But it’s expensive. If it was 20 a month I’d do it as I’m sure everyone would. But 20 a week is a little extreme. That’s 80 a month to watch short films! ### 2/5 — :( *2026-09-04, version 2.63.1* Too many ads ### 4/5 — Good *2026-09-02, version 2.63.1* Shortswave is so funny ### 4/5 — Barb *2026-09-01, version 2.63.1* It won’t let me watch an ad to see content for free ### 3/5 — Ugh *2026-08-31, version 2.63.1* Too many commercials ### 4/5 — Some great stories *2026-08-29, version 2.63.1* As a few really good stories but I feel rather short change as sometimes I watch adverts I don’t get the reward coins - so frustrating considering how painful is to watch and click out of most of them! ### 2/5 — Nearly impossible to cancel *2026-08-27, version 2.63.1* The email you have to write to in order to cancel hasn’t responded in days…and they keep repeatedly trying to charge my credit card. Cannot recommend for this reason. ### 5/5 — nice *2026-08-27, version 2.63.1* must watch ads in later episodes to get coins ### 5/5 — Great stories *2026-08-27, version 2.63.1* Easy to access price reasonably ### 5/5 — Good app if you into fantasy short episodes *2026-08-27, version 2.63.1* I like this app because I can watch ads to gain coins to unlock more episodes if you don’t have money to a pay for the VIP subscription, you can watch ads . ### 5/5 — M *2026-08-26, version 2.63.1* Great stories ### 5/5 — Buffs *2026-08-26, version 2.63.1* Gabby ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-09-05, version 2.63.1* Even if you pay, you still get ads. All AI generated content. ### 1/5 — Ads just to open the app *2026-09-03, version 2.63.1* I wish I could like but I’m tired of ads just to open the app. Uninstalling. ### 1/5 — Canceling Subscription *2026-09-03, version 2.63.1* I had canceled app by accident and tried canceling weekly $17.99 payment, but unable to, so I emailed ShortsWave multiple times and have not heard back ### 1/5 — Still getting….. *2026-09-02, version 2.63.1* No longer has app and still get billed 😟 ### 1/5 — After membership had expired, I continued to get billed. *2026-09-01, version 2.63.1* I signed up for a weekly membership in May, and then canceled the membership in June. My account was listed as “membership has expired”, yet I discovered later that they continued to bill and receive the weekly membership fee. I have sent emails requesting to be corrected, along with my money refunded, and have not received any responses. My bank won’t reverse the charges, or refuse future membership fees being paid until I can show them proof this app has responded to my request. I have emails, bank statements and timestamped screenshots proving my claims. I just love the screenshot of my account showing expired, then the next screenshot of my accounts “wallet” listing the past 4 weekly membership fees being paid. They only show the prior 4 payments, not all the payments. I’ve. Even charged $17.99 a week, for the past 10 weeks on an account listed as expired! Care to explain? And then, return my $179.90 you collected from me on an expired account. My last resort is to cancel my current card, and order a new one! Everyone knows what a pain this is and how time consuming and inconvenient of the whole process! It would be great if you could fix this mess and do the right thing! ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-29, version 2.63.1* This is the 3rd time I’ve paid and not one of the stories play ### 1/5 — Quiero cancelar suscripción *2026-08-26, version 2.63.1* Quiero cancelar suscripción ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2026-08-26, version 2.63.1* Says you can watch ads to unlock videos but after watching the ads, no rewards are granted. DO NOT DOWNLOAD ### 1/5 — The worst app for mini dramas *2026-08-24, version 2.63.1* I have a few similar apps and this one is a total disaster. Whatever you click, commercial pops up in a sec. This is just insane ### 1/5 — Still being charged *2026-08-24, version 2.63.1* I liked the app ok but giving it one star because I’ve sent 2 emails about still being charged after app cancellation. I can’t even use the membership I’ve been charged for. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Dramas *2026-09-08, version 2.63.1* Excellent ### 5/5 — Drama TV *2026-09-08, version 2.63.1* Awesome job. ### 5/5 — Alpha kids ng *2026-09-07, version 2.63.1* Great story ### 5/5 — Movies *2026-09-04, version 2.63.1* Good ### 5/5 — Excelentes dramas *2026-09-01, version 2.63.1* Muy buenos dramas ### 5/5 — Great! *2026-09-01, version 2.63.1* Enjoying show ### 5/5 — Love Them *2026-09-01, version 2.63.1* I always get sucked in.
