ShortMax - Watch Dramas & Show for Negative User Reviews
✓ Overpriced, low budget clickbait. If I could give half a star I would.So you take an angsty romance story line, get some pretty looking people to act it out (badly), break it up into 80 to 100 sections of 2 minutes or less and charge people a dollar or so for each ‘episode’. But hey they can pay $40 to watch the whole thing. SUCH a bargain. Alternatively they can watch 5 episodes per day for ‘free’ if they watch an add for each of those episodes. Nevermind that the adds are actually LONGER than the episodes most of the time. Despite the bad acting and low budget some of these shows are ok. If you like angst and drama then they might be fun. Even a bit addicting. But for that amount of money I could see a well made movie at a cinema AND buy snacks. Or I could pay for Netflix and Stan and watch as many movies and tv shows as I like for a whole month. This is swill just isn’t worth the price of admission..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Like the context but crazy priceI have tried 2 services now like this, but this one is very very expensive. It shouldn't be more than $20 to watch a whole short series- equivalent to renting a major movie (even that is expensive, but let’s agree it’s expensive to generate the content). I think I had to pay $30 and I wasn’t to the end. Agree with all the commentary that you have no in-app guidance on how you are burning down what you’ve paid for. I cut myself off as it doesn’t feel like an honest service. Agree also that the episodes are “conveniently” drawn out..Version: 1.7.2
✓ The coins situation is insaneYou’re telling me if I end up using all my coins I won’t be able to watch another 10 seconds episode for a week or two. Like what is that? No one seems the mention the terrible acting which honestly is fine the stories are still cute but the fact that we can’t even watch 2 episodes without spending all our coins. Makes you lose all interest in the story. I don’t know how people are getting by with this it’s actually annoying. So you can’t enjoy the app unless you spend real money. Because you guys wanna make the price of the episodes 82 coins. Like not even 10 or 15 which is more reasonable but 82 then have the nerve to say $10 for 1000 coins when in reality that’s about 10-12 episodes outta a 90 episode story which like I said would be worth it if the episodes weren’t 5-10 secs long. I don’t i guess others like this app but honestly I’d rather stick with “episode” it’s a kiddy app but at least it’s more reasonable than this.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Not so happy but could beTrying to binge one of the shows and already paid to unlock episodes. Now it’s not loading and not letting me click to the next episode. There are a lot of bugs. First off the episode before’s audio will play while trying to watch. It won’t let you click on the library to the next episode or slide. No matter if you close out the app, restart your phone, turn WiFi and data both on and off, use only data… nothing. The bugs are driving me crazy… but I already paid $25 to unlock the episodes. Fix your bugs or give me my money back please. 🥺.Version: 1.7.2
✓ GlitchyI don’t know if it’s me or the app. but i’ve done have thing i can think of to stop the glitching but i just kept glitching and nothing else was glitching besides the app. i was really excited.Version: 1.7.1
✓ SubscriptionGreat movies, however, Consider Introducing weekly, monthly and yearly subscriptions which will allow users to unlock unlimited movies for a week, a months and a year depending on their preferences.Version: 1.7.2
✓ II’m not going to lie I really love this story but the coins aren’t even worth it anymore because they are just so expensive and they don’t even let u pick the story of the the one u was watching I was on number 14 in the story and then I left the story to buy some coins to go far with the story but then the story went back 3 and would not let me get back to were I was just wish it was a way u just pay for the hold movie instead of the coin.Version: 1.7.8
✓ If have patience you can watch by just getting ads. Pretty ordinary actingConsidering the quality, the cost for episodes whether bonus points or paid is way over the top..Version: 1.8.1
