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 — Addictif ! *2026-02-18* Dans le bon sens du terme. Mais je dois attendre le renouvellement de mes coins maintenant !! #writers ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — You literally need a subscription to use the app not worth your time *2026-08-14* Bad app **Developer response:** At some point artists need to pay their rent no :D? ### 1/5 — Tout est en ia et payant *2026-07-22* Les histoires sont animées et doubler par l’ia tout est payant hormis les 5 premiers épisodes de quelques séries, à fuir **Developer response:** Tous les dessins sont faits par des artistes, nous utilisons uniquement notre IA propriétaire pour aider lors du processus d'animation. Et nous travaillons avec des studios professionnels de doublage ! ### 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. ### 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! ### 1/5 — AI slop WATCH OUT *2026-05-12* don’t get fooled, they will say they “hire artists” but use Ai to animate, so why don’t u hire animators? Like artists that ANIMATE anime?? How can Ai animate anime? generating animation is generative Ai use and it should be marked as such like in gaming. even on official company Instagram you steal Naruto and AI animate it wtf… they should sue you. couldn’t believe it and then they charge for it be fr paying for ai slop scamming people. don’t believe they hire real artists, they would never agree to working with Ai slop company. unless these are “AI artists” that can’t make any actual art **Developer response:** We currently have 50+ artists working on various productions: illustrators, storyboarders, animators (our animators use AI to help but still comes from animation schools), video editors, sound designers, voice actors. Take our series Vampires in Paris - it's more than 20 artists in total who worked on it. What we do has nothing in common with AI slop, all our anime series are official manga/manhwa or novels adaptations. ### 1/5 — Anne *2026-05-12* Hello, I just downloaded this today because I was so excited—since I love anime—but it won’t let me continue. It says they analyze everything and prepare my watchlist, which is ready, but it’s so big that I can’t even see the button to go ahead. It’s been a couple of hours, and it’s still like that. Can you please fix it? I’m really excited to try it out. **Developer response:** Hi Anne, Thank you for reaching out and for your interest in the app. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing a display issue preventing you from continuing. To help us investigate and fix this, could you please provide your device model and OS version? In the meantime, you may be able to resolve this by temporarily reducing your phone's font size in the display settings. For further assistance and to track your request, please visit our support page here: https://tally.so/r/dWEpbo We will do our best to get this resolved quickly so you can enjoy our app. Best regards, The Shortcat Team ### 1/5 — Just like all the others *2026-04-11* It was good because we can collect coins everyday and after a number of days you got like a bonus of more coins for logging in so many days but then they added a watch an ad for free chapters but it always said coming soon and never actually worked. And then I don’t log in for 1 day and now it’s a subscription app. No thanks. Delete. **Developer response:** Hello ! Sorry but producing Anime is costly and coins model is unfortunately not working enough to make it work. We'd love to give more free content but it's not sustainable. In the end, we believe the sub is quite cheap for only exclusive series. Hope we will see you back one day :) ### 1/5 — Ils utilisent de L’IA et essaient de le cacher *2026-03-21* L’utilisation de l’IA se voit à des kilomètres et ils essaient de le cacher. C’est malhonnête. Il y a peut être des artistes talentueux dans cette boîte, mais elle est tenue par des commerciaux véreux sans éthique ni morale. **Developer response:** On ne le cache pas, les dessins sont faits à la main et l'animation à l'IA ! ### 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! ### 3/5 — Questions *2026-03-30* For now, I haven’t really gone too deep on this, but I think it’s gonna be really good. I wish there was more stories though and also I really need to know if they use AI I really hope not because this would be really good and amazing but I’m gonna try it out and come back and find out more about it **Developer response:** Thank you!! All the drawings are done by hand and during animation process, we use some AI to help. But it has nothing to do with the AI used to generate videos from text prompts and stealing art, we are totally against it. We use some specific AI during animation process as it's extremely long and costly. But it's still many real artists (Writers, illustrators, colorists, animators, voice actors, etc.) involved in the production of each anime! We will publish many more series soon, hope you'll like it :) ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — J’adore cette app *2026-07-22* Les séries sont vraiment bien ### 5/5 — Anime *2026-07-20* I like the storys ### 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 !
