Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide.

★★★★★ The episodes are very expensive and if you watch ads they are very long, it's really not worth it and the subtitle dubbing is the worst.

Do Not subscribe - There is NO WAY TO CANCEL

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.

I don’t like it

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

I don’t have any active subscriptions anymore and I was still charged.

DO NOT SUBSCRIBE. THERE IS NO WAY TO CANCEL.

Make sure to read the reviews before you hit subscribe on any platform. I purchased on Facebook, and now have no way to cancel the account because it doesn’t register on any app or other service. I followed all directions to cancel in the app, but since I viewed everything on Facebook, I never downloaded the app. Also of note: I can’t even look up the account on Facebook to cancel it that way because it doesn’t show up anymore. They trap you into subscriptions, then, even when you can’t view the content anymore, they continue to charge you. It is a scam. I’ll be filing this through my banking institution to get the charges removed, and I won’t be subscribing again. The content is mediocre at best and looks to be AI generated to top it all off. Highly unsatisfactory.
