Limits, credits, locked features5%

10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I spent two dollars to get 50 coins just to see how much of the show that would get me because it lets you view a portion of it for free and then you have to pay to see more “episodes” or wait 12 hours for ONE MORE…
★★★★★ I wanted to watch a show so badly and it only let me get to like episode 12 when there are about 48 I don't like how we have to wait even though we bought the app!
★★★★★ It's good but you have to pay to access episodes right away.
Login and account problems3%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Since I didn't have an account or pay for anything, I could watch one minute and then had to wait twelve hours to watch another minute.
★★★★★ The site makes you think you can sign up for a year and it's approx $8 a month and you can cancel ANYTIME but you can't.
★★★★★ Comprei o plano anual (caríssimo) e funcionou por exatos 2 meses, agora entro no aplicativo e diz que o meu login não existe, que teria que comprar um plano novamente, as histórias são muito boas, uma pena que seja só…
Crashes and freezes2%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Videos would freeze or get stuck loading, and I'd have to wait for them to work again.
★★★★★ I downloaded it when I open the APP it's just a black screen nothing comes up!
★★★★★ iOS 26.6 iPhone 15 plus opens to blank screen, and will not issue refund
Lost data, sync, backup2%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I deleted and redownloaded and it just crashes every time.
★★★★★ Gave me something like a 7 hour wait period to watch another episode, so I come back the next day and all the coins a paid for are gone
★★★★★ I'm starting to lose interest
Bugs, things not working2%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I enjoyed the dramas on Candy Jar, but the constant glitches made watching them frustrating.
★★★★★ I downloaded it when I open the APP it's just a black screen nothing comes up!
★★★★★ O app da muitos bugs e extremamente injusto pois vc só pode ver os dramas 1 ep e depois esperar umas 7h para poder ver mais 1 ep além de cada ep valer 50 moedas e elas serem caras e não durarem nada, vc não tem a opção…
No customer support2%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I reached out to support 2 days ago and they responded pretty fast which was a good sign!
★★★★★ No one responds to emails and you cannot cancel. I am being charged $10.99 a week against my will.
★★★★★ Der Support ist ein Witz und sehr wahrscheinlich sehe ich das Geld nie wieder.
Too many ads1%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It would be nice if you were able to watch ads and earn coins to be able to watch more episodes.
★★★★★ They could add the option to watch ads to unlock because given the crisis we are in Brazil, it is not possible to pay almost R$200 for a subscription.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • the short stories thus far have been interesting to watch but, I wish it wasn't 50 coins per every episode 5★, Oct 18, 2026
  • I wish the app worked more consistently, because I did enjoy the content, but the technical issues really took away from the experience. 2★, Oct 17, 2026
  • If the developer could get me a refund that would be greatly appreciated. 2★, Oct 17, 2026

Worth the money7%

6 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I think that's the aspect i appreciate the most, I love short dramas but I don't like using ai and this is basically the best of both worlds, if I could be an actor for them to help the no AI cause I would honestly…
★★★★★ Could be not so expensive and more ways to earn points
★★★★★ Good shows though im just cheap and will be waiting 🤣🤣🤣
Accurate, great results5%

4 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Considering that I can buy a 3-hour-long, higher-quality movie for $10, $2 should get me access to a bare minimum of 30 minutes of content.
★★★★★ Most shows are good quality.
★★★★★ High quality great acting and nice story line
Fun, addictive4%

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Dear Candy Jar Support, I've really been enjoying your movie selection, but I wanted to share a concern about pricing.
★★★★★ What caught my attention was the actor from Fresh Prince show and now I'm addicted to it but it is quite pricey
★★★★★ I enjoy watching the shows in here it is a reasonable price range for the membership.
Great support2%

★★★★★ Well, I don't necessarily if the scripts are AI, but I just have to speak with my wallet in support of their responsible business decision.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2026
No AI here!

I never in a million years thought I would pay for an app like this. But I am genuinely impressed by the way this app has resisted the pull of AI slop. Well, I don't necessarily if the scripts are AI, but I just have to speak with my wallet in support of their responsible business decision. As for the content, it's as mindless as can be, but there really is a ton of original content, and they're all made with at least some degree of human care, which is pretty impressive. I think the pricing model is designed to make most of their money on monthly subs, but if you can afford the up-front yearly payment I actually can't argue about the value at all.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
I like it!

I like that their stories are made by real actors instead of all being AI. However I don’t like the need for a subscription.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
$2 gets you 30 seconds!

The shows are fast paced, and overall the one that I tried to watch was pretty good. But the prices that they want you to pay for these is out of this world! I spent two dollars to get 50 coins just to see how much of the show that would get me because it lets you view a portion of it for free and then you have to pay to see more “episodes” or wait 12 hours for ONE MORE episode. That $2 I spent only got me like 30 seconds bc that’s how long their episodes are and I was shocked. Not worth it.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Money reasons

Hate how you have to pay for the coins why can’t you watch like an add for the coins and make the episode longer.

★★★★★Oct 20, 2026
Episódios pagos

Propaganda enganosa para assistir tem que pagar e são caros! baixar o app é gratuito mas nada adianta se tem q pagar pra assistir

★★★★★Oct 19, 2026
Só assiste de pagar

Diferente dos outros que você consegue assistir devagar vendo os anúncios, esse não te dá essa opção. Se não pagar, não assiste.
