It’s alright
The reason why this is not a five star is because once you finish an episode it comes up with like vip the I click the x on the top then after you finish all the 5 ads just for you to end up watching it the next day I find it very annoying but yeah hope you guys can do something about that thank you x
2025-12-30
Nice way to pass the time
Very easy to make use of. Able to download 10 mini episodes per day. I personally prefer to wait until the entire series has finished downloading before I start watching it. Nobody’s gonna win any Oscars, but the production is usually of a pretty decent quality!
2025-12-30
Love it but hate it
Love all the drama, intrigue and even the over exaggerated scenes. I’ve also got my favourite actors. Just the waiting for the next day after watching ads and the using all options to watch more free is really annoying. You can play games for points which is good but doesn’t earn many coins.

Reel Short is honestly a letdown. Paying 10 quid for just ten 30-second videos feels like a total rip-off. The content is super short, and it's just not worth the money.

Love! but the VIP is way too expensive.
I love reelshort alot! I found it on tiktok and watch episodes on it almost everyday, however you can only get 5 free episodes a day and then you need to buy/earn coins. I understand that it is fair to do so however the VIP is far too expensive. £15 a week is unaffordable for what i can only assume is most of the apps users and it is extortionate at best. I do not let such a small thing stop me or anyone from using the app but atleast make it a monthly payment! All in all, i do recommend this app.
2025-09-25
So frustrating
This app appears so good until you use it. Acting and actors are very good however the app constantly crashes or fails to move in. I have had to watch the same episodes 5 times even though days ago I had moved onto episodes far in the reel but it constantly writes them off forcing me to return to previous ones then shuts down. This is so annoying and needs to be looked at. Constantly crashes and has got worse over the last 10 days. Too many ads, episodes are too short and rewards not playing either. Deleting and reinstalling has not worked and neither has the update. Constant messages staying the video is not ready is rubbish and the same message I’ve several days is unacceptable. You used to be so good so what is going on with your app and service? So, so disappointing
2025-09-04
No way to close auto-unlock
I genuinely enjoy this app, and I don’t mind the adds. Honestly, it’s a great alternative to purchasing coins and they aren’t disruptive pop-ups, so it’s a plus. However, the reason I’m not giving 5 stars, is because of the Auto-Unlock feature. There’s no way to “turn it off” for a series you’ve just started, and the app doesn’t notify you that you’ve just spent coins. The only way to switch off Auto-Unlock is by “paying” for one episode and then closing it. This is not an issue if you have a paid membership I suppose, but when I have to watch ads to refill my coins, and I basically waste coins on an episode I could watch with an ad instead, it’s quite annoying. I just spent about 200 coins without realizing it.
Overall great app. Love how you’ve done it. I’d just like to be notified if my coins are used and to have an option to block Auto-Unlock for any series I start. Thanks.

Interesting
This is a very interesting and very real movies , they act very very good , only seeing one cut off in the sounds tho so it sounds like in a box ! Although its got lots of choices and unlike the others , this one has more chances of free like watching a certain amount of adds a day until u beed to pay but u can earn the money , it us a very easy and you can watch 30 odd or more episodes a day until you cant ! Overall this is way better than the others annd id recommend if so

Queen Mom Rule
Queen Mom Rules – Review
Athena Sterling, a successful CEO, returns home with a diamond gift—only to be shamed by her own family as “low-class.” But instead of retaliating, she rises with quiet strength and strategic grace. Her journey isn’t about revenge—it’s about reclaiming dignity in a culture obsessed with status and hierarchy.
Key Themes:
• Graceful Power: Athena’s silence speaks louder than rage. Her restraint reflects deep wisdom.
• Cultural Tension: Eastern values meet Western storytelling in a drama that feels both intimate and universal.
• Female Resilience: Athena transforms inwardly and outwardly—stylish, strategic, and spiritually grounded.
Highlight Moments:
• The dinner scene where her gift is mocked—setting the emotional tone.
• Tender glimpses of her bond with her mother.
• Behind-the-scenes clips revealing the cast’s depth and creative process.
Final Word:
Queen Mom Rules is a mirror for anyone who’s ever been underestimated. Athena’s story reminds us: true strength is quiet, redemptive, and rooted in grace. For your ministry, Jerico, it’s a cinematic parable of inner healing and identity reclaimed.

