User Reviews

Many reviews are negative overall. Users complain about steep, recurring charges and difficulty canceling, frequent billing glitches, and paywalls that limit access with long ads. Content quality issues like poor dubbing/translations are common, and customer support is often described as unresponsive. A small number of reviews praising the dramas and noting free initial episodes exist, but do not outweigh the wide dissatisfaction with price and reliability.
Pros
  • Engaging dramas and stories that some users find enjoyable.
  • First several episodes are free to try (about 13).
  • A minority of reviews indicate the content is worth watching despite issues.
Cons
  • Very high price and perceived poor value (e.g., weekly $20–$30 subscriptions).
  • Billing and cancellation problems (charged twice, subscriptions not visible in Apple/Facebook records, difficulty canceling).
  • Paywalls/ads/coins limiting viewing (many episodes behind paywall or require long ads or coins).
  • Poor dubbing and translation quality with voice changes across episodes.
  • Unresponsive or hard-to-reach customer support.

I strongly recommend avoiding a subscription to StarShort. I subscribed directly through the StarShort application. The problem is that the cancellation function does not work. Every time I attempt to cancel the subscription through the app, I receive an error message, making it impossible to complete the cancellation. Despite attempting to cancel, the charges continue to recur. I have also emailed StarShort numerous times requesting assistance and cancellation and have received no response. When a company continues taking recurring payments while its cancellation system produces errors and customer support does not respond, customers are effectively left with no reasonable way to stop being charged. To make matters worse, the app itself does not work properly much of the time, so I am continuing to be charged for a service that I cannot reliably use and cannot successfully cancel. At this point, it feels like money is simply being taken from my account without my authorization to continue the service. A legitimate subscription service should provide customers with a clear, functional way to cancel and responsive customer support when that process fails. I have attempted to cancel. I have contacted the company repeatedly. The cancellation feature does not work, the company has not responded, and the recurring charges continue. I will now have to dispute the charges through my financial institution. Buyer beware. I would not subscribe unless and until StarShort fixes its cancellation system and provides customers with a reliable way to stop recurring charges.

On this website, some episodes feature human voiceovers, while others use AI. Plus, the playback stutters in every single episode.
