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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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"

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?!

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)…

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

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 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.

Do not download this app although on tiktok the storyline is engaging , they dont let you skip episodes , on their tiktok it showed 20 episodes of a season and i downloaded the app so that i can see the rest didnt let me skip to 21 and once i got to 21 the ads that i was forced to watch finished for the day only 20 ads for the day , seriously i just watched 20 ads to get to the episode i left off at in tiktok for them to say nope come back tomorrow? So annoying don’t download it will save u the disappointment and frustration!

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.

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?

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.

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.

Reel Short. That’s how much you get to watch before you watch an ad for more. The acting is horrible! The story version in Chapters was way better. I’ll see if I can get through this story then probably delete it.

Update: can’t do it. The short amount of time you watch, part of it is a ‘preview’ for the next part. So like.. 20 seconds of the show, and 10 is a preview for the next part. You watch a 30+ second ad and then you get 20 more. But 10 seconds of it was what you already saw in the preview!

I’ll give this app 2 stars only because the concept is good. But that’s stretching it. I’ve seen better ‘acting’ in ‘adult films’.

I thought I would give this a try. The idea of short stories sounded interesting. However ended up not worth it at all. You can watch for free if I watch adds. It’s annoying as the adds are just about as long as the episodes are and you only get 15 freebies a day. I start my first story and I get to the last 4 episodes and I still had 12 adds available but it no longer gives me the option. My only option to watch the last four episodes is to buy coins to watch. Well if you are going to force people to buy episodes just charge per story that we watch and be done with it! Don’t waste my time watching adds if you are only going to make me pay anyway! So I uninstalled the app!

I bought some coins in the beginning. It got me through 3-4 clips. Paid mora than I would for a whole Amazon or Hulu movie. You can watch 30 second ads (up to 15) each day. But if you’re willing to wade through the ads once you get to the last few clips, even if you still have ads left for the day you can’t continue unless you buy coins. It’s a cute concept but it’s just a big money grab. I’ll hang on to it just to see if I can watch the end with ads if they ever fix that. But I’ll only wait a week or 2. If they don’t fix it I’ll be deleting it. And no, I won’t be giving a higher rating to “motivate” you to do the right thing. Once you do it I’ll give you the rating you deserve. For now I recommend people don’t waste their time of money on it. Good luck.