✓ AnnoyingYou can’t watch shorts without spending real money in app for coins or watching an INSANE amount of ads. (It takes 85 coins to watch one episode and they give you 5 coins per ad ….) Each ad is 1-2 minutes long and also constantly tries to take you to the App Store to download other stuff. I feel like 2 ads should get you an episode. Also, when you go back in the app, it starts on the previous episode you watched and it takes any coins you do have. This app is a waste of time unless you plan on spending real money…and a lot of it..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Good!It very nice, just a couple of things I’d like to see you do differently. 1. Make the dramas longer, like 8 minutes. 2. Can you also make it so that we can keep earning coins to keep watching? I currently listen to pocket FM and they make it easy to keep watching videos. They let you keep watching videos to earn coins but stop after you get like 100 coins, then you have to stop for an hour. After an hour you can watch more videos and build up your coins. I like watching dramas but if I can’t keep earning coins and they are only a minute long, it’s really not worth it..Version: 1.5.3
✓ My opinionGood shows but having to watch 5 ads for short skits are pissing me offffff you get bonuses to watch ads if you run out of ads you go to bonus’s and they give you free money.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Need to fixThe first episode was 3 minutes long and also free after 10 adds then said pay money to earn points to watch for free but also the duration of video got shorter and shorter, the last video I pay money to watch was only 52 seconds long….like what the heck, I waste money just to buy 1000 points but they gave me 52 seconds..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Why is short tv goodI believe ShortTV is good because it lets me watch fun things and it’s free, but a downside is the fact I can’t watch the episodes continuously because I have to have coins.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Stories are abusive and trashyI’m not a huge fan of drama to begin with but these stories portray disfunctional people and relationships, abuse, and show a twisted version of “love” that is reminiscent of a telenovela. The subtitles are often incorrect. The app will often not credit you for watching an ad to unlock the next chapter but take one of your 5 for the day. The writing is awful. The characters are just so one dimensional that it hurts. 90% of these can be found online for free. The clips are about 20% of the screen time with all the advertisements. This app is complete garbage and the developers should be ashamed of themselves. I gave you a 2 star because the app rarely lags..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Annoying but cannot stop watching 🤣How to get coins is annoying. The alternative is to buy which costs the same as renting a blockbuster so that’s out of the question! You get to see some episodes then it goes back as if you haven’t seen it so losing out on the earned coins. The principle of the stories are nice enough and entertains as and when.Version: 1.8.1
✓ RebornNice 👍.Version: 1.7.0
✓ Cost hundreds to watch one shortI'm disappointed for how much it costs for one 'episode' of a short. It's 85 coins which is basically a dollar. If the short your watching is 90 episodes your going to spend a fortune trying to watch it. I paid $50 thinking of that should be enough coins nope. Didn't even get me half way through the short. Very disappointed. An actual movie doesn't even cost that much to go buy!.Version: 1.7.2
✓ AdvertisementsI don’t mind watching a commercial to watch a chapter that would be a fair trade, if the clip was the same length. but the cost isnt equal to that. Chapters cost 84 points and you only gain six from watching one commercial. I understand you want us to buy chapters, but for the price you charge I could buy a whole book. And every so often an extra add will play through and that won’t give points and then I’ll have to watch another to get the points. I like this for the most part. The stories are pretty good so please if we do have to watch ads, fix the point scale cuz it’s way off..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Terribly addictiveI can’t even believe I’m watching this show on here the acting is awful 😂 but the story is excellent so I keep watching. I don’t like that the shows cost so much to watch. I’ve started just using the free episodes/commercial views to watch because my show has 90 episodes and at 60 coins per 1.5 min episode it’s not at all affordable it’s more expensive than my regular cable subscription. Also ads are sometimes just as long or longer than actual show episodes..Version: 1.6.6
✓ Do not downloadWorst app ever, do not bother trying it. You only get to watch a few episodes and then pay an arm and a leg just to get more coins and watch the worst acting and story line ever made. Total waste of time. I would give it -10 if I could..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Shows are okay but the app is too expensiveTT gets you hooked to a story for it to cost 50 dollars to watch about an hours worth of episodes in the app. Id probably pay to watch if I could just purchase the whole short story for 5-10 dollars but the fact that it’s almost a dollar a minute is outrageous. Id be fine with watching adds to progress also if you could watch more than 5 a day. The town I live in I could pay 5 dollars to see a movie in theaters that was just released and that is a way higher quality of content than these are. These shorts are not worth what they’re charging to watch them..Version: 1.7.2
