### 1/5 — Fraud

*2026-08-30, version 5.11.0*

Company will keep
Charging subscription fees even when you cancel

### 1/5 — Why No Yearly Option?

*2026-08-29*

First off, I don’t like how we’re prompted to leave a 5 star review the first time we ever open the app. What am I rating exactly? Secondly, why isn’t there a yearly option? I like watching verticals and I have a few subscriptions to them but I pay for them yearly not weekly or monthly. I was looking forward to watching some of their dramas but I guess not anymore

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for taking the time to share this - we really appreciate the feedback about the review prompt, that's genuinely helpful for us to hear. We're also sorry the dramas ended up feeling out of reach because of this we do actually offer a yearly subscription option, so if you didn't come across it, we'd love to help you find it and answer any questions. Just reach out to us at support@shorts-drama.com, and we hope you'll give the app another chance.

### 5/5 — I don’t even each tv now been watching these

*2026-08-28, version 5.11.0*

I love them

### 5/5 — Please continue what you're doing!

*2026-08-19*

I think another recent comment I read is mistaken on which app they intended to review, as they were complaining about the use of AI over real humans. I have yet to see a single AI release on the Shorts app, which is why I'm leaving this 5-star review! In the vertical universe, it's getting harder and harder to find apps that aren't overrun with AI slop. I'm so thankful that you guys have stayed true to the real human creatives involved in these productions, and I hope that never changes! I've been canceling a lot of my annual VIP subscriptions because so many apps have begun churning out nothing but AI garbage. Shorts is one of the few I'll gladly continue supporting so long as you keep giving me real human content! Please don't ever cave to the pressure in the vertical world to go the lazy, AI route!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're so glad to hear you appreciate our commitment to real human creativity — and we're happy to say we intend to stick with that! Your support means a lot to us, and we'll keep doing our best to bring you genuine, human-made content. Thank you for being with us!

### 3/5 — Ai Writers

*2026-08-17, version 5.10.1*

Can the writing be consistent, remembering names, spelling errors

### 5/5 — Super

*2026-08-17*

Ok

### 1/5 — Real Actors over AI

*2026-08-16, version 5.10.1*

The trend to crank out AI generated stories instead of employing live actors makes me want to delete your app and not pay for any more content. Please go back to using real actors and producers!

### 3/5 — Log in

*2026-08-11, version 5.10.1*

I have an account for my android but it’s not letting me log in on my new iPhone for some reason and it’s not sending a redemption link why

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-07-31, version 5.10.1*

Love the shows

### 4/5 — Three out of 10

*2026-07-30, version 5.10.1*

I just don’t like how you make us pay for tickets and stuff just to watch episodes that’s why you got a three out of 10
