Review summary

Users praise the content quality of CandyJarTV’s dramas, but repeatedly complain about billing and refunds, apps that won’t load, and a painful monetization model with pricey subscriptions and coin-based per-episode costs. Additional frustration centers on platform limits and missing user features.

Pros

High-quality dramas with engaging storylines and solid acting.
Some reviewers enjoy the shows and actors and see value in the catalog.

Cons

Billing and refunds problems: users report being charged after cancellation and difficulty obtaining refunds, with poor customer service.
App reliability issues: frequent crashes or the app failing to load (logo stuck, won't open, outdated versions).
Pricing and monetization frustrations: expensive weekly/annual pricing, coin-based pay-per-view with per-second charges, and lack of a monthly option.
Limited access/features complaints: no easy way to earn coins or watch ads to unlock episodes, limited platform support (no TV casting/downloads) and missing features like a 'My List'.

2026-05-19	St*****	Great stories but you can't watch ads and you have no way to freely get coins. It's a money grab and the app is lying saying you can use ads

2026-05-19	Uc*****	The plots are great, and the acting on this app is honestly some of the best I’ve seen among apps like these. My only issue is that there isn’t even an option to watch ads to earn points and unlock more episodes. After the first free episodes, they only release one episode a day, and each episode is barely 50 seconds long. At the very least, give us three episodes a day or the option to watch ads to unlock a few more episodes.

2026-05-19	b1*****	Have to wait 24 hours between each episode and if u want to skip the wait it’s 50+ coins. Some of the episodes aren’t even a full minute. They do give u the option to get carina, but it’s not much and they have an option to call them and get a week free, but that about it. The stories they have on here are good, it’s just disappointing when you have to wait 24 between an episode when the episode are a minute long or less.

2026-05-18	fr*****	It freezes in the beginning or middle of an episode and won’t load again, you just have to skip ahead to watch anymore. I pay for this service, I wish they would fix this.

2026-05-16	Sh*****	They deviate from the books enough to ruin the story. All their movies are geared towards teens and the ones not based off their books are all repeats of other movies and shows. Nearly word for word. Not really worth the money I paid. My biggest complaint? I’M NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE SCREENSHOTS OF MY OWN I FORMATION!!!!!!! I would understand if I was taking pictures or videos of content, but my own profile page information like the fact I turned off auto pay today and the date my subscription ends??? Really???
