I can't believe how scammed I was. I went on the app and had to pay money to watch the rest of the show each scene was 50 tokens period and they lasted less than a minute each until I ran out of tokens. I actually spent 26.00 in tokens and still had to purchase one week free access at 28 dollars do not use this app. I feel completely defrauded by this company.
Reviews for FlickReels – Short Drama & TV
I think this is one of the best apps for short-form stories. Unfortunately, I'm now running into a persistent "network connection error" that pops up every other episode. My internet connection is stable and works perfectly with other similar apps. I'm hesitant to renew my plan until this is resolved. It's a really frustrating issue.
honestly it would have been catchy if it wasn't impossible to watch. Like sometimes one episode is shorter than an ad, and there are many similar apps that work better. I think people would actually pay if they knew what they are paying for, but when the app feels scratchy from the start it kinda throws you off. Again, it would have been pretty good if at least I had the chance to know what I'm paying for, but the long ads and coins make it impossible, and the content isn't that unique, sorry.
**EDITED** I've updated my review as the problem seems to have been fixed and it is still one of my favourite apps to use I love the stories on this but every other episode all I get is network connection error and I know there is nothing wrong with my WiFi or mobile data, I have a lot of apps with short dramas and this app is the only one it happens on. Is this something that can be fixed??? It's very annoying
At first it seemed like this was a great app until after you had to purchase tokens or watch videos for free tokens. They play back scenes that you already watched and subtract the tokens you just bought or earned basically you're wasting your money if you're buying tokens to see the next scence. They just want you to keep spending money. They take your money if you spend money for tokens they don't care they will not reimburse you.
It lets you watch several episodes, then boom stops. To continue you pay for coins, or you earn by watching ads. But, you watch the ads for almost 1 to 2 minutes, you only get a short clip of an episode. Not even a full episode! So.... You watch around 20 + ads to get 1 episode. Then at 22 episodes it shuts down. It's the most ridiculous app I have seen... If tomorrow it doesn't let me watch a full episode I'm uninstalling it!
the stories are good. but the app itself is just robbery. the coins. the ads. I was given over 500+ coins. watched 5 episodes and they were gone. then placed money on my account and that was gone with 2 episodes. so it doesn't make any sense to me. $17 a week is more expensive than hbo subscription in a month. make it make sense.
While the films are well written and entertaining. The prices for subscription is over priced, 20 a week and the episodes are on and average 2mins. The freebie rewards are bare minimum. I feel that the customer should get a little more out of it. For that reason I won't be keeping the application. Offer your customers more, especially paying ones. That is also the reason I give one star rating.
Not even worth the time to download and I'm pretty sure these reviews are fake and planted by the company. Good luck trying to watch a movie in 1 day unless you agree to pay them $20 a week!! Yes you can watch ads for the next chapter but you can only watch 10 a day. The movie I wanted to watch is 70 episodes so it would've taken me a week and 35 mins of ad time to watch a 1 hour and 22 min SHORT film. I do not suggest this app to ANYONE!!!
There's more ads than there is movie. The movies are good but I watch a few seconds of movie then I get an offer to pay or watch some ads. The pricing is higher than most. I opt to watch the ad which is at least 30 secs. 1/19/2025 I'm having a problem. After I watch the ads and claim the coins, it keeps playing the same episode over and over again. I tried to select the next episode but I have to watch more ads and then it still goes back to the previous episode. I hope this gets fixed.
