each. The experience is further limited by the inability to fast forward or skip episodes. This reduced my flexibility and I felt the value of my purchase.
The term “monthly” is misleading as it’s not based on duration but on a very restricted consumption limit.
This should have been distinct at the time of purchase instead I had to find out at the climax of a drama that I ran out of coins and required more coins on the first day of the “subscription.”
This experience doesn’t align with a reasonable customer experience.
Based on this I would caution potential subscribers or buyers to read the fine print.

Subscription
Not able to watch the show after purchase. Not customer service or chat available to assist
Don’t waste your money
Out of all of the vertical series this has to be the worse overprice out of all of them. Cost me 15 dollars to watch not even even ten short reels. All the review that says it is great has to fake.
Subscription
I bought a subscription, and I still have to pay to watch more
Avoid
I paid, but videos will not unlock!!
🇯🇴
زي الخرا .... اخرا تطبيق تفيه عليكم بس
Literally Sucks
Literally sucks. Have tried to cancel my subscription MULTIPLE times but app/website will not allow it and email never gets a response.
Overpriced
Shows are fine themselves but the price is insane, paid for 30 dollars worth of coins but that wasn’t even enough to unlock all 60 episodes (each episode being 3-5 minutes) of a single movie, should either have the show be a set price or have a monthly rate. I was only able to unlock about half of one movie for 30 dollars worth of coins, that’s severely overpriced
NOT A SUBSCRIPTION
You pay for a weekly or monthly subscription but you actually just get a limited number of coins and have to keep topping off. There is no actual subscription. And they won’t let you choose which episodes to watch. You have to go in order no matter what. LITERALLY TRASH APP. Will be cancelling ASAP.
Ripe off
This app is a ripe off hey charge $10 per episode what a ridiculous this is
This app is frustrating
Off all of these types of apps I’ve tried, this one is the worst. It’s super expensive to pay to watch a series and the bonuses they give you for watching ads are super small. Also, the number of credits to watch the next episode changes so even if you do buy credits you have no idea how far they will go. I paid twice to watch h one episode and right before I watch the very last episode, the app pushes me back to episode one and when I try to click back on the last episode, it’s locked along with all the other episodes so now I’ve spent all this money and watched a ridiculous number of ads, only to not find out how the story ends.
No sound
After purchasing additional minutes coins the app all sudden created no sound. The storyline is in love with free plus size 14 year old.
Can’t cancel subscriptions!
I like the services and shows but when I’m done, I’m done. There is no way to make them stop charging me! I even deleted the app from my device and still got charged. This is such a scam and I am tired of having to get new credit cards because of the apps that operate using third party billing with no traceable account details.
Worse short drama app
You sign up for a monthly subscription thinking that you'll be able to watch everything comfortably for a month but then when the coins run out, they ask for more money. I deleted.
Expensive
Forget you!!! Way tooooo expensive to finish one series
Repeated story lines are getting tiresome
Repeated story lines are getting tiresome
Disappointed
The drama shorts are entertaining but inaccessible. I bought the monthly subscription and didn’t get a full week’s worth of viewing before I was told I needed to pay. I contacted to company and was told they couldn’t find my subscription. They can however find my card to charge again! Feel like I was totally scammed. Still not resolved.
