App stopped working this weekend. Apple login no longer works correctly, so my subscription and history are all gone. ### 2/5 — Coins *2024-11-14, version 2.7.2* How do I obtain more coins to continue watching a series? ### 1/5 — The monthly subscription is nothing!! Do not purchase! *2024-11-07* While movie content could be good, there is no such thing as a monthly subscription. Not if you wish to watch movies. You can absolutely give them money so you can pretend you have a subscription but that does not mean you get to watch movies certainly not unlimited. HUGE WASTE!! **Developer response:** We apologise for any inconvenience caused, could you please provide us with the email address you use to log in to Google? We will check this out. ### 1/5 — No way to watch without paying *2024-11-03* I have a quite a few of these Chinese drama apps, and by far, this one is the worst (even top-short at least has a bonus for opening their app every day) there’s only one show that caught my eye, but if I can’t unlock any episodes without paying, then why bother. I rather watch a 30 sec ad to watch an episode a day, than pay that much monthly for some cheap drama. Look into drama box or Sereal+ for better alternatives to this one. **Developer response:** Thank you very much for your advice. We'll consider adding the option of watching ads or checking in for points to unlock the show, giving users more options. Thank you for your feedback, we will strive to improve and provide a better service experience! ### 1/5 — Didn’t give me my coins *2024-10-07, version 2.7.2* Sent them several emails but no answer. Paid $29.99 but never got my coins. This app is a ripoff, don’t waste your money! ### 1/5 — Purchase VIP but cannot watch *2024-09-27, version 2.7.2* I had purchased a weekly plan but can’t watch. Keep asking me to join VIP! Despit Login and out a lot of times and refresh the orders. Still cannot watch! Check the purchase history and confirmed I had purchase the subscription. Pls resolve it asap ### 1/5 — expense,. *2024-09-22, version 2.7.2* no app is worth $100 for a show, ridiculous ### 1/5 — Coins disappeared *2024-09-18, version 2.7.2* My coins disappeared. ### 1/5 — Subtitles *2024-09-11, version 2.7.2* Paid weekly and STILL subtitles do not work !! No refund no one fixes the problem what a rip off! ## Frequently asked questions about HiShort ### What kind of content does HiShort offer?
