Lost money *2025-03-02* I watched up to episode 14 and it started doubling the sound making it hard to watch then as soon as I purchased $20 worth of coins it refused to playback anything and started giving me errors. ### 1/5 — No weekly or monthly charges available *2025-03-01* Most apps have a weekly or monthly charge. This app does not, and coins are extremely costly. I would not recommend downloading. ### 1/5 — Horrível *2025-02-18* Verdadeira fraude para arrecadar dinheiro ### 1/5 — 실행안댐 *2025-01-21* 실행앙댐 ### 1/5 — App don’t even work *2025-01-13* Every time I play a drama the video doubles itself and when I pause the sound keeps playing this app as horrible ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — ポイント代が高すぎる *2026-06-01* ふざけるな。 ### 1/5 — Ruim *2026-04-02* O sistema de recompensa é horrível. Fica impossível assistir sem pagar ### 1/5 — Você paga muito caro. Falam que é para uma semana. MENTIRA! Você tem que ficar pagando o tempo todo. *2025-11-10* Péssimo. ### 1/5 — Pessimo *2025-08-16* Ruim não desbloqueia ### 1/5 — 너무 비싸고, 영상 재생 오류가 심함 *2025-07-16* 영상 연속으로 볼려면 가격대비 너무 비쌉니다. 차라리 일주일간 정액권 같은게 있으면 좋을꺼 같습니다. 영상 재생할때 이미 지나간 화면에 대한 음성이 같이 나와 영상에 집중이 안되네요 이건 볼때마다 문의를 넣고 해도 바뀌지가 않는 거 같습니다. ### 1/5 — Suscripción *2025-06-21* No ay opción de suscribirse y eso de estar recargando es muy agotador y no saber cuándo será el último episodio pagado ### 1/5 — Very expensive do not see it *2025-04-29* Very expensive, you can pass the chapter and in no time you need to recharge ### 1/5 — アプリが落ちる *2025-04-19* ドラマ視聴中エラーが起きやすい 気がついたらアプリ落ちてる。 全体的に不安定な仕様なのだろうか？正直使い辛い。 ### 1/5 — 高い *2025-04-17* 1w等の見放題が無いので料金が高く購入しにくいので、暫く待って他サイトで無いものを購入する方針 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-04-13, version 1.0.2* Se traba demasiado es desesperante y después de ver un video de casi un minuto no da la recompensa, decidí no intentar comprar tampoco y eliminarla después de unos cuantos minutos ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A heart’s quiet exit: vanishing after betrayal *2025-04-04* Only gave it 5 to be seen. I’ve been trying to watch this drama for 3 weeks I finally gave up price to high short episodes not enough rewards to watch for free so I’ll wait to watch it on another app like DramaBox Kalos or sereal are way better than this app. Each episode is 75 rewards are 7 and no chances to unblock by watching adds ### 3/5 — Caro *2025-06-18, version 1.0.3* Parece tener contenido interesante y eso es una lástima porque los capítulos son caros y hay muy pocas recompensas por anuncios, no alcanza ni para un capítulo diario. Y las monedas también están mucho más caras que otras apps. ### 3/5 — Falta de suscripciones *2025-05-24* $5 por 6 capítulos? Están locos. En 60 capítulos hay que pagarles mucho. Hay mejores aplicaciones es donde por $5 me inscribo una semana y veo todas las novelas que quiero. ### 3/5 — Needs subscription service *2025-03-01* This is a good app but the reason why I don’t use it cause it doesn’t offer weekly or monthly subscription service like the other ones I use I think that’s the only reason why I’m not using it add a subscription service with reasonable prices and I’m sold ### 2/5 — One of those apps too greedy for money *2025-02-27* Other apps similar to this one offer weekly or monthly subscriptions to get access to all the videos. This one however only offers individual purchases. Plus each episode costs 60 coins. And 2000 coins costs $20. Meaning to watch a show with 80 episodes I need 4800 coins. Meaning over $40 for just one show. Not worth it at all when I can watch as many shows as I want for a week on a different app for half that price. There are 2 shows on this app that I’m eager to watch and have already saved them for later. However if this app stays like this and keeps being so greedy I trust that the day when I watch those shows will never come. In case the app owners haven’t realized it yet let me spell it out for you. We are currently in a time where people’s finances are barely struggling to keep up with their lives. You think people in their right mind want to spend $40 on something that is just gonna last a few hours and spend more for any other show they want to watch ???? When I have bills breathing down my neck. The app is basically a money guzzler and only affordable for medium - high wage earners and barely at that. ### 2/5 — Los capítulos muy caros *2025-02-05* Dan muy pocas monedas --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
