ReelShort - Short Movie & TV 12+

The good and the bad parts

Many, many fun movies and new movies every few days, BUT: the bad parts. I found myself somehow subscribed (at higher price than I would pay for a subscription!) when I did not sign up to subscribe! I have not yet figured out how to unsubscribe even after lots of looking around the site so for now I am watching lots of movies while I research it. While subscribed, it has been fun watching. Amidst the many good things in the movies, where the acting is better than in some of the other apps! the worst thing is the horrible prejudice against adopted kids in families. They regularly get thrown out of families, cut off of inheritances as soon as the “real” kid is found, and/or get portrayed as evil. I have many adopted relatives and no one pays any attention to which ones are “real” and which ones are adopted!!!!! Everyone is loved and no one is evil! New plots are needed that show how real families treat adopted kids as loved, how adopted kids love and welcome other siblings- use something else to drive your plot so you do not dishonor all of the families with adopted kids!!!! Drive your plots with fewer evil step-mothers since this plot device is so cliche’. I love it when I come across plots that do not involve an evil stepmother or an evil adopted sibling. Movies without those trite plots are so refreshing!!!! Fortunately there are lots of them, and they are all great fun!

Intriguing mini shows with bad acting and ads

I am a sucker for short stories like this, so when I saw that they were being made into films, I was so excited! I read a lot of reviews about the ads. To be honest, I didn’t really mind the ads. You will watch about a minute and a half of the movie before you have to watch an ad that is longer than the clip you watched from the movie. Yes it’s annoying, yes it’s an incentive for you to buy coins, yes it’s the same over and over, yes you can only watch 20 of them a day and then you have to wait. But to be honest, I really didn’t mind that. I came to expect it and it was still worth it with the film I was watching.
But then, after I continued on with it, I am almost at the tail end of my movie, and when I pulled it up, it now says I have to login using Facebook? I really don’t understand that, I’ve watched the majority of this movie and continued to watch their continual ads without having to log into my social media account. That’s when I deleted the app. I’m already watching thousands of ads and viewing them more and more then I’m even viewing the movie. You are getting all my viewing time, why do you want my social media?? 3 stars, because this stories are intriguing, but it comes with a very annoying price.

Coins

Normally I do not leave reviews especially negative ones. These shorts are really entertaining and I ultimately enjoy watching them. However, I am very disappointed and upset that each “short” takes up a various amount of your coins. I started out watching every ad to get my coins for the day which landed me just over 230 coins. So I was a bit excited to watch more of the series I have been trying to get through. I figured that I would be able to watch at least 4 to 5 shorts (5 minutes or so of the series for the day) but I didn’t even get that. I was able to watch two which were less then a minute long. Afterwards it says I do not have enough coins. I would give this app a 5 star review if it wasn’t for the fact that somehow the price for each short adjusts based on how many coins you have. On top of that you cannot see the price of how much each episode costs until you are out of coins. Yesterday, the next episode said it was 58 coins. Today I had over 230 coins and was only able to watch two episodes? In other words one episode cost 58 coins and the next one took the rest. It seems like a major scam to get people to really fork out the money for the game without realizing what is going on. If the company fixes the issues then I will come back and update my review. If not my review will stay. Thank you for reading. Again this is not something I do in fact this is the first review I have ever done but I would hate to see people get scammed.
