ReelShort I have to pay for technician to fix after they took 5 weeks of payment and I got zero

So I have been paying. For.5 weeks of vip unlimited videos at 19.99 a week. I've sent in the receipts over and over. I have gotten nothing.In return. Except head ache. I went on their chat with a tech thing and in order to get help I have to pay for a membership. Get that they stole 5 weeks of my subscription money and require I pay to get help. Got to be kidding me. Next stop, consumer affairs, attorney general. And by then it's in my lawyers hands. They need to fix immediately

Recommendation: It's not worth it they are thiefs

Don't let them scam you. Take immediate action. Document everything and escalate the situation to higher management at ReelShort. Use social media to expose their practices and gather support from others who might have faced the same issue. Get your lawyer involved and make it clear that you're serious about taking legal action. Push hard and don't back down until you get your money back. Your time and money are valuable — don't let them get away with this.

ReelShort This sucks

This is horrible you are able to watch free adds to get some episodes. Then they are so short it would probably take a year to watch a full thing . Once you run out of the adds to be able to watch 30 seconds and you end up paying for points to try to finish once you run out and go back the next day you have to start where you have already watched. It’s a scam basically and way too expensive. At least allow to pay a monthly fee of 5$ for a subscription or something. I got into this series no I can’t even finish it. So angry after paying about 20$ didn even get me no where it’s beyond ridiculous.

Recommendation: Just walk away

ReelShort Netflix is the best

Stick to Netflix, $12 a month and get to watch stacks and stacks of movies series whatever you want. This is $40 per video lol it’s a scam.you can’t expect to blow up or get a good name. They won’t last long. I actually got a migraine. 1 minute movie 1 minute ad, on and on then I paid $7.99 expecting complete access, instead they just wanted more after 3 mins. $12 a month for complete access to stacks of movies series ect compared to $40 per video. Delete the app and report and move on from them.

ReelShort Could of taken my wife to the theater

Here the break down 1 and half minutes than 1 and half minutes of advertising. Until you hit a spot than for 4.99 you get 500 coins but for a 1 minute and a half it cost 60 to 114 coins. So in the end you spend almost 20 dollars for a short movie that has a crappy ending. Don't waste your time. Block them on Facebook so you don't get sucked into it like my wife

Recommendation: If this is the future we are all screwed

Update by Rick Danielle Friars

There not free they suck you with a minute and a half than have to watch a add for just as long to continue. After 20 of those they stop you from watching further. Than you pay 4.99 for 500 credits thinking that this is enough. But they don't tell you is it cost 60 to 114 coins per 1 minute and a half. I could of taken my wife to a real movie at the movie theater for what this short piss por ending show cost me. I wish goggle would make there reviews more accessible before I even though about it. I would of read them. I'm so upset with this it's taken me an HR to find this to complain about it. This is communism to the highest level. This is what it will be like every where if people don't pull their heads out of their butts

ReelShort Would give zero stars if I could

I started watching one of these. I purchased “ coins “ to watch ad free. I purchased a total of 1,500 coins. That allowed MAYBE 2 minutes ad free. I decided I would just watch the ads. There is one every 30 seconds or less. I get to the end and, it won’t let me finish it! It won’t allow for me to do it ad free or purchase more coins. It’s just frozen and won’t let you do ANYTHING! It’s not my phone, it’s the app. Deceptive and predatory app. I’m extremely disappointed in this app. Will uninstall and tell EVERYONE I can to not download or watch anything as, it will not show the end of the “ short”. Do better people.

Recommendation: Stay away. DO NOT get invested in any short form them. You get nothing but frustration!

ReelShort Way too many ads and the clips are too short

I watched 20 ads to go through the first 20 then I watched 7 more ads to earn coins to watch more. When I went back to watch from where I left off it started all over again, which means I would have to watch 20 more ads just to watch what I've already watched. Then the amount of coins required to continue is ridiculous, i could buy several movies/ books for the amount it's requesting. The only reason for 2 stars and not 1 is that the story line is good.