A scam
An absolute scam let’s see watch the first few episodes and then ask you to top up your coins fair enough. It says it’s 39 it gives you option to top up. I took an option for 500 coins which was £4.99 I had assumed that it was 37 coins to watch the whole series which was like 80 episodes however probably about an hours with a viewing. I’m watching another few episodes most of which I scroll through by the way because they were boring and time wasting up me to shut up again I didn’t realise it must be 37 coins per episode which is less than a minute long meaning to watch the whole thing would probably cost around £15. The most trash acting and production ever, and Berry in mind that Netflix is £7 or £8 a month the audacity is Wild an absolute scam do not download
2025-08-14
Needs more work
Simple app with a quick ott burst of humor when you just need a quick lift or zone out with some happy moments. Has mills & boon/comedy storyline format, i swear I've read these.
I like to save up the coins to watch every few days due to time constraints but for some reason I lose the coins just by searching for the ones I want to watch. There should be notification to say when you will be using coins or be able to stop the use of coins for free episodes. Use of coins is not clear and should be worked on as it's really frustrating to log and find the coins were used unintentionally on a previous use.
There should be an option to remove subtitles it very distracting. Is this an app for reading or watching shows?
Its also an app to watch on the go so why is screen mirroring not available. Short story formats so should be able to use on big screen if i can mirror it right?
2025-07-29
Addictive
I’ve watched reel short for months. I really enjoy the series and I like certain actors so I’ve watched everything they’ve done on reel short. I like the free videos you can watch per day and I like gaining coins doing tasks on games or watching adverts to watch more of a particular series. I take time each day for myself with a coffee and watch episodes of a few shorts and come back each day as we are generally left on a cliff hanger. Would recommend.
2025-07-17
Not great
I have read fave reviews for this app and we are obviously not looking at the same stuff!!! The stories are awful and the bad characters are sooo unpleasant and unrealistic that it’s ridiculous. I have watched 2 similar stories where the husband has a woman trying to seduce him away from his wife, who constantly sides against his wife, treats her like trash, oh and don’t forget she’s from the most wealthy family in the world either!!! A woman who lost her child punish and continuously relish the ongoing pain and misery of the other romantic, who was awful, but you are obviously are not the good one if you go to the jail to delight in her incarceration and that she lost her child!!! I could definitely write better storylines than those!!! Absolute waste of my time and energy, deleting the app

ReelShort- honest review
This is a great app, it’s great for grabbing your attention and getting you hooked to a story. If your looking for an app that you can use to sit down for maybe 5 minutes a day and decide to go with ReelShort then I wish you the best of luck as this is how I started. The only downfall I can see to this app is you either have to spend around £30-£40 to watch the full show that your watching or for nearly every episode watch an advert if your not a member, I tested the membership for a week and it was good but I wouldn’t say it was fully worth the asking price. Other then this I wouldn’t say 100% recommend this app to anyone who has a lot of spare time and has a tv watching addiction to romance to settle.
2025-06-24
Great app
As a reader who recently checked out ReelShort, I have to say I’m really impressed! The platform is incredibly user-friendly, making it perfect for both new and experienced creators alike. I love the wide range of editing tools available; they enhance creativity and help make short videos look professional. Additionally, the community around ReelShort is a standout feature—it's inspiring to see and connect with other creators. Overall, ReelShort has been a fantastic discovery for anyone interested in expressing their creativity through short films! Highly recommend checking it out!

