Low budget movies and high fees

These dramas are entertaining, the short episodes do hook you in too! But the amount of ads is insane! Add to open the app, add to start watching a drama, adds in between going to different parts of the app, ad if your screen locks and then you want to continue. These ads can be over a minute long! I’d have been tempted to buy a subscription but £40 for a month is too expensive, especially when there’s other apps which are more reasonable with their pricing. Cheapest would be a years subscription for £199 so approx £16 a month but that’s a big investment (especially in one go) for the average person like me. The first 5-10 episodes of a story are usually free which helps however, some stories have 100 episodes! As a consumer Surely a weekly pass should be closer to £10 and not £20?! I am reliant on watching the episodes through collecting the daily bonuses. Plus you also get 5 episodes extra through watching ads once your coins run out. The story episodes are all priced differently so it can very how many episodes you can access through the daily rewards. I think the daily reward is 185 coins which is about 3 episodes..So if a story was 100 episodes, 90 episodes needing 80 coins as an example it would take almost 5 weeks of using the app daily to watch it all! I would definitely subscribe if the prices were more affordable as there’s lots of choice but I can’t with the prices they’re asking for.

Scam, dodgy app it won’t allow you to deselect the options in consent to use personal data

When you click on watch an ad a window pops up with consent to use your personal data, then when you click on manage options and deselect all the options that are on including the ones in vendor preferences and then confirm your choices, it lets you watch an ad then an episode, then when you click on watch an ad to get the next episode the same consent to use your personal data pops up again, so I went through the same process and deselected everything and watched the ad then an episode and the same thing again the window for consent to use you data popped up again, I did this 4 times and every time the consent window popped up, so I did a test when it popped up again on the 5th time I just clicked on consent and didn’t deselect anything and now it doesn’t pop up at all, so the app forces you to accept them using your data if you want to watch any of their shows, otherwise you have to do the consent form every time you go to watch an ad, the whole point of there being a consent form is so I have a choice to refuse, but this app doesn’t like that that’s why it continues to ask you for consent until you accept them using your personal data, I will be reporting this as there is no point in them asking if they don’t accept that you say no, very dodgy app, I won’t be using it coz god know what they are doing with my personal data

Dear valued user, thank you for providing such detailed feedback; we take your observations regarding the product experience very seriously. First, we offer our sincerest apologies for the frustrating experience you encountered while using the "Watch Ads" feature—specifically, the repeated pop-ups asking for consent regarding personal data usage and the forced repetition of actions. You have the right to decide whether to consent to data usage; however, the app's repeated pop-ups effectively deprived you of the choice to say "no." This violates the fundamental principle of "informed consent" regarding data privacy and significantly disrupted your user experience. We fully understand your frustration and disappointment. Regarding this issue, our preliminary assessment suggests a technical glitch in the app's data preference saving mechanism, which prevented your choice to decline from being correctly recorded. Regardless of the cause, this should not have happened, and we are immediately escalating the issue to our technical team for investigation and a fix. To help us identify and resolve this problem more efficiently, we kindly ask that you take a screenshot of the issue when it occurs and send it to our developer email address: shorttv.service@shorttv.live. Your screenshot will directly assist our engineers in reproducing the issue and fixing the bug. We promise to follow up immediately upon receiving the screenshot and to keep you updated on our progress. Thank you again for your feedback and for holding us accountable. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or require additional assistance.

So I saw a 27 minute video on Facebook and thought “hmm interesting story, I’ll give it a try”. I could not be more disappointed in an app or Facebook community page if I tried. First of all, each episode is probably no more than 2 minutes long, and an add which pops up after every episode and before the next one is longer than the episodes!!! Seriously??? You cannot select an episode to start off with, so if you say the 27 minute video on Facebook, you have to rewatch the thing, wasting credits (admittedly the first load are free to view) but the rest are all locked. You can only get 5 free episodes per day upon viewing adverts. The cost of credits is atrociously high considering the terrible quality of these stories, the cinema doesn’t even charge this amount for a movie, or even a sub with Netflix! Come on guys!!!! It’s a pure money grabber and a terribly put together one at that. Upon signing up I was asked to link Facebook and all that and I’ll get free credits etc. so I did, why not. I was directed to a page ShortMax something admin’d by “James brown”, to which there was a post about suggestions. They did not like my short but polite suggestion of “I’d suggest maybe making episodes longer, have less adds, and reducing the cost of credits because it’s too expensive. And maybe allow users to choose which episodes that can start watching from”, basically. My comment was removed immediately. I rewrote it nicely and again it was swiftly removed. They clearly do not like confrontation when asked or questioned about these methods and is simply an unworthy choice. “Freedom of speech” is a thing, but they won’t allow it on their page, even when they asked for it. Shame really, they could be amazing if they wanted to be

4 star app, to 2 star for a very valid reason.Original review bellow, updated one- I have only ever done a subscription for ShortMax through Apple, in turn it comes out of my bank account as an “Apple Purchase” however I had a period where I didn’t want to watch them anymore as I’d pretty much watched them all. After a short time passed I started getting extremely regular (some more than once a week) expensive outgoing transactions from “SHORTMAX INNOVATIONS INC” which I was no longer subscribed to the app or even had it downloaded on my phone, after struggling to find an email and having a response which required my “ShortMaxID” which I did not have due to no longer having the app and therefore no longer a subscription, my last Apple Subscription for ShortMax was in 2025. I unfortunately lost a lot of money and had to call the bank to block any further outgoings to the above account. Even after speaking to the bank who ensured me no more payments would be taken from ShortMax, I now have to call the bank again as another payment has come out.I am extremely frustrated and upset with this as I did love the app but technically they are stealing money from me which they should not be able to do and have no right or reason in doing so.I have had 2 very close members of my family pass within the space of 3 weeks only 1/2 months ago and really do not want to be on my phone to the bank every other week. This has to stop!!I love them, I can actually watch them without falling asleep as I struggle watching films or series without nodding off & love finding hidden gems, only reason I put 4 stars is because I wish I could pay something more reasonable for a longer time than just a week.