ReelShort Dismayed and disappointed....

I installed this app. Because i was so curious to watch the short stories. I paid 279.00 pesos and i thought it was good for 1 month but to my dismay i didn't know that my gcredit almost 4,000 pesos was washout. I was so shocked that every episode was 279.00 pesos and it was all deducted in my gcredit until i noticed that i cannot watch the last episode because of luck of credit. Then i opened my Gcash and saw my gcredit remaining balance is 97 pesos only out if 4,000 pesos.

Recommendation: It's up to others if they want to download this app. If they have alot of money to pay for every episode. Although the reelshort stories were good but for me it's quite expensive..

ReelShort Upset

I tried to watch the Fated to my Alpha videos to Unlock the next but it will not show up. I Uninstaller. I will not pay for a single thing no money will ever go on this app or any app for that matter. I was more than willing to watch the ad videos to get to the next little blip or whatever the hell you guys call it real but you won't even give me those so goodbye.

Recommendation: Don't install unless you want to pay. There are no ads to watch.

Right? And then I can’t find a way to watch the last clip or 2! Ads are longer than clips and some clips are repeating the last one! It’s infuriating that you can’t finish something you spent over an hour watching! And you watch all those ads( which ok, although excessive, I was willing to watch) and don’t even get to watch conclusion!

ReelShort Love the shows but hate the price

I paid almost $40 to watch one show... $40!

Yes, they do have the ad options but the ads are just as long as the reel.

I'm just disappointed. I read where others were complaining about this ans they did get a response claiming they believe these prices are fair and competitive and that they understand everyone's finances are different. Which came off like "well, sorry you can't afford it"

Recommendation: Find another app

I paid 15.00 before I realized that didn’t help much. So I watched the ads, gets to the end and wouldn’t let me finish watching. If just froze on one screen! I think we should get together and sue for predatory, deceptive practices. It definitely doesn’t explain anything and doesn’t offer help to find out what is going on.

ReelShort Half a star

They have really good stories but too expensive to pay. 30 seconds per episode then you watch an add if you want to watch 30 second episode for free. They should just have monthly subscription or watch all episodes for $9. Too bad all good stories and actors gone to waste! Anyone know a different app that has monthly subscription or pay less than $10 for the full story?!

ReelShort Trash

The acting wasn’t great but the storyline was enough to keep me interested on tiktok…read the reviews for this was app and was not hopeful (thank goodness).

Why do I have to start at the beginning of a story and cannot choose the chapter I’m on?

Who would pay that much for so little content?!

You think you’re slick putting just enough out there to ‘reel’ me in and then I’ll waste time watching add after add to try to skip ahead where I left off before the app? (That’s a no for me dawg)…

ReelShort Reel short

I get that it’s called ReelShort but when you’re only showing 30 seconds of the video it’s quite irritating to the viewers to add onto that everything on their cost money and you can only watch a couple adds a day so if you’re willing to watch add after ad for 30 seconds of a video then it would be fine, but if not, I wouldn’t download the app
Ps when you send the same message out but never fix are at least Improve it shows how much you care about the people who view your things what a joke

ReelShort Not right

So I downloaded this app 2 days ago and started on the “Big bad husband please wake up” and it got so good that I decided to buy the started pack of $9.99. Then I ran out of the coins. I watch as many ads as I could but then I noticed that the coins were increasing different prices higher and now I lost interest because it’s unfair of that. Why would it cost so much coins? There are other apps that it’s cheaper to start on a new chapter. I would like to continue but not as much as it cost to watch new chapters.

I couldn’t even watch the last “ chapter “, as it just stays on the same screen. It’s pathetic how deceptive and predatory people can be. This app will end up being removed as more people are seeing what it really is. And if they did like a monthly payment option or even charged like 5 or less per story( or did ads, just not so many), they might be on to something. But the way it’s done is ridiculous. And they will end up losing in the end, at least I hope they do.

