I am so frustrated! Before the update the wait between videos for daily rewards was 30 seconds now it a minute. I check in daily and try to get my bonus coins and watch ad after ad after ad and then don't get the coins for watching the ads!!!! I am so close to uninstalling this app. The stories are great but I am not willing to make in-app purchases! Also, now all the bonus coins are the same amount at 15 and that to me is ridiculous! Fix it to the way it used to be or I will be removing the app

I've been watching Reelshort for a few months now. I really enjoy most shows, and have patiently watched as many ads as necessary to complete every story (over 20 now). I'd award 5 stars but.. I'm SO DISAPPOINTED in the new update, that reduced available ads from 5 a day FOR EACH STORY, to 5 a day in total. While I could watch several stories, now I can only watch one. PLEASE, return to the previous system, 5 ads per day, per story. It becomes boring if it takes too long to complete a story.

After seeing ads for this app, over & over, & a short clip in the storyline, I very much wanted to know how it ended, so I downloaded the app. I didn't want to spend $19.99 to watch, so I opted to watch the horrible adds & only get to see a few clips a day for free. I made it to clip 60, & now the app will not allow me to finish the story WITHOUT buying coins. Extremely frustrating! Yes, I would love to know how the story ends, but I'm not paying for the last few clips after all those commercial

I actually enjoy this app, but recently, I've been having a lot of problems when trying to claim my daily video rewards. The ad will start and be playing fine. Then about halfway through the ad, a pop up from the app will say "video ad not loaded, please try again later." The ad plays all the way through though with no problems but I don't get my reward. Fix this, I shouldn't have to watch 5-20 ads for one single reward.

The app claims that these reelshorts are for those short on time to watch full movies... yet.. you spend almost a half hour watching ads to get roughly 7 episodes. It also does not unlock new episodes daily like other similar apps does. You are forced to either buy coins or watch ads to continue on. ( Neither option go far) Once I am done with the series I started, I will be deleting the app. Claiming that you don't have a monthly subscription isn't really a flex...uninstalled

This app needs serious work. Spent 10 minutes watching ads that should have given me enough points to watch 3 episodes (at barely a minute each). But instead, it started with an episode it already showed me 3 times and still deducted the coins, so I was only able to watch 1 new episode. Time to delete this time waster and frustrator of an app.

I've been watching one story. Admittedly, I have not paid the $20/WEEK for unlimited. You get credits for watching an ad. and then see one more episode of the story for each ad watched . However each "episode" is maybe 2 minutes long, and what I find annoying is that it seems like half the episode you watch is from the previous one. Total of 5 years episode/ads per day, I believe. This could be good, if you have the money to pay each week. I have other things to spend my $20 on.

5 stars for the actual content and shorts, but it will take forever to finish one unless you spend $19.99 a week to watch unlimited. I've done this twice now, and some of the movies I watched would have the same clip back to back. If I was watching with credit that would really make me upset because it would be a waste of my credits to have to skip the same scene again.

I'm going to give the app 4.5 stars. I started watching when I kept seeing ads for it. Yes it's frustrating to get to the end of a series and not have enough coins to finish it. It would definitely be better if I could just purchase a whole series without the ads that are so annoying. The choice of series is varying and interesting especially if I want to view a Korean drama.

Paid wkly subscription for unlimited episodes, was watching a story, subscription ended, I was brought back to the 1st episode, and all episodes I watched were locked again. Their response: Please note that once the VIP subscription expires, any episodes that were not unlocked before the subscription period would require re-unlocking. The episodes that have been unlocked with coins/bonuses are available for permanent unlimited viewing. Why buy a subscription then.

Honestly with seeing a good chunk of a "series" through an ad I said screw it I'm intrigued.... yea after the countless ads for these like barley 20 second videos I was over it... didn't even get to the part where the ad left off at before I needed money to get past the part I needed to get past. I understand your called reelshort but damn don't make your app name so literal. Not worth it. Honestly!

I really like the stories. Really hate the pricing. $20 a WEEK for unlimited!!! Other streaming services offer full length features, for the whole family, for less than $20 a month. Just doesn't makes sense to spend so much watching stories snipped into one scene vignettes. Oh, and you can earn coins by watching ads but that will only earn about three or five "episodes" a day, depending on daily rewards and cost of each (which varies).

It's ok.I wish the videos were edited better. The cost is ridiculous at a weekly instead of a monthly since there isn't a good choice of videos. Same stories repeated maybe different actors. You will complete all the videos in two days time before anything "new" arrives. There is no subscription tab but it is offered yet rarely works. If you pause the sub, you can't turn it back on when something new arrives.

This app sucks. Uninstalling ASAP. 1. I'm not paying to watch something 30 seconds long. 2. It keeps notifying me that there's a new episode and then it plays the same one over and over and over again no matter how long I'll wait. 3. And then they want to constantly try and get me to buy these stupid in-app currencies to finish the stories. Total garbage I'm good thank you. The previews on Facebook actually run a lot longer than the actual short itself in the app. Fail.

Okay stories. Very short episodes that cost a lot of coins. You get so many free coins and episodes if you watch ads but then you have to wait for a long time to get more. Not really worth it. The coin package you can buy are expensive and not worth buy considering the cost of a single episode vs the amount coins in the package. I do not recommend this app unless you seriously have nothing better to do with your time or money.

Only gave 2 stars at the moment because would like to see if any changes are made to make me want to keep the app. If so will come back to review again. Really like the stories, but way to many ad's. Ad's are longer than the chapters when you hand to watch them to continue. Price of almost 20$ a week to be able to watch unlimited is way to high of price for me. Need lots of coins to be able to use them to keep reading, and very hard to earn to get enough.

The stories are okay, and I like the fact that you can watch ads to watch the whole movie. The issue I'm starting to have is the ads used to be 30 seconds or less but, lately the odds have been a minute long or longer. That is ridiculous to watch a clip that's only a minute and a half long and then watch about a minute and a half long of ADD. The movies are not that good to justify it.

The story is great. A little predictable, but the actors and actresses are very good What is not great are the ads. I don't have the money to pour into seeing episodes, I watch Five ads and see five episodes. The episodes range from 30 seconds to 90 seconds. The ads run one minute each. They are repetitive. The same ad, three times in a row. If I didn't install it the first time, I am not going to install it the second or third. The four stars is for the story. Not the ads.

For 10 minutes of ads, you get 5 minutes of show PER DAY. After that, there's only a really expensive streaming price of $200 a year! Insane! No montly option, but $20 per WEEK! That's all 4x what it's worth. The stories are interesting, if very low-budget production value, but way, WAY OVERPRICED! I'm going to finish watching the one show I started and then delete the app.

I watched the ads, and it says o coins and 64 bonus coins but will not let me skip ads!! I do not mind watching ads to skip, but when you can only watch so many ads and then can not skip any more and have to wait 19 minutes to watch a one minute clip, it's bs. I like the story content, but it's just not worth watching!! This app seriously needs revamped! Longer story time, fewer ads, or more ways to skip through ads. Are you losing lots of customers and lots of negative customers!! Change it!!