✓ So. Many. Adds.You can’t even open the app fully without hitting at least 2 adds and god forbid you miss the ‘x’ the first time or you will get the pleasure of watching it again. I don’t mind watching adds to earn free episodes but you guys take it to the extreme. It really impacts the user experience and I would not recommend this app..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Lost everything from old appI accidentally deleted short tv and went to download it, only to find it’s changed name a couple of days ago. It won’t let me link my account, my purchases have vanished and I can’t read stories if nearly finished without going through it all over again. Not impressed anymore.Version: 1.7.9
✓ I love it but too much coinsI love this app but this app cost too much money and I’m just trying to enjoy the movies cuz they are spectacular.The movies are amazing and I love them but 60 coins for each episode?Thats too much in my opinion so I was wondering if you could make them abit cheaper.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Unlocking episodesThe shorts are interesting. This is a good app if you have the money to continually spend on coins to unlock the episodes. The app offers bonus coins to earn by watching ads. It will unlock maybe up to two episodes per day. However, for the past 3 days, it has only “unlocked” episodes I’ve already watched, and I cannot get any further in the stories. I’m not interested in spending a ton of money on shorts, so I’m thinking about deleting the app. Which is too bad, because I was really interested in seeing how the short would end..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Enjoying the story but….You can only get one one minute episode a day if your lucky. Unless you pay extortionate prices for coins to use. Not worth that cost and too many adverts to just watch a minute. Might just watch the one story the. Delete..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Too expensive?!!Don’t get me wrong the shows are good. But it’s way too expensive for what you are getting. Maybe it would be better for a monthly plan? I would happily pay so much a month but have access to more..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Recaps take too much time off next 1 minute episodeFar to expensive for each episode and recaps of previous episode takes too much time off the next 1 minute episode. Ads are hard to get out of if wanting to use for free episodes. Great stories but you have to spend so much money to get through the series if you don’t want to watch long ads for the free episode..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Why do I have to spend money to watch the advertisement?I spent my money to purchase this. But I still have to watch an advertisement. I will never use this app again. I do not recommend to anyone to get it.Version: 1.8.1
✓ FrustratingYou have to watch a 1 min ad just for like 30 seconds of the actual show.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Good storiesTo much for episodes.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Decent to many ads and they charge me for the episode I already watchWhen I first started looking at this show I was like I need to finish it. So, I look at the coin's cost and they are kind of high compare to other apps that are like it. They don’t have an option to unlock all episodes for a 7 days for 20 or 30 dollars or even a coins price to unlock all episodes. When I receive my 300 coins to to watch 6 episodes of the show I wanted to watch bad I was only able to watch one episode each episode cost 50 coins. The app spent it on 5 episodes that I already watch for free..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Short tvI love the stories but it freezes a lot and when I bought coins to unlock it skips episodes. Like I can watch 6 then will skip 7 and watch 8 then you confused to what happened before that. I don’t like that. If I am going to pay to get coins to unlock episodes I want to see all of them not just some. Spending 15 dollars was a waste of time since I only got to watch ever other. It’s shows they are unlocked but won’t let me watch them. Can you all please fix this problem..Version: 1.7.1