ReelShort They get you interested but it’s definitely to buy

I watched and had free coins and watched the ads waiting days to finish a bad soap opera with interesting stories but it’s really hard to stay focused and do it without paying a price reducing my attention to it and making me feel it’s not worth paying for because it’s scammy the way that they get you interested but don’t let your time be worthy of their costs. You get mere seconds (33 seconds most scenes) and if you do all the ads and all the ways to make it not cost it takes 3 days at best for 10 minutes of content.

ReelShort Not worthy it

Too many adds, the episode are less than a minute long. It’s annoying.

This is my response to your reply- the episodes aren’t longer. If they are the last 30 seconds is a preview of the next one. Therefore the the episode s are leas than a minute. I can’t give a high rating because all the ads are annoying and you would need to buy coins before watching the ending. It’s better to have the option to pay for the whole story- without ads then have ads and pay to finished. I am not impress and therefore will not be using this app any longer.

ReelShort Stories are good but be prepared for ads

I really like the stories I have watched so far. People have to realize that they need to be patient, especially if they want to watch for free. I would suggest swiping through all the ads first to unlock the episodes (I do this when I’m watching tv or something) and then once unlocked you can go back and watch 20 or so uninterrupted episodes which makes the experience better.
My only complaint now is I’ve downloaded all the English version ones and don’t care much for subtitles or audio dubbing so will there be more stories being released?

ReelShort Like a kit-kat short bits of excitement

Firstly, thanks I enjoy the app and a few of the eye-catching stories.

Things I like/enjoy are as follows:
- Easy way to gain coins w/out having to pay for them
- intriguing/engaging storylines
- user-friendly
- ad length isn’t too bad in comparison
- lack of ad bumming you to purchase membership
- membership seemingly reasonably priced

Possible improvements:
- variety of game ads (personally, I am the type of person who will watch the required ads given just to advance in the story if they’re that interesting)

Lastly, I look forward to more stories. Keep up the good work its greatly appreciate it.

ReelShort Mandatory purchase

I knew these were super short episodes (some less than 30 sec of actual content - it repeat much of the preview to fill time)… ok fine. But then you get to the last 5 episodes and they don’t let you watch ads to unlock. It is coins only. So this app requires you to purchase or do the daily unlock of coins while will probably take you like a week to unlock the final episodes as the price of each episode increases.

Not worth it. Just go watch the game chapters w same name on youtube for similar story and free.

Mediocre acting but i’m not expecting much bc they only give them like 20-30 sec per episode to carry out the plot.

ReelShort Usage of coins

I had 757 coins to use to unlock episodes. I was watching the virgin and the billionaire. It reset the story so I had to start from square one and use all 757 coins I had to unlock the episodes I’ve already seen. It should have saved my progress. This happened yesterday, 10/8. My UID is [protected]. I worked hard for those coins. I deserve my coins back.

Claimed loss: 757 coins

I canceled through the app 5 days into the 7 days, I'm not charged AGAIN because I didn't know I had to cancel through Google play. Each charge was 21.74 each.

ReelShort seems to have mastered the art of turning fun into frustration. Could've been worse — you at least got some cool stories before the ads took over. Hopefully, they’ll realize that keeping customers happy means actually delivering what you paid for, not just serving up endless ads.

It's unbelievable what you're dealing with here. You made a purchase in good faith, and ReelShort just can't seem to get it right. You paid for those coins, and they need to show up in your account – it's as simple as that.

This kind of issue shouldn't happen, especially with something as straightforward as a coin package. ReelShort needs to step up and fix this immediately. You've already provided the proof, so there’s no excuse for this delay. They need to understand that when customers pay for something, they expect to get what they paid for.

