Paid but still can’t watch the episode
So today, I.e. on November 23, in India, it was showing that you can pay ₹599 and can watch 20 episodes without any adds for 7 days. But I still can’t watch the episodes without the add. I’ve made the payment but I don’t know why is the provision not being available . I was watching The Double life of My Billionaire Husband.
Please look into the matter as I’ve paid the full amount already.

Bonus doesn’t unlock episodes
I downloaded reelshort app on friday 10th November 2023 and I was claiming my bonuses and doing my daily task to collect bonuses. The app claims that the coins and bonuses can unlock episodes but after doing my daily tasks for extra bonus they didn’t work to unlock more episodes.
So gutting as I am just on the last few episodes of “the double life of my billionaire husband” which don’t allow me to watch ads to unlock the episode for free.
Desired outcome: Would like to actually have my bonuses unlock episodes
How can I replay episodes?
I am upset with the bonuses, I went on it today it said I had 1075, but when I did the bonus for the day it went down to 915 Whats up with that? Also the story ended without an ending.If this is not fixed I will delete it.

ReelShort App
This morning. Sunday November 5, 2023, I paid for 500 coins for ₽463.44 ($4.99), which ONLY GAVE 1 MINUTE OF VIEWING THE "MOVIE," and says I have 31 coins remaining. What the heck is this stupid app and whose bright idea came up with this crap?! THIS IS A RIP OFF! I don't know who the developers think wants to watch 1 minute reels rather than a movie in its entirety, but MOST people want to watch it from start to finish. Some of us are not of the generation that gets bored with things that require our attention for longer than a minute or two. This is the most ridiculous app I have ever had the misfortune to see.
Claimed loss: 500 "coins" for $4.99 + tax
Desired outcome: FULL REFUND!!!!
app stopped working
I am trying to watch a free add, it is not working. I also want to watch another episode, the app stopped responding. October 23, 2023 at 2:14.
Desired outcome: Want my service reconnected
Watch ads for free content
I am not given the option to watch any ads to unlock the next episode for free. I originally had the app for two days and on the third day I was forced to use coins to unlock the next episode. So I deleted the app in hopes it was a glitch. I even waited a few weeks. I just redownloaded the app and I am still not able to watch an ad for free access to the next episode..
Desired outcome: I would like to see that the watching an ad option is available ALWAYS! Don’t advertise an app as free IF you watch the ads, but then take the ads away. No longer a FREE app.
Same thing happend to me
Coins
I bought more coins to watch the short reel about Sebastian klien with the husband of two lives. It said that the 500 coins costed $4.99 but it’s almost $50 I want my money back! I bought the $4.99 because it’s cheaper but it’s expensive and I was over charged! I wanted to finish the first reel I did because it got interesting but I ran out of options for the day I was not able to watch an ad to watch it for free. I was expecting to get charged $4.99 not almost $50!
I saw the app on Facebook and I wanted to give it a try. I downloaded the app. I seen that I can watch an ad after every video was done to watch for free. I got very invested in the story of my husband with two lives with Sebastian klien and Natalie. I wanted to purchase only 500 coins for $4.99 to go fast till the end since the drama was getting interesting. I saw that the 500 coins was for $4.99 and I got charged $48.11. I’m not happy about this as I was wanting to spend $5 not $50!

I'm getting an error of:
You seem to be using a proxy service. Please turn off these services and try again. For more help, please contact customer service.
1. I have no proxy services
2. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling
3. There is no way to contact customer service. The ok button doesn't even work.
4. The issue has only occurred since the update.
Coin cost
I decided to buy coins to keep watching the movie I purchased 1000 coins for 9.99 and was charged $30.88 instead. I would like to be refunded the difference as I would have never purchased if I would have been charged much more than the asking price. I below have attached the purchase history for date 8/27/23 and my banking charge that I was charged instead. Please get back to me.

