ShortsWave: Watch Drama Series

Yeah, this is like the most shady app that I’ve ever tried to watch and I couldn’t delete it fast enough. I have five more storylines. I would’ve liked to have watch but not at the Cost of my time. And what I mean by that is, I’m giving my time but not getting rewarded for it. I would be told that it’s 50 coins to open up the next chapter. I’ll have 101 coins. I’ll watch one chapter and then I’ll be down to like 13 coins. I’ll watch the ads and a couple things will happen: 1 - I’ll get the points. 2 - I will not get any points. 3 - I will have points taken away for me. Sometimes it would be the amount of what I was supposed to get for the commercial or in one case I have like 300 coins and I was like left with like a little bit under 150 coins. I’m trying to do this watch for free. Well, let’s face it. It’s not free. I’m paying my time by watching these ads or reading these news articles. And then I don’t get rewarded. I can’t even remember what the last five storylines were about because it’s taking me so long to go through one storyline, I just deleted the app without even refreshing my mind on why I wanted to watch those stories. If you wanna pay for this app, then know they have good storylines otherwise if you’re trying to do it for free, be prepared to be ripped off.

Hello everyone. My review of the app is simple. If you have 20 bucks to spare get the week subscription and cancel it. Binge watch some shows and enjoy a weeks worth of shows. I estimate that each show is like 1-2 hours of content meaning if you watch 4 or 5 complete series thats worth it in my opinion as its like 4 bucks a movie. Or shoot watch more than that. Theres not alot to watch on there depending on your preferences in genres and theres other apps with similar content and each has there respective genre that they focus on. With a little research you can find the app that suits you better and some even have better content and prices. Dont limit yourself to one app do the research and at the end of the day its worth it. Watching ads and loging in for points to unlock episode by episode is inefficient and not worth it. Spend the 20 watch some series and move on. Like stated there are other options as well. This app had maybe 4 series i enjoyed and the rest is so so. But thats my preference.

First, I have to say I love these little Chinese short dramas. So addictive! And the quality on this app is pretty good. But the way the app works is terrible! First, you watch a handful of episodes for free, each 1-2 mins long. Then it shows like 60 more episodes, with a little lock icon. A popup says you can purchase coins or an all-you-can-watch subscription. But I doesn’t actually tell you how much the episodes “cost” in coins. So you have no idea how far your money is going. I read the all the terms, and other than basically saying you can’t get refunds, there’s no mention of the coins it takes to unlock each episode. As of today it’s 50, btw. So I bought $5 worth of coins to figure this all out. With a 50 coin bonus, that equals 11 episodes. The drama I was watching was 70 episodes!! And finally, I thought I might as well watch the last few episodes to use up my coins and then delete the app forever. Not so!!! Final twist: you HAVE to purchase the episodes in order. If you watch ep. 1-10 and then select ep. 13, you won’t be unlocking just ep. 13, the app forces you to unlock ep. 11-13 and automatically takes your coins! As I said, these shows are addictive, but that’s the point: this whole app is designed to take advance of you. Don’t download it!!!!
