Look at the application name, it’s called FreeShort, when I wrote this. However the application wants money or buy a package in order to continue on watching. This application should be banned. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback!

I just really want to keep watching the show I was watching. ### 1/5 — Just stops working *2025-10-29, version 2.3.4* Get to episode 8 stop to sign in and bam refuses to work, load or anything ### 1/5 — App doesn’t load or work at all *2025-10-25, version 2.3.4* The app doesn’t load or work on wifi and it barely loads while you’re using your data. ### 1/5 — Messed up app *2025-10-07, version 2.3.1* Can’t log it. Cant see the benefits. Cant watch a drama series. App keeps crashing. Ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Keeps charging when cancelled *2025-09-01, version 2.2.0* This app is a scam. I’m continuously being charged, even though it shows it’s been cancelled. Customer service will not respond ### 1/5 — Not free *2025-07-27, version 1.3.2* The developers should change the name. You MUST pay to unlock next episode. No watch ads as option, need to buy coins. ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2025-07-23, version 1.3.2* False advertisement ### 1/5 — not working *2025-07-03, version 1.2.2* not working ### 1/5 — Not good *2025-07-02, version 1.2.2* This app does not load at all now. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-06-20, version 1.2.2* Why name your app “FreeShort” if it’s not free? You can watch a couple episodes before they charge money. A ridiculous amount too! Around 19 dollars a month?! That’s more expensive than the bigger movie apps I have! Do NOT get this app if you don’t want to be disappointed. ## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 还不错！ *2025-08-29, version 2.2.0* 一开始免费的内容不多，现在越来越好！ ### 2/5 — App keeps going back to the beginning *2025-10-30* I was enjoying the storyline when I get to chapter 11 it asked for payment I committed submitted the payment of the 1999 and Linda app started over again at 11. This is very frustrating. This happened to me twice because the next time I went to chapter 45 then it stopped and went back to chapter 11 wasting my money and frustration when you know you paid and you're not getting the full coin amountstherefore it is hard to enjoy your storyline --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