Big props to the marketing team ♥️ nothing else
This is a laughable app. The content is GCSE drama and although trying to appear as a cost friendly option is 10x more expensive than other platforms considering the options and quality of what’s available. £20 a week or watch 60 seconds of ads for less than 60 seconds of content 5 times a day. The only good thing I can say is the content is so bad it’s addictive cause it’s giggly 😂 I’ve seen them reply to the price comment reviews over and over but no exciting events or promotions would ever make this worth it. £2 a month is more likely the price point. But tbf great marketing strategy on TikTok so congrats to the marking team xoxo
2025-06-07
Too expensive and way too many ads!
Hey! I love the content. The stories are great, and addicting and I love making my way through them. However, the only reason I did not choose 5 star is because of how expensive it is. Yes, there are options to obtain free coins, such as watching ad after ad (not ideal when the ads are longer than the episodes themselves!!), playing games (never seem to be able to claim these) and again, watching more ads. It’s time consuming, and incredibly off putting. I have several unfinished stories because I refuse to spend the expensive money for the subscription. If it was cheaper, or if there was more free content. It would be so so much better and a lot more popular.
2025-05-23
Plenty of drama!
Really enjoying watching the short stories being told in these videos on ReelShort. The storylines are a little far fetched on occasion, but that just adds to the drama and playfulness of the whole thing. Definitely worth downloading and watching a few vids to give your afternoons something a little different. Great that they offer the option to earn coins to use to unlock videos, as well as 10 free episode unlocks per video per day with ads. Really lets you get into the dramas without having to spend a load of money.

Disappointing Changes and Poor Customer Service
I used to really enjoy using Reelshorts and recommended it to others, when compared to other platforms, but recent changes have significantly impacted the experience and I can no longer recommend it to anyone. The app now allows extremely long adverts - up to 60 seconds, plus an extra 10-20 seconds, which is a big shift from the previous 30-40 second limit. When I reached out to customer service about this, I received a generic reply stating that ad length is decided by the advertiser. However, this didn’t address my actual concern: the platform used to limit the advert length and now doesn’t, which negatively affects user experience.
As a VERY frequent user of over two months, I found their responses dismissive and unhelpful, often treating me like a new user. I also reported a bug where it seemed like every fifth ad doesn’t unlock the episode, but that was ignored too.
It’s disappointing to feel unheard as a loyal user. The content is really good, but similar quality can be found on other apps. What made Reelshorts stand out - the slightly shorter ads and a smoother experience - is no longer the case.
I’ll be finishing the shows I’ve started, but after that, I’ll be moving to other platforms. I hope they listen to genuine user feedback in the future.
2025-04-28
Enjoyable
I am enjoying this app, the dramas are good and for the most part well acted. I like the option to watch ads to get coins but could you please make each instalment of the drama cost the same amount of coins? I would like to be able to work out how many instalments I have got to watch by the number of coins earned, for example twenty coins makes one episode or however many you decide on. Keep up the good work, there are so many to watch and you’re adding more all the time, this is one of my favourite apps!
2025-04-19
One of the better ones
I’ve downloaded quite a few of the apps that make drama series accessible. Some of them are so tedious to use I’ve ended up deleting them. This one I’ve stayed with. Yes, it can be irritating whilst waiting for the ads to finish but it is possible to collect “points” “coins” or whatever they’re called to watch a whole drama. Unfortunately you’ll probably need to space out your watching versus collecting if you want to watch a whole drama in one go but at least that way you’ll get to see them without paying directly for them. The option to buy virtual coins is available for those that wish to do so.
2025-04-18
Love it
I absolutely love ReelShort! The bite-sized episodes are perfect for when I need a quick escape or something exciting to watch on a break. The storylines are super engaging—full of twists, drama, and romance that keep me hooked from start to finish. The acting is surprisingly solid, and the app makes it easy to binge a whole series without getting bored. If you’re into intense plots, cliffhangers, and entertainment that doesn’t drag on, this is the app for you.
I also love how there’s an option to ear coins instead of paying for them as a lot of apps this is no longer an option.
I didn’t expect to love it this much—but now I’m totally obsessed!
2025-04-10
Beware of pricing scam
I came across a short video on Facebook that looked interesting, so I started watching it using the free version. To avoid the constant ads, I decided to buy some credits just to finish the short film. The price displayed was 75 coins, so I purchased 500 coins (the minimum option) for £4.99, thinking it would be enough.
After just 6–8 minutes of watching, all my credits were gone. That’s when I realized the 75-coin price was just for a one-minute segment. The pricing is absolutely ridiculous. I ended up paying £4.99 to watch less than 8 minutes of content. At that rate, a 2-hour video would cost you around £75!
It’s hard to believe the creators of this app are still living in 2025 and not some overpriced dystopia in 2050. Do yourself a favor and skip this app — you’ll find way better content on other platforms at a fraction of the price.

