Great variety & genres!

ShortMax is by far one of my favorite drama providers to watch. However there are some small bug issues that need to be fixed. At times when renewing or purchasing my subscription, the service temporarily stops working. Even when I refresh / update / reinstall the app. This part is very frustrating. It’s happened twice now. Both times it took nearly a day worth of watch time from my seven day subscription. Which is a waste of money & another issue I had was when I tried to go onto the website & refresh the subscription, the website kept saying “cannot connect, please try again”. However apart from the very view minor bugs / issues with renewing the subscription/ processing payments (sometimes the payment doesn’t process until days after I’ve purchased & sometimes the payment is processed immediately) the quality and readily available genres are superb. This drama streaming service is top notch in my opinion. Bugs and any other issues can be worked out. There are always new releases coming out every day. I never run out of dramas to watch. This drama streaming service is absolutely worth the money you spend. You will always get new, fresh, quality, versatile, and an unlimited streaming supply of dramas to watch & it is worth every penny you spend on it.

So, I decided to go with their monthly subscription. Yes it is extremely pricey for $40 but I figured that would give me enough time to explore and see what’s going on. I do like cheesy stories and cheesy movies and I have noticed that they have several different shows, different actors same storyline but it does however, give me the chance to see who the better actors are. They should have a voting score for the actors. but anyhow I just wish there was a selection where I can go through watch a preview and hit Add to my list. They do not offer that. I have to actually go into the story and then go out of it. I do not like that.. and for $40 a month it should let you be able to cast to your TV from the app. also, I’m not seeing a huge selection and I would like to see a lot more. Considering this does cost a lot more than Netflix but again I do understand that these actors do this for fun and they still need to pay some kind of production. But I am seeing a few of those shows that are on here are on other shorts apps. and if they’re all the same company that does these, then they should include all the ones from the other apps on this one. It’s too confusing to have so many different short apps. but overall, I’ll give this a five star because I hate commercials and the cheesy entertainment is kinda awesome but most likely will not stay on the subscription. I will have to cancel and go back whenever I feel like I want to watch it again because it’s not something that I’m going to want to binge watch every day. if it was like 10 bucks a month, I would totally keep a monthly subscription. again, like I said, I understand production cost, especially being low budget.

The stories are great, BUUUUT

I got this app not too long ago and have really been enjoying the stories. BUT, the thing that gets to me is the price of the episodes and the limited chances to earn more coins. The episodes are 45secs-1min long and can cost as much as 60 coins for an episode. You also can’t check to see how much the episodes cost before you start watching. You only see the amount once you’ve run out of coins and the app wants you to buy more. You do get the daily bonus of either 25 or 30 coins depending on the day you’re checking in, and there’s 6 chances to get an additional 25 coins each by watching the 6 ads/day. That comes out to about 3 episodes if they’re 50 coins each. And sometimes the ads are longer than the episodes. Again, the stories are great and i understand that they take money to film, but having to buy coins when you’re sucked into a show for a 45 sec episode is a bit much. I know the smaller packs aren’t unreasonably priced, but the amount of ads you get as you’re watching back to back is crazy, even with having coins available. I think 20-25 coins per episode max across the board would be more reasonable considering that’s what you’d get from the opportunities to earn coins. 3 stars because i like the stories but am not made of money lol. At least let me see how much the episodes are before i get into it!!

Good Shows but Not Very Userfriendly

The 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.
