Et nous travaillons avec des studios professionnels de doublage ! ### 5/5 — J’adore cette app *2026-07-22* Les séries sont vraiment bien ### 5/5 — Anime *2026-07-20* I like the storys ### 2/5 — Mid *2026-07-20* Honestly its good, free and has okay varieties but the problem is that its filled with unknown love animes **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! Yes our portfolio is almost exclusively based on romance fantasy series. Some are adaptations from Asian Best-sellers stories, like The Archduke's Adopted Saint or Satan's Bride! ### 1/5 — Déçu *2026-07-18* Alors je l’ai trouvé avec des pubs en disant que WEBTOON et Crunchyroll ne voulait pas qu’on tombe dessus. Bas alors là je suis déçu. La qualité et les histoires sont du style dessus cite shoe drama. Des histoires un peu bateau très peu pour moi. Aucun intérêt. Je suis fan de manga et d’animé mais pas la. Trop facile d’inciter les gens ou faire des coups de pub alors que c’est pas la vérité. Je reste persuadé qu’ils pourraient être plus honnête au lieu de mentir. Bref pas du tout pour moi **Developer response:** Merci du retour ! Notre catalogue est composé quasi exclusivement de romance fantasy - on a parmi les plus connues en Asie. ### 4/5 — Finished series? *2026-06-09* Hi, I discovered this cool new app while looking for animated webtoon to bingewatch. Does this app have a finished series I can check out, or tell me which one is the closest to final episode? **Developer response:** Thank you! Our service was launched very recently in April and all of our short anime are exclusive, this is why most of our series are currently in season 1 as there have just been released. However, we are committed to produce and release seasons with high velocity. The most advanced series currently is the Adventures of a Demon King's Daughter - season 3 is being released tomorrow! You'll soon have 150 episodes of this amazing story! ### 5/5 — Une app pour les fans d’animé *2026-06-08* Très bien conçue et avec beaucoup de contenu très quali je recommande fortement ! Hâte de voire la suite ! ### 5/5 — Love it ! *2026-05-25* I love how the app points you in the right direction to choose your favorite anime .. it’s very easy to use and to enjoy the anime videos 👌🏼 ### 1/5 — Looks good but app is shady *2026-05-22* Scam don’t bother subscribing. First off I was offered a 3 day free trial. It took me less than 1 day to realize there wasn’t enough content to justify subscribing so I canceled it on day two less than 24 hours after the trial started. Only 23 days later be charged for it. I am so angry right now how Scammer can you be now as for what I have issues with an app. Apps say 1000+ episodes means they have about 30 ish stories available non of the story lines are finished. I was very frustrated that they all just seem to cut off. And the. You get a pop up saying you finished the story and giving recommendations for your next watch. I watched every one I could and it lasted 1 day. The videos would freeze after too many episodes. To fix this, I would have to shut the app down and then open it back up. Some pretty major function bugs. Also, with a lot of these you get the thumbnail for the videos, but no description of what it’s supposed to be about or how long you just open it and go. I don’t wanna play the video before I know what it’s about. The few tags they give for each are not enough. Overall, I like the idea I like a lot of the graphics , but the app is flawed the executions flawed, and none of the stories are finished which frustrates me greatly. When I read something or watch something, I want there to be an end ending and they’re just isn’t with this app. It’s sad **Developer response:** I don't understand your comment - we just released the service and we already have 30 series available, with new releases every week. For most of the series only season 1 and/or season 2 are available, but it's the same with every series you'll watch on Netflix or Crunchryroll, when it's released there is only one season. In a few weeks for instance we'll release the season 3 of Adventures of a Demon King Daughter even though we debuted our service on April 8th, so we are fast. And then why do you say it's a scam because of free trial? Thanks to free trial you were able to watch all the series you wanted without being charged. If you were charged even though you cancelled your free trial then it's a bug on Apple Store side and be sure we'll reimburse you and offer you a free yearly plan. You can contact us via the form on the app or directly at operations@flagcat.studio. Edit: this person never contacted us! ## Frequently asked questions about Shortcat ### What kind of anime does Shortcat offer?