Great short movies app
I’ve only had this app a few days now and the short movies on there a great to watch I started out watching bits via facebook and saw myself getting hooked so had to get the app so I could see how the movie ended. Love it . The only downside for me is that the coins to keep watching are pricey so instead have to keep watching ads to build up coins to carry on watching a little more and once that’s run out have to then wait till the next day to start watching the ads again to carry on watching more.
2025-03-13
Interactive annoyance
In general, I’m a fan of ReelShort. I enjoy the guilty pleasure of the high drama, and often pay extra to get a week’s full access. However, a big irritant for me is the number of interactive stories they are putting out at the moment. I can be looking forward to a new show coming out, only to find when I start to watch it that it is an interactive one that requires an abundance of extra coins to get through.
I just think that, if someone is paying for full access to all shows, maybe that should include some extra coins, or some other way to allow them to benefit during interactive shows as well.
2025-03-12
ReelShort!!
I’ve only been with ReelShort for a short while and so far I’m really impressed. Yes you can only watch a few episodes until you need to pay for unlimited episodes which is the only downside!! The price is quite unrealistic as this can cost a lot to people who are on an already low income. I know you can collect the coins or even buy the coins to use on unlocking episodes. You can even watch ads to unlock episodes which is a good way to watch a whole story. I love the range of different stories and the actors are great at playing these roles. Good selection of shows to watch. For a range of different aged family members. Just need a better way to get unlimited viewing for a more reasonable price! 😃

Must Pay!
Downloaded this app after watching a ‘film’ intro on Facebook. Managed to watch several ‘episodes’ which happened to be lengthened versions of what was shown on Facebook. Then had to watch an advertisement to enable watching the following ‘episode’, at this point the ‘episodes’ became shorter and after 5 advertisements had to either pay to watch or wait 24 hours.
24 hours later, return to continue watching however, it is not possible to watch from where you got to and have to watch from the beginning again. Thus restarts the process of advertisements and then the need to pay. Therefore unless you pay it’s not possible to watch an entire ‘film’.
Personally I wouldn’t pay to watch these ‘films’ they’re poor quality films but very good at wanting you to watch more! App deleted!

This could be an amazing app
I obviously got hooked on a video on TikTok and thought oh let’s watch the whole thing! Downloaded this app and had some hope. Was going well until I got through the first 15 clips and then I had to watch an ad per clip, and after 5 you have to pay?? Why don’t you make this free to view you will bring in so many more people. Stupid payments like this for some short films is ridiculous. You’re clearly not a big company so putting these crazy charges in will just put people off. I downloaded this and uninstalled it the second you showed me I had to purchase something. Throw an advert in every 10-15 clips and get rid of the payments and you will have such a bigger fan base!

