Review summary

Argo - Short Entertainment is praised for its excellent selection of short films, user-friendly interface with helpful filters and playlist features, and smooth performance. It is appreciated as a platform supporting indie filmmakers and offers convenient viewing experiences. However, multiple users reported serious subscription and billing issues, including unlisted subscriptions and difficulties canceling, raising scam concerns. Other critiques include limited genre variety, app crashes on full screen rotation, and a desire for more content and categories as the app develops.

Pros

Great app for short film lovers with a wide and interesting selection of films.
User-friendly interface with useful filters, shuffle option, playlists, and search functions that make discovery easy.
Short loading times and smooth performance without glitches (for most users).
Provides a platform supporting independent and short filmmakers with curated content.
Design and format make watching short films convenient anytime and anywhere.

Cons

Subscription management issues with reports of unlisted, hard-to-cancel subscriptions leading to frustration and scam concerns.
Limited content variety noted, with dominance of short documentaries over other genres like thrillers, comedies, or sci-fi.
App crashes when attempting to watch in full screen mode on rotating the phone.
Some users feel there is insufficient content and categories, hoping for more growth and expansion.

2023-05-09	Ma*****	This is a scam. I've been charged for 3 six month subscriptions on an account that I did not create. Nowhere in the App is there an option to cancel. NOWHERE! Even though the app is from Google Play this subscription is not listed there either. How they got my info I have no idea but I've had to file a fraud claim with my bank and had to cancel my debit card to have a new one sent out.

2023-04-07	Sy*****	Scam. I fell for this. Now I can't delete it or cancel my subscription just because I wanted watch a "movie" that was 30 mins long. Which by far is probably the longest you will find here in this..... "selection."

2022-04-09	He*****	One major problem i had is that it doesnt let me watch in full screen. I press the full screen button go to rotate my phone and the app crashes every time. If this is fixed I would have a much better experience with the app

2021-06-05	Pa*****	Love the app! There appears to be no glitches so far, and I’m pretty surprised that the loading times are so short (if even present in the first place)! And I’m really into the short film vibe. Check it out if you’re a film buff like me!!

2021-06-02	Li*****	I think it’s cool how Argo has playlists on their app. It’s convenient because I don’t feel like I’m being overwhelmed with films, but there’s typically at least 4. That way I can just check out the topic I’m interested in, and its right there! Plus, there are trailers, which is super nice, and because of this, I’ve gotten the chance to watch some amazing films that I would have never thought to check out on my own.

2020-12-26	MO*****	I am sorry to be honest though this is not short films rather a collection of prodominantly short documentaries, I see one animated one and the rest is a sort of negative tone of documentaries and short serious videos, this is what it looks like any way. Where are the thrillers the comedies the action the sci fi the horror the list goes on for what it could have man vidseand ficto annihilate this

2020-12-03	My*****	As a filmmaker myself it's good to see a platform that cares about short and independent filmmaking in an age where the cinema is becoming increasingly inaccessible. Argo is a sleek looking streaming app with a great selection of work! Looking forward to seeing how this platform grows.

2020-08-30	Ma*****	Argo is a cool new take on streaming services that hasn’t been seen before. Short films, which aren’t seen in the mainstream, are given the focus. Not only are you able to stream the films but you can connect with filmmakers. Every film-lover needs to download this!

2020-08-29	Jo*****	Great way to make short films!! We have need for something like this in the business world - especially for helping people to understand new ideas or inventions that have yet to hit the market. I'm going to tell my team about it and ask them to give it a try. Further this can help all global citizens understand each other better by explain how we feel, how we think, and why we do things the way that we do them. It can even be used to share solutions to problems that few, if any, seem to be able to solve. Thank you.
