Review summary

Durian app offers a large selection of shorts with decent English content, but suffers from severe technical issues such as buffering, freezing, and poor video/sound sync. Multiple users report that free content is very limited and payment is required without alternatives to earn coins. Subscription and payment functionality is unreliable, causing frustration. The UI is not user-friendly and login issues persist. Overall, these problems heavily impact user experience, leading to negative reviews despite the ample content.

Pros

Huge selection of shorts and stories to watch
Good English content and natural characters

Cons

App is very glitchy with frequent buffering, freezing, and restarting episodes
Requires payment to watch beyond a few episodes; no option to earn coins by watching ads
Video and sound synchronization issues and poor video loading performance
Subscription payment problems and app not recognizing subscriptions properly
User interface is not user-friendly and login issues (sometimes in Chinese)

2026-03-20	Vi*****	at first I liked the app and the stories. every 1-2 months it kicks me out and requires me to log back in, now it won't let me in at all. Also, the stories are repeating just with different actors. I'm starting to wish I could get a refund and just cancel. It is getting to be frustrating and a waste of money to see/hear the exact same story 3 times in a row with the only change is the actors.

2025-11-03	Li*****	I really do love this app. but I had to cancel subscription today because all it does is buffer. I get so tired of it. I paid for a week and all I did was watch it buffer. it did it 3 times on a 1 minute episode. fix the issue and I'll come back. thanks

2025-09-22	Su*****	technically issues. the stories all buffer every few minutes, definitely not worth the money they want

2025-08-12	We*****	Although slightly expensive, I haven't found another app that adds new shows daily or has the variety of vertical shows on the internet. I recommend this app simply for the fact that the entertainment value is very good.

2025-06-18	Be*****	INSANELY HIGH PRICE FOR 1 WEEK...AND A MONTH ALMOST $60 RIDICULOUS. I thought my favorite app recently raising theirs to $49 for a month was crazy. I still pay theirs because unlike this app there is no skipping or constant buffering. I have been trying new apps and haven't come across anything more expensive than $19.99 for a WEEK!!!
