Is NetShort free to use? high
NetShort is free to download, but it includes in-app purchases ranging from $0.49 to $299.99 per item. Users can watch ads to earn coins to unlock episodes. Multiple recent reviews complain that the cost to unlock episodes via coins or subscriptions is too high for the short 10-15 minute video length.

3★Edit: Even though there is no time limit, the app is incredibly glitchy. I'll be able to watch 2-3 episodes with ads, then ads will stop working. I will often get just a blank screen. Force stop and cache clear fix it temporarily for a few episodes. Stories are meh. However it's the only app I've found where you can ad load and actually watch an entire story in one setting. No having to unlock each episode, with a daily limit.

5★i love the videos. but it is extremely expensive. i wish it was cheaper or a way to win more coins nit just by watching ads. i will probably be deleting the app. but i do love the storys don't get me wrong. i appreciate your videos and story line but i will not pay the prices for 10 to 15 min videos then pay or watch ads one by one between episodes.

2★This app USED to be 5 stars. I could watch ads to gain coins and then go back and watch the whole thing in one sitting. Now, the last 10 episodes, whether you've unlocked them or not, will ALWAYS have an ad between them. This is unacceptable. I've ALREADY watched ads. The only reason you got a second star is because I legitimately love the shows, I'll continue to unlock things (maybe) but until the ads between episodes go away I won't be watching the shows. STOP the double-dipping.

2★it used to be one of my favorite of the vertical short apps, but it just has so many issues. login with Facebook constantly breaks, and the security on the app is insane and if I close the app and reopen it will say I'm trying to login to too many places and kick my out (that happens all the time). Support is also not in English, so that made it tricky to even get help. Reelshort and drama box are way better.

2★It's OK. Pretty good for what it is. I did enjoy what I watched, but... it's ridiculously over priced, whether paying for a subscription or by coins per episode. So, unfortunately I'm going to be deleting the app since the price isn't worth the length of time to go ad free. Also, watching ads to unlock 1 episode at a time, is just not enjoyable to me.