Keep pushing them for a resolution. Make sure they know you won't be ignored. Share your experience on every platform you can. Let others know what's going on so they can avoid the same hassle. You deserve to get what you paid for, and they need to make it right – and fast. Stay strong and don’t let them off the hook.

ReelShort a free trial subscription for a week

i’ve been on the app for a while watching all the interesting clips and it wouldn’t let me watch past without doing a free trial so i signed up and cancelled it straight after incase i forgot within a weeks time. i checked my bank and they had taken £19.99 out of my bank account even though it was supposed to be a ‘free trial’ so i’m trying to get it back asap as i think it’s unacceptable as a company to do this when it was clearly stated as a free trial. i also have no photos to add because when i take a screenshot on my mobile bank app it goes blank.

Claimed loss: £19.99

Desired outcome: i would please like a refund as i don’t think it is acceptable to have a free trial up and then take £19.99 out of my account

I can't watch ads to unlock episodes on WILL LOVE AGAIN. Instead it keep request for more coins to unlock... No watching of ads to unlock episodes... Please kindly look into it ASAP. Cause I don't have anymore coins to unlock.

Also why does one needs to use coins bonus to unlock some last episodes of movies before watch? So bad... Cause watching ads can't unlock them. Very Bad!

ReelShort Service

Hi,

I have been recently downloaded this app and paid € 5 for watch a short film (initially its showed that to watch full short film need 100 coins or bonus.

After I paid € 5 I should get 500 coins right? But it was stopped after 25 episodes and again showed need the same to watch it. So I have paid€ 9.99 for 1000 coins + 150 bonus. Then again its stopped on episode 43 and its again need to pay to watch this short film.

I find this is totally disgraceful and unfair. Once I have paid € 16 to watch a short film but its not worth it.

So kindly review issue and do the right action.

Thank you

Suni.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

There are a number of things im dissatisfied and disappointed with. Firstly i have to watch double ad in order to claim my free rewards instead of a single ad. Even then sometimes it doesnt work so i have to press again and watch another add to try and redeem it. Secondly, why does per video take so many coins? Its a waste of time. I want to be able to...

ReelShort Cost

I purchased the premium package where I received 2000 coins instantly and then so many over the next so many days. I started watching a short and when it asked to purchase the next episode, I did. It purchased the next number of episodes, which was not a big deal, except, the cost for all the episodes is different. This should have been made aware before the auto feature is allowed to purchase the next alloted amount of episodes.

Also, I exited the app and then when I went back into it, I clicked on the same short to finish it and I purchased the next few episodes. To my surprise, it was a different language. So now, I have purchased the same reel twice in 2 different languages.

Desired outcome: I would like a refund! It needs to be made clear if it is a different version.

ReelShort The app reelshort

I had purchased 1000 coins for $9.99 and another purchase of $500 coins for $4.99 I was only able to watch 8 reels in total from that and I should have been able to get through 22 episodes with that amount put in. This is fraud and a cheap scam to make money and I will take my reimbursement back to the card that was used for payment. I was astounded that this is such a cheat to customers.

Claimed loss: 15.99 is the total charged including taxes to be returned. I will be happy to post the bank statement showing was was taken from the account.

Desired outcome: The amount of 15.99 is to be refunded to the account seeing as your terms of service did not meet expectations, nor matched the charge.

I agree. I shouldn’t have to pay $50 to watch these. It’s 50 coins a reel. Absolutely ridiculous if I wasn’t so invested in the show I wouldn’t have. I won’t be purchasing anymore.

Google play refundes me today the charges I had made surprisingly. So if you use that for subscriptions online and payment methods thro Google ID def start there. You go into your Google account and payment/subscriptions option. There should be a option to review charges,subscriptions payments and anything you pay for by card there. Click the one with a issue and follow the icon to request a refund and OR cancel subscription payments immediately with a refund of recent charges they took if any. 9 out of 10 Google reviews it in 2-4days and chances are they approve refund. Hope that helps some!