Needs less ads
I get its free and all however the adds are ridiculous if your like me who doesn't want to pay a lot to this app i wouldn't bother downloading it in the first place because you watch about 1 minute then have to watch and add i get watching them if it's free of course but not so many then it says i haven't watched one and i have to watch it all over again and you run out of coins so quickly meaning u have to watch more adds if you don't want to pay money also they story lines are long however you can only watch like 8 minutes a day for free then you have to watch loads of ads to get some coins to watch one more minute it's ridiculous really.
FOR DEVELOPERS
please just put a few less ads a bit more watch time and maybe a game or something to get coins and instead so you still make money maybe make it so we have to pay for certain ones and to watch the whole way thrifty without ads

addicting stories but…
this app is really enjoyable, but the stories are cut really short, i use the free version and i get 5 free watches if i watch the ads. The ads I’m watching are longer than the episodes and then i have to wait 20 hours before this option is refreshed. It makes it hard to follow along with the story! If there’s going to be a limit to how much you watch then 1 ad should allow you to watch at least 5 episodes otherwise it’s pointless my last episode was 45 seconds and my ad was around 1-2 mins long. If it stays the same users will get frustrated and remove that app which is a same because other than this issue it’s a really good app.

waste of space.
i won't even lie to you, the stories were intriguing and humorous but the fact that you are ONLY watching minute clips as episodes is such a let down. on top of that, you have to earn coins to watch the next clips which means coming back every single day to collect coins which is a waste of time. the ads in the app are LONGER than the episodes. and the fact that you are charging people for a subscription when each episode is only a minute long doesn't make any sense whatsoever. trying to use this app without a subscription (there shouldn't even been one at this point) is exhausting bro. make the free experience a little more enjoyable OR increase the length of the episodes.

The rip off of dhar man
You have to pay to basically use the app and I am not talking about just a couple quid to watch a whole series, you have to pay £10 to watch about 20 max, it is really investing I will give it credit there, you get about 10-15 episodes for free which you probably will have seen on TikTok. It drains your bank account, I understand that your trying to make money but use ads instead of charging me £10 to watch around 15- 20 minutes which is only 19-23 episodes which a whole series is around 80 to watch the whole thing it’s a fortune you can also watch ads but you can only watch 5 a day, it does drag you into the series and that’s where you spend your money it is £20 a week or £200 a year to watch all the episodes which most of the people watching these are teens which most of them will not have the money for that. I regret every penny I have spend it’s honestly not worth a moment of time.

Great app
Hi all, this is a great app I am enjoying all the stories however I think the episodes could be longer or instead of watching adds for coins you could have a system where people have to wait a day to automatically get the next episode free. This way people have the choice to top up or wait however the adds are good for a quick unlock and could be given more than 5 a day because you get really into the story and want to see more. I know I do. Otherwise I have no issues. Great app. Hope to see more cool stories soon!

Disappointed
I’m so disappointed with this app when I first saw it I thought it was brilliant and that it had loads of interesting stories on it that I knew I would enjoy . When I first started watching the stories they were all really interesting but when I realised you can only watch five a day and you have to watch ads to watch it, I thought that was ridiculous especially when I’m so engaged into a story that I have to wait 16 hours for the adverts to recharge so I can watch more which is hugely disappointing and when I try to watch ads to gain more awards so I can buy those episodes my rewards magically disappear and I can’t understand why please fix this issue or look into it to get it sorted because this is very upsetting as I love this app as it has such good stories on it and I just wish I could watch more than five episodes a day

One advert it can take up to 10mins n still nothing all I see is a blank screen
Can’t believe that, every time I want to go onto the next clip of a series. Don’t get me wrong I love watching these short stories but I have to watch advertisements but it would be good if I could watch the ad, so I can finish the series. All I can see is a blank screen, no advertisement or anything, for one advert it can take up to 10mins n still nothing. So, I have to close the whole thing down n start all over again, then I have lost my bonus n the next clip. I’m not delete the app again because if I delete it I won’t be installing it back on my phone again.
Can you please sort out this problem?

