Dark subscription pattern

Charges via Apple Pay on the website (not Apple subscription) and makes it extremely hard to find “cancel membership”. Apple Store needs to review their subscription service and force them to enable Apple subscription only.

ADS are ridiculous and £9.99 per week subscription!!

Don’t be tempted to download this, the ads are ridiculous, approx every 30 seconds and the ads last longer than the actual movie clip you get to watch!! Unless you’re willing to pay this ridiculous subscription, you will not be able to watch anything for long without enduring the ads making it totally unwatchable! This made me extremely frustrated and I would never download any ad associated with it now in principal, I’ve now deleted it!

THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY

They deserve ZERO STARS. I canceled my account after two weeks due to the exorbitant cost ($16.99 A WEEK!!). After cancellation, they charged me again anyway. I confirmed that my account showed cancelled, then went into my iTunes account and my Apple Pay account to ensure nothing was authorized as a recurring payment. There are zero authorizations. I even removed my payment method from them entirely to prevent any additional unauthorized charges. And yet they STILL keep stealing money - and even worse, they raised the amount they’re stealing to $18.99 a WEEK. It’s highway robbery. I’ve done everything I can to prevent further charges and yet they are still somehow managing to. I contacted their help desk, and all I get is an AI bot that keeps reminding “our company does not make unauthorized charges” and will not do anything about it. I will be talking to my bank and attempting to get the charges reversed. DO NOT GIVE THIS AWFUL COMPANY YOUR MONEY!! They will ROB YOU BLIND!

Demeans and degrades women just like all the other vertical drama apps

Why am I paying money to watch women be demeaned and abused in these dramas?

Watch ads or pay

This app sucks it sucks you in then wants you to pay to watch a little short video then makes you watch an add longer than the actual video clip

Amazing

HoT AS HECK !!!!!!!

Was problematic

These are stories you can watch during a subway ride. But it wasn’t worth the money. It’s $20/week. Too much for such a small story. The story I saw had issues.

Over pricing

I love the stories. I really love the characters, but episodes are extremely short and cost per episode is too much. The option of winning coins is a great idea, but you don’t get as much as you should. The videos for coins is normal for other sites as well, but I wish episodes were a little longer, and you didn’t have to pay as much.

AI

too many AI things now

My reviews

I cancelled 6 days early but they still charged me the next month and they also charged me $25 to cancel my $11.99 subscription.

Free

Make every single episode free

Disgusting

I watched one storyline and it was completely disgusting I cannot believe that it was allowed to be shown it crosses so many lines and completely triggered past experiences for myself, I try to use these apps to escape and make myself feel something better and be dragged in the mud. I watched the storyline so that I can actually report it better. No one should really be watching it.

App glitched

It’s very expensive. $19.99 per week. The app glitched out for 6 days. Kept saying unstable network. I tried everything including clearing the cache, deleting and reinstalling and using different networks there was no way for me to contact support. Money gone. The day after it started working again my week was up and it tried charging me again. Then it wouldn’t let me use the 530 coins I had earned to extend the membership 1 day because “I am not member”. How ridiculous.

The hook

Loooong Advertisement after every episode. I get it that there has to commercials but the commercials are longer than the episodes. The commercials are time hogs and I wouldn’t have wasted a whole instead of a few hours if I just watched a movie instead.

Storylines Are Really Good

The storylines are good. However, the AI, acting and dubbing need work. Switching between accents/dialects in the same or separate scenes is annoying. Pay attention to the scene and make sure the clothing, accessories and scenery is spot on.

Ads

I wish the episodes were longer than the ads

Good stories

But many repeated and many mistakes in action or subtle and more should clean up before releasing

Scam - they force you to research and use your credits

If you watch the reel on Facebook it will bring you up around segment 20. But when you open the app through the story reel you are forced to start at segment 8 and use your credits, or watch advertisements to get through the 12 segments you’ve already seen.

And no I don’t have multiple accounts. This is consistent and should be reported to Facebook for poor add management and dishonesty.

WE LOVE THEM

TH E BEST!!!! 5 STARS

All AI slop

Look, I know these stories are over the top and ridiculous, but I became addicted to them because the human beings in them made them still relatable. For the last few months this app has been nothing but AI slop. I watch mostly for the Chinese dramas, they used to have a great selection, now I haven’t seen one uploaded in weeks. I get that AI has become an important, but it shouldn’t be the only part of your app. I regret doing a yearly until February. I wish I could get the rest of my money back. I won’t be renewing.