✓ ExpensiveThere is not a lot of option to unlock episodes for free. You can’t get enough bonuses in 1 day to unlock even 1 episode of a short. There are other apps where you can watch ads to unlock 5-10 episodes for free and get enough bonuses for 2-8 episodes on top of that. Would be great if there were other options like this. Otherwise it LOOKS like it has good shows but couldn’t say for sure as I refuse to spend $50+ to watch one..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Unfair. ShortMax is awfulThis app is horrid. I get why people say this app is not user friendly. I want to watch all the episodes but only get to watch 5 ads before watching the episodes and I'm sure even if I had a credit card, I would still get ripped off. PocketFM and Sereal is much better than ShortMax. PocketFM unlocks episodes each day for people who can't yet pay to unlock as many episodes as they want. Sereal does have a limit on how many episodes can be watched with ads but let the users who can't pay them yet, watch episodes with ads each day. Unlike ShortMax..Version: 1.8.0
✓ DisappointedAlthough what I was watching was interesting. After paying 9.99 and to only watch a limited amount of 1min videos was very diassapointing. When purchasing I understood it was an unlimited one time purchase. Not aprox 1/2 hours worth of clips. At least let the series complete for 9.99.Version: 1.6.8
✓ Ads or pay moneyYou either need to watch ads or use real money to buy credits to watch the episodes.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Only works if your a paid subscriptionThe app would better if you could earn more coin different ways then just watching videos !! Plus I did say something about be stuck on the same video for the longest time and wasting coins I did earn and no one got back to me. The works for those who pay into it that’s it if you want to free videos daily then it glitchy and no support will help you if you aren’t a paying subscribers..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Short storiesEasier to get coins to finish the story and longer stories..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Good Shows but Not Very UserfriendlyThe shows are good and some are awesome; however, the app isn’t very user-friendly. Some examples of why it isn’t very user-friendly are, 1-there isn’t a clear button to add a show to your personal list, 2-the episodes open without you selecting to open them so you can see how many coins is needed per episode nor are you alerted when your coins are being used, 3- you aren’t aware of when you’re running out of coins because you have no control of when a locked episode will unlock while watching and 4-the TT app gives you a view of 10 epis which is great for deciding if you want to watch it on the Short app, but on the app you are buying about 3 episodes that you have already been able to view which seems strange. You would think the app should start unlocking with the 11th episode instead of the 6th or 7th episode. Though I get it takes money to produce the episodes, there should be some awareness indicator or step in place so viewers know when coins are being used or when a locked episode needs to be unlocked to give viewers the choice to use their coins or sample other shows at their leisure. The pros are the 1-voice-overs are good translations to English, 2- there are a lot of shows to select from to watch, 3-the prices for coin packages is reasonably inexpensive for the smaller packages..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Incredibly over priced.Way too expensive. The shoes are good is you want to watch one over 10 days so you can watch 5 episodes for free. For one show it’s $80 so a total rip off. Other apps similar to this are way better priced but still expensive. They do weekly subscriptions of $30 for any shows on the app or $180 for the year for any and every show. I think this app would be way more successful if it had a better pricing system..Version: 1.8.0
✓ GoodWell done.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Love the story’s hate the pricesI am currently watching 7 different dramas at once because you only get 5 free episodes a day watching ads in between each 1 1/2 min episode. I really wish you had a subscription fee. 3 other platforms shorts that I watch have a weekly subscription ; ReelShort; DramaBox; and SnackShort! I would stick with them permanently but I an already interested in the shorts you have. This really should be an update. The coins are far too expensive to pay for and I won’t do it. I would definitely give 5 stars if you just had a better way to watch the dramas..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Money grab, low qualityThey charge 19.99 for 20 minutes of content. For that same price you could get a month unlimited subscription for Netflix or Disney, or go to the theater and get popcorn! Why would anyone pay for one movie more than 80$?????.Version: 1.6.9
