so this app claims you never have to pay EVER to watch the episodes. you have to watch ads. but then after a few ads, if you try to watch another one to open the next episode, it just says more ads coming soon. so the only way to watch more episodes? YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR IT! but oh no! you NEVER have to pay for episodes, EVER! seems legit to me
Reviews for DramaBox - Stream Drama Shorts
← Back to DramaBox - Stream Drama Shortsthe 1st few chapters are free & longer. If you dont purchase a membership you need to watch ads to continue reading. The ad you watch could be as long as 30 secs, but the amount of time they give to read for the "next chapter" as they call it, is only 10 secs, long. Then the cycle repeats. Too much for me. I'll just stick with the other book apps. They give you full chapters after ads & free chapters daily, with the choice if buying coins at the same time for very cheap.
If you dont pay the yearly amount, it definitely isn't worth it. The monthly fee is WAY too high. The free version has ads that are longer than the episodes. I do like their reels. I pay yearly for another app. I cant do 2 unfortunately. If they would just lower their monthly fees, so many more would join, including myself. The app works good most of the time. I like how you can download the reels, & other features they have.
The episodes are too short. I thought maybe it was because I was getting the free episodes by watching ads so I purchased coins to see if the episodes were longer. They were a little longer, but for the amount of coins you have to spend to watch it wasn't worth it. If I am spending 50 coins per episode I should get at least 20 minutes of watch time. But the episodes weren't even more than 5 mins long, if that.
I seen this app as ad and it said it was free. I watched a few episodes of the show I was interested in then it said I had to pay. it does offer you free coins if you watch ads but even that is limited. and it's not like the app is affordable, it's not. it's like 19.99 which is Netflix prices. this app can't compete in today's streaming services. you guys should really lower your prices if you want to make money. and remember all of these positive comments are bots.
I purchased a week of service, but the app has not worked properly a single day. Every time I try to use it, I get network or “data exception” errors even though my internet connection is stable. I reached out to customer service multiple times, but I have received no response at all. Paying for a service that doesn’t work and getting ignored by support is completely unacceptable. Very disappointed and would not recommend.
I like the short dramas, but trying to look up by actor would be nice. Also paid for coins and didn't receive them. I also don't mind watching the ads, but you spend more time watching those than the time you watch the short clips. (UPDATE: Did everything to report to them about not receiving the coins, but they don't even respond. So lowered rating and will be getting rid of the app.
if it were possible, I would give a -10 !! good story. too many commercials. 20 chapters into my story, I had to close the app and come back in 3 times because the commercials was forcing me to play store, and when I closed out play store, the commercials was still there, no way to close it but kill the app and come back. 3 times, when the commercial was done, it replayed what I just watched and the commercial again. unless you like 95% commercials, WALK ON BY. I couldn't finish my story. DELET
I only had the free version but I uninstalled it after about 30 minutes. I got interested in one of the stories and it let me watch a few episodes and then I had to watch ads and it would unlock two episodes which was fine, I could have dealt with that, but then within 10 episodes I think it was, it only unlocked one episode each time I watched an ad and the episodes are like 30 seconds long and the ads just drag on. Not worth it
they advertise "free to the end" content. I was expecting having to watch ads in order to move on to the next episode, and would've been ok with that! But instead, they want to charge you after chapter 10. And no options to just watch an ad!! False advertising. Do not download if you don't want to waste your time
When you download app they give you free episodes to watch. 10 to be precise. However, you get to unlock the 10 you already seen. Episodes are less then a minute long. You have to watch advertising that are even longer and you only get 1 to 5 coins for doing so. 20 mins later I only watched 3 new episodes and I have completely lost interest in the story and have deleted the app. If this is how you are treated in the beginning, I can't imagine what they do once you are hooked.
Fun little shows but the subscription being $20 weekly after a $12 trial week is far too expensive. Other subscriptions last a whole month for that price, so the paid version isn't worth it after the first week to most. You can watch free, but episodes cost 50 coins and the ads you can watch only give you 20, with a limit on how many coins you can get in a day.
The storyline is good. the actors are obviously not very seasoned but still entertaining enough to keep watching. there's only 2 things I don't like is the fact the episodes are so short and its so expensive to watch 1 week. I just wanted to watch the one and it does give points for ads and follows on other social media but not enough to finish the whole thing. and I cant seem spending $19.99 for a week to watch the one. maybe if there were more ways to earn watch time or it was way cheaper.
This app is a joke. They show you an add that brings you up to a scene then make you down load the app to continue. once you download the app the episodes start over from the beginning. so you are basically rewatching the ad. Then you have to either purchase coins, more episodes, or watch more advertisements just to see short clips for episodes. it's a huge time waister!! If I could have gave it 1 star I would have!!!
had it for about a week and will uninstall once I'm finished with the series I'm on. I dont mind adds, but these adds are longer than the dang episode if the adds will even generate. With the episodes only being about 45 seconds to a minute long, you then have to watch a minute and a half long add. You only get 8 add passes a day to proceed to the next episode then it forces you to pay, so you have to wait a whole day to get 8 more add passes. huge time waster :/
I was going to give 4 stars, but first, I love the fact that you get 10 free options where most of the other apps are 5. However, 2 previews for 1 episode are not balanced enough. I don't mind watching previews cause I know they get paid but not balanced enough to be worth it. now the part that made me drop the stars down to 2 is the fact you only get 10 period, whereas the other apps I have tried are 5 per show. Then, to charge 19.99 a week way way too much.
I watched a few scenes w/ads, then paid for coins in an attempt to finish the show. It only let me watch 2 scenes I’d already seen, then said I was out of coins. Each scene is 2 mins max, and some shows have over 50 scenes. You’ll need multiple coin purchases just to finish one story. And yes, there’s a either $16 or $19 weekly subscription. To me, even with the Google Play 10% discount, it's just not worth it. But, if you have extra money laying around, then this is for you.
Used to be 1 minute ads and easy to go through them and get back to my short movie..now it's 10+ minutes of fiddling with the interactive ads to get back to the movie, if it even lets you! I'm sick of this. I've even downloaded the township app and play the game, it still goes back to the play store when I try to close the ad because there's no "continue" or "X" to get out of the ad. SO FRUSTRATING! And it's the same Township ad 7/9 times. "ad won't load, come back later" is dumb too! Deleting!
love the stories, but the ads are a battle. I love the ads to watch more epis, but there's a LOT of lagging, or sometimes the ads won't show at all. I have to keep backing out, force stopping the app, and then clearing the cache and trying again... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt...but it does get frustrating. otherwise, this app is awesome! free epis everyday, and a lot of ways to get free coins to watch even more epis! shows are very entertaining!❤️
Like the stories. Some chapters I feel should cost less coins with the fact that there is nothing substantial in the episode just filler. Example, friends talking, then it flashes to girl at work getting weird looks and ignored by everyone, and then it ends ag. I choose not to pay for my stories so I like the ad feature I just wish the ads worked. Lately the ads dont give the option to close so I have to leave the app and come back then watch another ad and hope this one will let me close it.
