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
the 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