I want to cancel my subscription. Too expensive and just way too much. Cancel it. Cancel. I wanted to cancel before the free trial was up. But u guys conveniently don't have a place on ur site to cancel. Ok well this is my 4th attempt to cancel my subscription. It was around July 21st. The first time I tried contacting u. I want my subscription canceled
Desired outcome: My subscription canceled
I was hooked on this "free movie" until.....
I was willing to watch the 1 minute episodes and the 2 minute game ads as I was hooked to see what happens at the end. Since this is advertised by Apple and Google as *free movies" I got to the last 5 episodes and couldn't wait to find out the ending only to find out you have to pay for the supposed free movie. I now will never know how the story ends. I've deleted the app as it's a rip off. Don't advertise something as free when it cost's at the end.
Thank you.
I’m the same! Downloaded the app as the ad on Facebook said “no hidden costs” and “watch for free”. 5 from the end and they want £10 for each episode of a minute long! What’s the point! Total rip off. Deleting the app
Feel the exact same as you. Wish would see the end of the store, going back to Whispers.
Full of adds that are even longer and paying still isn’t an option
This is ridiculous. I pd 15 bucks for 1800 coins and can’t even get through one whole serious! In order to get through it u have to have over 3500 coins which is more than 30 bucks! That’s insane! Movie theaters are cheaper, hell even the streaming services have better prices! The books that go along with these stories are even cheaper! Get it together and stop scamming ppl! It should NOT cost that much for a 60 min story line! It’s not worth it! Free adds suck when they are just as long if not longer than each little 1-2 min video. U would spend 1.5 hrs watching ads just to get 1 hr of story line. Get it together REELSHORT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU SUCK!
Adds
July 15, 2023. I waited a day to watch adds and it still says I have to wait another day. Meaning, I downloaded the ReelShort app on July 15 and now that it is past midnight on July 16 (it is currently 2:10AM July 16) it still says that I have to wait another day to watch more adds for free coins. Please resolve this issue and allow me to watch adds for free coins because I have waited the necessary time.
Desired outcome: Being able to watch adds for free coins as soon as possible
It's past midnight and it doesn't allow me to watch ads to unlock next episode
Real short real expensive
I was interested in just a quick show but instead all I got was a long experience with way to many adds. In many cases the adds are just as long as the short episode.
To avoid the adds I tried purchasing the coins or credits. That barely allowed me to watch one show.
Extremely disappointed.

Wow shady to say give us a higher rating and we’ll be motivated to fix the problem. 🤦🏼♀️
Well that was a shady response. “Give us a high rating even though we don’t deserve it so we can trick more people into the same bad experience that you had.” Would be a more honest way to say it.
Don’t bother unless you want to pay more than a theater
Literally you only get 1 minute or play time, then you have to watch an ad. You only get 15 ads a day or you have to pay. I thought the whole reel was the coin amount, paid $4.99 and only got to watch about 6 parts. Complete waste! Then if you make it to the end of the pasta the last few parts are pay/coin only. Complete scam!

Just-no
The ads are about half as long as the clips (60 second clip, 30 second add). Once you get near the end you MUST pay to see the ending. Acting is ok, story is ok, but predictable, add time stinks, watching all those adds just to get to the end and have purchase the ending is what made me decide to delete the app. Bleh, do not recommend.

Sucked in then can't finish
You get sucked into a story. I didn't mind the ads. But I have to pay to finish the last 4 scenes of the story? There's no way to do more ads. You have to pay to finish the story after getting invested. Guess I'll never know how it ends. I feel so cheated. If this were to change I would have given 5 stars. Right now I wish I could give 0 stars.

Not worth it
You get 30 sec videos with 20 sec ads in between each episode, so lame, they are making a ton of money on ads and they can’t make the video longer? The story’s have terrible actors but the plots are okay. I had to delete the app I got Netflix, Hulu, HBO and more that I pay for no ads. I would rather pay that then watch 20+ ads to finish the story out. So disappointed