Good, but….
I agree with previous reviews that I enjoy the stories themselves but if you are watching via the ads it’s just not working! The 5 ads per day thing turns into 2 or 3 if you are VERY lucky. This is due to the ads not loading or freezing/breaking half way through or even when you think you are actually doing ok for a change you manage to get through 3 whole ads (after some freezing & restarting) you go to watch another thinking you are good for 2 more ads because that’s what your count said going in to the last one, but no…. it’s now reading 5/5 ads watched come back tomorrow!!??
So all in all 4/5 stars for great content but poor ad delivery!! :-(

great app
i found this app when an add popped up on tik tok i was quite pleased about the first 5 of so clips being free but i have a few things that i think would need looking into because i have become quite hooked to the stories and would like to continue watching but these issues are simply just becoming to annoying.
there is lots of varieties of stories and i think that is great, however i do think the clips are very short for the amount of coins we have to use to unlock them, some of them being under 1 minute and costing over 100 coins which is very disappointing and very overpriced.
as far as getting coins goes i think it is quite easy and there are many ways such as watching adds and playing any games suggested. although sometimes there is a glitch when claiming your free adds. this has happened to me a few times, it is when you watch one add and your clip does not play your add count also does not go up making you watch another add and this goes on. if this issue is not solved (and fast) i will have no other choice but to delete this app.

Enjoyed but also has problems
Disappointed about using coins and too many ads . Ads can be 2/3 mins long for only a minute or so episode . Coins per episode for some reason increase (should be the same per episode- the episode I’m currently on is 100+ coins for ONE EPISODE! Ads should be max 1min . Daily coins has also decreased from 10 ads to 7. When I was on holiday I couldn’t watch the episodes so was collecting coins instead. I had collected 900 coins over a couple of days and it started decreasing because I wasn’t using it ( decreased down to 0) . Will be deleting after the current series I’m watching

Disappointed
I recently downloaded this to watch a short that I seen advertised on TikTok. Once downloaded I was able to get to chapter 87/90 and now the only option for me to complete the series is to pay a minimum of £5 - the choices of payment range up to £200 for a year subscription.
Had I have been informed beforehand that you had to pay to complete the series and it wasn’t entirely accessible through watching 30 second - 1 minute long adverts then I never would have wasted my time watching what I did. A little transparency to inform people they need to pay to complete the episodes would be beneficial, and with prior knowledge I probably would have paid it.
I will be uninstalling because who has time to watch so many ads when you can’t complete anything.

Another app to which we are the cash cow
I completely understand you needing to make money and then also to pay actors etc but that being said the price of everything is way to high for what you get and should you wish to go the free option you sit through the same minute long episodes just to get a 30 second clip most of it being a repeat of what you just saw so again not worth it. You get 9 free episodes of each story then you have to start paying by either watching way to many ads for such little reward or paying way to much again for such little reward, the downside is I actually enjoy the stories they are good, but with way to many cons it’s really just not worth the time

Great stories and acting but rubbish app.
The stories and the acting are really good but as far as the free option is concerned - watching ads and signing in to get bonuses, etc - this app is absolute rubbish. Take today for example. I'm trying to follow the story but when I get to the end of a chapter I'm invited to watch an ad to move on. OK accept that but when I go to do it, if the ad comes up it doesn't allow me to move on and just asks me to watch an ad. It doesn't even add the ad (excuse the pun) to the count of ads watched today. Even worse though is when I get a message to say the ad isn't available, try again later, or even worse that I've got no network connection which just isn't true. Unfortunately, it seems I'm not the only one suffering this way. I certainly wouldn't recommend this app the way it is.
I've now found the reason for the problem I was having. It's all to do with setting how the app tracks me for ad purposes. Now that I've set the tracking options and submitted it, the app works fine. My only complaint is the length of each episode before you have to watch an ad or use coins/bonuses, hence 4 stars.

