There’s no weekly or monthly subscription which is already dumb, but I can get past that, but the price of each episode skyrockets the further you get into your show. It was almost 700 coins per episode before I decided to cut my losses on a show. Save yourself some money and frustration and go somewhere else. There’s plenty of better options. ### 1/5 — RIPOFF!!!!! *2025-03-29, version 1.1.2* Nothing but a sham!!!!! 2 episodes for 24.99!!!!! I will never come back……. ### 1/5 — More like Bite Me! *2025-03-24, version 1.1.2* I subscribe to dozens of these type sites to watch shows. This is the only one where you can spend over $100 and not get to then end of a 70 episode “Bite” Other apps offer a week access of all shows for $15-20 or $30 for a month! And the shows are just as good. ### 1/5 — Rip off! *2025-03-24, version 1.1.2* The episodes are already expensive from the start but go to 245 coins per ep once you reach ep 30. I wish I had read the reviews before paying £20 to this app but they will not be making more off me in the future ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2025-03-24, version 1.1.2* Keep raising price each episode. You’ll end up spending over 100$ for 1 drama ### 1/5 — ripoff *2025-03-24, version 1.1.2* wish i would’ve read the reviews before getting the app the increase amount in coins per episode is crazy, I have done coins apps before this one is by far the worst one ### 1/5 — TOO EXPENSIVE $$$$$$&&& *2025-03-22, version 1.1.2* There are quite a few good shows but it cost too much . There needs to be a weekly ,monthly or yearly subscription available like most of the apps . ### 1/5 — Too Expensive *2025-03-21, version 1.1.2* I would not download this app. Way too expensive but the end of the drama. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Expensive *2025-03-20, version 1.1.2* I enjoyed the story that I watched, but it was very expensive like $150 to watch 71 episode episodes that’s just absolutely crazy ### 1/5 — Outrageously expensive try Kalos instead *2025-03-13, version 1.1.2* I downloaded the app because of a storyline I was interested in.. at episode 48 out of 75 I started getting a pay window every couple of episodes. I’m about 55 episodes in and am already at $60+.. definitely not worth it. Many apps like Kalos have weekly subscriptions for about $15.. definitely has quality shorts without breaking the bank. I’m killing this app at episode 56 since I’m not willing to spend so much for so little! ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2025-02-24, version 1.1.2* This app is way too costly! ### 1/5 — RIPOFF *2025-02-23, version 1.1.2* Do not fall prey to their con job! It will cost you $100 to watch a movie! AVOID THESE RIPOFF ARTISTS! ### 1/5 — Unnecessarily expensive *2025-02-21, version 1.1.2* I want to use this app more but the costs are way too high. They don’t offer plans at all. My recommendation is if you see a show you want to watch, wait about 1 to 2 months. It will be released on a more affordable platform. None of their content is exclusive. ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2025-02-13, version 1.1.2* Episodes started off at a fair coin price but about every 10 to 15 episodes they would increase by 50 or more not worth it! ### 1/5 — Episodes get more expensive as you go *2025-02-13, version 1.1.2* Starts off at 50 for an episode and ends up at 520 coun an episode!! Good show but no way I can afford that! Complete scam!!! ### 1/5 — Don’t even download *2025-02-07, version 1.1.1* Ripoff app charging you thousands of points to unlock an episode. I don’t recommend this app! And this app is costing over $100 to finish a story. ### 1/5 — Worse app ever *2025-02-05, version 1.1.1* This app takes your money and give you one episode. Don’t buy it. Awful ### 1/5 — Shocking *2025-02-03, version 1.1.1* The cost of watching these is a disgrace, what your charging for these I don’t pay as much on Netflix over the 2 years will be deleted. ### 1/5 — Today de[s]cide to love you. *2025-02-01, version 1.1.1* Too expensive, the episodes get more expensive as the story progresses. Started at 48 coins per episode and by the middle of it they were charging 446 coins PER EPISODE!!!!! ### 1/5 — Ripped off!!! *2025-02-01, version 1.1.1* I paid $75 for coins only end up watching 30 episodes out of 60. This app is one of the worst apps for short dramas followed by heatshorts and shortswave apps ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dance of Scars *2025-05-13, version 1.1.4* Stupidly spent $30 on a drama that wasn’t even complete! Do not recommend. ### 1/5 — The Ultimate Betrayal *2025-05-10, version 1.1.4* Rip off. Spent 0ver $50/not even halfway and asking for or money. ### 1/5 — Becomes predatory *2025-05-08, version 1.1.3* This app is predatory in its monetization. Just 1 show can set u back a lot of money. It gets worse the more episodes that show has. 35 dollars for just 7 episode is ridiculous. There should be a pay for weekly, monthly, yearly to watch all shows like other apps. ### 1/5 — Worst *2025-05-04, version 1.1.3* Entirely too expensive ! ### 1/5 — Short film *2025-04-18, version 1.1.3* I have been watching short films for the past year.. this by far has been the worst app of them all!!! They rip you off. I have NEVER used 343 coins to unlock an episode. They wait until the middle of the show and jump for 69 coins to 300.. just a heads up this is not even worth the download! ### 1/5 — Excessive Charges for Episodes *2025-04-15, version 1.1.2* This has to be one of the worst apps to watch dramas. Even with a weekly subscription you would still need to spend an exorbitant amount, just to complete 1 series. ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2025-04-01, version 1.1.2* Wish I read the review before . They are literally scamming people and because the episodes are on Auto Unlock you don’t know you scammed until all your coins are gone. It start of reasonable until you pay 500 up on an episode. DONT DOWNLOAD!!!! ### 1/5 — Robbed *2025-03-31, version 1.1.2* Pay almost $100 dollars and still can finish the drama I was watching ### 1/5 — Pay $200 for a show *2025-03-29, version 1.1.2* Charge you 800 coins to watch the later episodes and doesn’t allow you to skip. You literally have to spend $200 for a show. ### 1/5 — To expensive *2025-03-29, version 1.1.2* They need membership options weekly, monthly or yearly to access all show episodes without having to purchase coins ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love in the Mist! *2025-01-11, version 1.1.0* Too expensive! I spent 70 dollars but i can't complete or finish a movie... you have to pay more money. Ridiculous! ### 5/5 — Fun stories *2024-12-22, version 1.1.0* Fun stories. Entertaining ### 5/5 — Essential cell phones *2024-10-23* I tend to watch TV dramas with hidden identities and supernatural martial arts styles, as well as TV dramas similar to 90s American daytime TV dramas, hoping to release more similar plots ### 5/5 — Nice drama *2024-05-14* I really like the female character of being the beloved wife. She is so touching and pretty ### 3/5 — Too expensive *2024-12-09* This app is good but you can’t even watch 3 episodes with $10. That too expensive. ### 2/5 — Don't do it! *2024-12-30, version 1.1.0* So biteplay I paid for the credits witch makes it my possession, I should be able to use them the way I want! For example I want to skip 4 episodes to get to the point, should be able to do so, don't restrict episode skipping! ### 2/5 — Watcher *2024-12-23, version 1.1.0* Good stories but way too expensive ### 2/5 — Content great, pricing is a scam *2024-12-10* No other app prices are as aggressive as this one. Do your self a favor and find any other app that offers the same content. It. Is not unique. ### 2/5 — Watch out *2024-10-20* The episodes get progressively more expensive as you go. The dram was good but I have to stop before I finished because I had already spent $70 and could justify spending any more. Couldn’t find a subscription or any other type of discount. This service is a money pit. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