✓ Don’t do itWorst app I have ever downloaded. The storyline is dragged out so much it becomes annoying to watch. I actually wanted to just skip to the end but you can’t you have to purchase every single episode. it’s 50 coins to watch each episode and There’s 75 episodes. 1000 coins is $20. so they wanted you to pay over $40 to watch this crap. Yes one ad that you watch equals 50 coins but I rather not watch 75 ads to complete the story. Sorry not sorry. I pay less than that to watch a movie that was just in theaters a week ago.. This is absolutely, laughable. Let’s not even talk about the fact that each story takes forever to load and sometimes the app even freezes causing you to close the app and reopen it in order to watch finish watching one episode..Version: 1.5.3
✓ Needs some improvementI hate the new update the episode watch number has went from 8-15 to 5 it’s really just not worth it anymore. Plus there are to many episodes to only be able to watch 5 per day. It would also be great if the could raise the amount of bonuses you get in the bonus ads because the episodes cost like around 50 coins to unlock and you can only get 46 when watching the bonus ads so it could really be improved..Version: 1.6.5
✓ Really enjoying!Watching short films after seeing ads on Facebook, it’s great to get 5 ‘free’ clips a day (after watching an ad), but I would definitely spend more time watching ads if the limit was not 5..Version: 1.7.9
✓ Insanely ExpensiveSo far it’s cost me $26.00 to watch 28 episodes. There are a total of 189! They are only approximately one minute long. So it would cost well over $100 to watch one complete movie. Terrible dubbing to English as well. I just don’t understand how people are willing to pay this outrageous amount. Even if I was a billionaire, on principle alone I would never pay this. I feel stupid enough being suckered into purchasing 16 episodes, which I thought would take me to the end as the total number of episodes is not obvious unless you really look. Also, no weekly or monthly version, just the opportunity to pay $129.99, and it’s unclear what exactly that would buy you. I could take my entire family out to the cinema for a new feature with A list actors for less than the cost of one cheaply made movie on ShortTV. Also, interesting to see that the creators/owners cannot be bothered to respond to comments. Likely too busy counting their money earned from unsuspecting customers. Oh and one last thing, you may only watch up to five ads per day to unlock five episodes. You will spend about 10 minutes watching ads to unlock 5 minutes of content. Unbelievable!.Version: 1.7.2
✓ The app is ‘Meh’ at bestI’ve tried watching a series I saw off of TikTok and the first thing you are greeted with is an insane amount of ads. The minute you load the app you are hit with an add. Another thing is the price of unblocking an episode, how is a few seconds of a clip worth +50 coins to unlock. Even if you watch the adds to unlock more episodes it’s going to be super slow, the rewards aren’t even substantial. If you are lucky you get maybe two episodes from watching +10 ads..Version: 1.7.1
✓ A fan xShould give out more free coins or free episodes ‘watch ads’ with a limit.Version: 1.6.6
✓ Better than someSome of these apps only give you 5 adds to watch and then your daily limit is done, no matter how many shows your watching. These guys give you 5 per show. It’s better. Pricey to thinking of paying for coins but still better than others..Version: 1.7.9
✓ Love itLove the stories and the app only wish the clips were longer then a minuet still love it and you had more ways to get coins with adds.Version: 1.8.0
✓ 3.5 starsI wish you could get a longer episode and more coins at check in.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Bonus coins disappearI watched a bunch of ads yesterday and had 85 coins, but today they’ve disappeared - I couldn’t have used them because nothing is that cheap, you need hundreds of coins for basic access. The content is okay but not really worth the time or effort to get there by watching ads, and purchasing coins is very expensive - £10 for what’s effectively 10-15 minutes in viewing time. I’ll probably keep it for the 5 episodes you can unlock daily but not bother with coins from now on if they disappear after 24 hours.Version: 1.7.2
✓ CringeworthyCheap production with half-assed acting. So-called “actors” are actually Russians and other Eastern Europeans residing in China. Source: I’m an expat living in China and I know a couple of them. In fact, some of them could be international students, working illegally. Aerial shots with haze of pollution are unmistakably China, too. They look and act exactly like it: bored and desperate international students, waiting to get paid. Am I going to? Nope..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Get rid of the money gamesGet rid of the money games.Version: 1.8.2
