Paid $8 to watch only 5 minutes 😢 ### 1/5 — 1週間で3000円！高過ぎる！ *2026-07-31* ドラマが広告に出てきて、つい観ていたら最後まで観たくなり登録。 1週間3000円のサブスクと気付き、翌々月に解約をしたが高過ぎてビックリ。 アカウント削除しました。 ### 1/5 — episodes *2026-07-28, version 3.25.0* 140 coins per episode ### 1/5 — Deceiving *2026-07-22, version 3.25.0* I decided to pay for sgd 3.88, i thought it is a day pass but then after two episode it suddenly asked me to pay for a week pass! Misleading! I regret paying! Stick to shortmax, vibeshort, dramabox guys. ### 1/5 — What a scam!!!! *2026-07-18, version 3.25.0* Still getting charged 24.99 A WEEK for service I cancelled weeks ago. Continued charges to my Apple Account which are then refunded so they don’t look bad to Apple. I have already complained repeatedly to Apple and they say they can’t do a thing!!! Don’t do business with these crooks!!! It’s the only way to make them stop!!! ### 1/5 — 最低 *2026-07-17* 勝手に1000円引き落とされた💢　何故？　教えてよ‼️ ### 1/5 — Takes too long *2026-07-16, version 3.25.0* It takes too long to get to the end of the story is when you don’t pay for the extra coinage I think it should be for everybody to see that just for people who have the money to pay for some of us don’t have money I would like to see the end ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-07-14, version 3.25.0* I downloaded this to watch a short that popped up on Facebook. I took the special offer to subscribe however there isn’t a way to cancel after. I’ve emailed the company with no reply at all. It’s not showing in active subscription. So they get to continue taking money with no way to end it. Not impressed. ### 1/5 — Do not subscribe *2026-07-13, version 3.25.0* I cancelled Playlet March 7, I am still getting charged and it’s easy to unsubscribe but it’s hell to get them to stop taking your money out. ### 1/5 — 流れてくるドラマの広告で… *2026-07-10* いきなり首吊りしてる女性の出てくる映像。 あれ、ほんとにやめてほしいです！！！広告で、ああいうシーン流すってどうなの…。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Another one of those *2026-08-26, version 3.27.1* It’s just another one of those apps where the ads are way way longer than the actual episodes themselves and there’s just too many ads you gotta watch just to watch a damn episode. ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-08-13, version 3.26.0* 3 minutes of ads just to watch 30 seconds of the show!😡 Almost not worth it. 3-4 sentences, and abruptly quits for another ad!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Okay *2026-08-12, version 3.26.0* Yeah the stories are okay, but to watch each episode it’s SUPER expensive compared to other apps I use. Costs 140 coins per episode, others I use cost 30-50 coins, defo won’t be subscribing! Will be deleting the app now. ### 1/5 — コスパ悪い *2026-08-12* 1週間の値段高い ### 1/5 — Hard do stop subscription *2026-08-12, version 3.26.0* This app basically traps you with a subscription. Once you set it up it will not appear in your subscriptions on Apple and it keeps charging me an international fee when paying. DO NOT USE THIS APP!! ### 1/5 — 高すぎ *2026-08-11* １週間6000円、1年32800円w どんな商売www ### 1/5 — 課金かかるやん *2026-08-08* 何がお金かからんって。ドラマ見たくても結局探し回っていいとこ見つけると削除するけど。 ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-08-08* I really enjoy your dramas — the stories are excellent and very addictive. But honestly, the cost is far too expensive. You make people want to keep watching, and then charge so much to unlock the next episodes. This feels unfair to viewers. Please reduce the prices and make the dramas more affordable. If the cost was reasonable, many more people would happily pay and continue watching. Great dramas, but the pricing needs to change! ### 1/5 — サブスク解除に注意 *2026-08-07* iPhoneのサブスクリプションには表示されず、このアプリ自身のプロフィールの詳細から解除できます。これに気づかないとお金を支払いし続けてしまう状態になるので、注意をしてください。 ### 1/5 — 詐欺？ *2026-08-05* 広告見ても解除されない。1日目は広告見たら解除されてたのに次の日から解除できなくなった。何度も複数の広告見させられて時間を大量に使って全く見れなかったので諦めました。こんな会社に広告出してる所にも腹が立つ。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super *2026-08-14* I like these episodes related to fantasy ### 5/5 — 確認 *2026-08-12* 面白い ### 5/5 — Nice application *2026-08-09, version 3.26.0* I like this application ### 5/5 — Alpha *2026-08-07, version 3.26.0* Super ### 5/5 — Good Serie *2026-07-31* 10\10 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-30, version 3.25.0* Awesome ### 5/5 — BIG CHAMP CIE👌 *2026-07-22, version 3.25.0* 💕🏆💕 ### 5/5 — Drama *2026-06-26* J’adore dommage que ces payent ### 5/5 — Player videos *2026-06-09, version 3.23.1* I really love this one 👍👍 ### 5/5 — Dramas *2026-06-06, version 3.23.1* Great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