Do not watch as a free user
I was enjoying my experience with Reelshort as a free customer, having had experience with similar apps I was not surprised there was a pay wall to watch episodes and I was happy checking in every day, getting the free ad rewards and making my way through a series slowly. I only wanted to watch two series anyway. I was halfway through my first series when suddenly the app stopped working on my phone. It didn’t recognize me and had erased the watch history. Worse, it kept saying network error and became unresponsive so I couldn’t watch anything or obtain any rewards. I know the developers will say I should have logged in to ensure my watch history was maintained but as many users I found this unnecessary and did not want to pay extra for it. I know other people have spent money and bought episodes only for the same to happen to them. I have thrived resetting my phone, updating my software, deleting and redownloading the app and nothing works. Very disappointed as I was happy to watch the ads every day.
I have now moved onto Dramabox, same app concept and the series I was watching is also there, but with a different name. If you get hooked to a series you can probably find it online somewhere so skip the paywall and poor app software and watch it for free!

Love the stories
Loving watching the stories. Lots of different stories to choose from to suit a variety of people. There do seem to be some with similar story lines but I really enjoy watching them. Bit frustrating that you can only watch short episodes before having to watch an Ad. The Ads are all the same repeated over & over & lets face it, who actually watches them? So if you could get rid of the Ads then people would enjoy this app so much more. But saying that, I am hooked & the ads aren’t stopping me returning every day to watch more.

Paid for coins, bought episodes and unable to access the
I purchased coins via the app to access episodes of a series, but following a phone reset and having bought the coins as a guest, I'm now unable to access the episodes I previously purchased. I have proof of purchase in my account transactions, indicating that I did make a purchase to reelshort.
Unfortunately, the lack of contact information on their website complicates the process of seeking assistance. The site's navigation further exacerbates this challenge, making it tough to find a way to communicate with their support team. Unfortunately, I've left a one-star review due to these issues. However, I'm willing to revise my review if someone from Reelshort reach out and assist me in recovering or transferring my purchases to a new account.

Too many adds!!
The ads for this app are so intriguing and just reel you in because you have the need too find out what’s next in the story. When I downloaded the app I was disappointed too see that the videos who only a minute and a half AT MOST, but I got over it. What frustrated me more what the fact that after the first few clips, you had too watch an add between every single video too unlock it. Usually I would tolerate this only too find out that the adds are longer than the actual clip!! The only alternative it too spent excessive money on coins that’ll only buy you around 2-4 free clips. This was a great app idea but the adds ruin the whole thing completely. I was insanely let down and ended up removing the add due too massive disappointment.
Please get this fixed or changed so I can re download the app and have a great experience. And I sure from reading some other reviews, that goes for a lot others. Much appreciated.

DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME, MONEY, OR STORAGE!!
I had to give this 1 star for the review, in reality it’s 0 stars. I had this app for less than a day, The “episode’s“ are so short and very expensive. I was smart enough to try first with “free coins, that got me 2 episodes.” Not only that, this was the only app I had downloaded for a very long time, and suddenly the storage on my phone kept getting lower and lower (from over half free, to the less than a quarter free), and I was having trouble downloading anything else, going on the Internet, and check for updates. It stated going so slow, I tried everything to fix it, I went back into phone storage and hardly any was left. Once I deleted it and restarted my phone, low and behold my iPhone storage went back to over half free again, and stopped being slow.

Disappointment with ReelShort's Unexpected Paywall
After dedicating countless days navigating through the myriad of episodes on ReelShort, my journey came to an abrupt and disheartening halt. The app, which initially seemed promising with its vast library, ultimately left me feeling deceived. With over 60 episodes consumed, the realisation that the final 4-5 were locked behind a paywall was not just surprising but felt like a betrayal of the time invested.
The app's model of limiting daily viewing coupled with the requirement to watch multiple ads per day seemed reasonable at first, given the free access to content Z Listed content. However, the imposition of a payment requirement to view the concluding episodes of a series feels unnecessarily greedy. This strategy, seemingly designed to capitalize on the viewer's investment and anticipation, undermines the goodwill built by the ad-supported model.
Moreover, the frustration is compounded by the fact that the app benefits financially from the ads displayed, making the sudden paywall feel like a double dip into the consumer's pocket. This approach not only tarnishes the viewing experience but also raises questions about the app's respect for its user base!