✓ Not goodThis app is useless, 1 minute shorts just to reel you in for more. First episode was good then 59 seconds to a minute is not worth my money or time. Not recommended. I brought the 300 points and it only gave me 2 videos. What the heck. Waste my time and money!!!! Make it free if you can’t provide good service!!! Not happy with this app.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Could be better…You shouldn’t have to pay or watch an add to watch the next part. Other then that it is ok.Version: 1.6.5
✓ Buyer beware !!!Had issues with my account signed out and tried to sign back in. No way to sign back in. I sent feedback and that was fixed but I had bought coins and they didn’t credit to my account. I have emailed numerous times any now no one will even email back. I have spent a lot of money on your site and it’s terrible customer service to not solve this issue. Also buyer beware I bought coins to finish a series. I should have had enough left over to start another one. It took all the coins I had and I also had to email about that. I wouldn’t use the buy enough coins to finish the series. It’s a rip off. Had they fixed my coin issue and not taken my money I would have given a good review. As I am posting this still not resolved..Version: 1.8.1
✓ Robbed MeI bought a top up for 1445 coins I was watching a story I was on episode 24 when it was time to switch to 25 it asked me to unlock the previous episode, which makes no sense since I was already watching episode 24 so that would make it unlocked when I looked at the calendar of episodes all the episodes were locked back to see if it was just a fluke as it scrolled through the episodes it took all my money for a second time I will not be buying another top up only for this scam of an app to take it again I enjoy watching the stories, but I do not enjoy being financially taking advantage of this is something that needs fixed. There is obviously a glitch in the app. I would appreciate it If you can help me recover my coins so I can finish the story I was watching however, if not, no love lost I will just uninstall the app and move on with my life and watch drama box or one of the other apps..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Titles are interestingInterested and captured pretty quickly..Version: 1.8.1
✓ GoodSo expensive tho.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Money gone too quickI recently downloaded this app because it seemed like a fun way to enjoy stories. But I realized you needed coins to continue so I bought some but I would only make it through about 4 or 5 “episodes” before I would need to add more coins and they were not cheap. So I reached out to customer service because I was not satisfied with having to spend $20 every time I wanted to watch a few “episodes” and they told me that because “I already paid I would not get a refund for not being satisfied”. I normally do not leave reviews but this is bad customer service. A customer is not satisfied with your product and they do not even try to make it better. They just tell me they have my money now and there is nothing they can do..Version: 1.7.1
✓ Interesting content the cost per episode is insaneI really like some of the shows be the amount of money it cost to watch an entire show is ridiculous.Version: 1.8.1
✓ Good to kill timeSome of the fantasy stories are great and good to watch but some of the others are just a waste of time. The amount of violence against women in these movies isn’t believable as no one would treat anyone with such disregard in this time. When it comes to medical matters the characters of the story dictate to doctors who to save and what treatment. In one story a doctor allows a child to die over another - this would never happen. I watch to kill time when I’m bored . i wouldn’t recommend to anyone.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Stories OK but expensiveStories are easy to follow but there are not enough opportunities to gain points like 5 min viewing , 10 minutes and so on . Only visit once a day and watching adds.Version: 1.7.2
✓ More free coinNeed to get more free coins and more free episodes or get them with add.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Too expensiveFar too expensive - episodes are too short for their price and half the time the acting definitely isn’t the best Double or triple the length and half the price and then it would be almost reasonable.Version: 1.7.1
✓ Short videosEach video is really short and the next video always plays a little bit of the last video. The price is expensive but when I’m bored I watch them anyway. I see clips on social media and then I decide to go a pay to watch the rest. I have noticed that many of the different apps like this one have the same actors and are the same story line. So you want to pay attention to ones you have already watched so you don’t buy the same story line on multiple sites..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Rip offI paid 12.99 for 1500 coins.all it did was reshot me what I already viewed then 3 extra new views. 😡.Version: 1.8.1