This would b a 4star but,
Storylines are so interesting, variety of stories could b a little longer but I understand where it’s rea people it takes time to film. Only thing is you get 5 free clips a day if you watch the corresponding amount of adverts, but the adverts rarely work, it says try again, sometimes only 1 or two work, and it’s not even like you can u lock coins for free, or after a few hours it unlocks. The adverts aren’t playing and that needs to b fixed other wise the app is pointless and I’m really enjoying my storyyy 😭, other wise I’m addictive and love the stories, decent acting as well, it’s actually not bad for once unlike other apps with downright horrible actors.

Just a few too many long ads for my liking
The story I’m currently watching is very gripping, but I find the fact that I have to watch so many long adverts just to watch a half minute clip or gain a few more tokens, it ruins the overall experience of the thing I’m watching.
Now don’t get me wrong it’s my choice not to pay so I shouldn’t really complain. But I should be able to get at least two episodes free for every advert watched, especially if they’re the shorter ones.
Overall, though, I really enjoy this app.
2024-01-22
Such a disappointment
The few short videos that creeps up on your FB page usually is enough and you want to know what happened next. So you download the app just to realise that short video is about 30second long after which you need to watch a ad to get next one unlock. And the ad is actually longer the video itself haha. Also you only allowed to unlock 5 of those short videos a day before you locked.
You can unlock it if you want but that would cost you like £25. I think cheapest option is £10 but that gives you enough credit to watch 2 maybe 3 episodes.
Great idea but such a poor execution. Hade high hopes but left me annoyed with constant ads and frustrated.
I gave it few days to see if I could work around it. Found option to watch 10ads in a row for some extra credit just to find out this would only last 2 episodes.
Honestly is not worth the time and hassle- unless you are into ads more than story itself.
2024-01-17
Can’t log in. Too much adverts! Deleting app!
It’s annoying that I spend more time watching adverts than watching the story itself. The videos are only about 1 minute long. To continue the story, you either watch ads to watch the next episode, or pay. however they only allow you to watch 5 ads per day. Plus you can earn an extra 150 points by watching another 7 ads on top, that’s the max. Each episode costs about 50-90 points depending what you’re watching.
Now that I’ve had the app for about 3 weeks it’s failed to let me log in. So I’ve lost all the points I’ve previously gained and can’t finish the story I was following. I’m deleting this app!!

Storylines are interesting but trying to watch them is frustrating
Having to watch ads before every 1 minute long episode gets very tedious. If you decided to splurge out just to watch one series you would just be spending a fortune and it is not worth it. All the storylines are interesting and gripping don’t get me wrong but this is just another money grabbing scheme.
I think to keep people interested and still watching - maybe consider bringing in a monthly subscription free - like with Netflix, and you can watch as much as you like but for a monthly fee. I think this is the only fair way to go about this, otherwise people will just eventually stop watching as people don’t have money to waste.

You won’t be able to watch last few episodes without paying
First of all I will give them 2 stars for the interesting shows and ads. But the in app ads are super annoying. You get to watch 30 seconds worth of content after unlocking with 30 second to 1 min ads. I was watching the show and was enjoying even with these unreasonable amount of ads. But I had last 3 episodes remaining it didn’t allow me to watch any more with ads I had to pay to watch the last few episodes… if you want to make a show paid make the show paid why you have to make the last episode paid! So annoying!!

Clips are too short for what you’re getting
Been trying to watch a series now that captured my interest and no sooner do I watch literally no more than 2 mins I have to watch an advert that takes another 2-3 mins to go through?! It’s been annoying and frustrating to say the least it would be better if the clips were at least 5-7 mins if that’s the case and earn the coins through an advert or playing a game to earn the coins etc there’s no game to even get boost coins etc or something. It seems to be jus money? No other alternatives. Which is a real shame hopefully the daily reward either increases or the app designers can make changes to the app to help improve the overall experience.
