HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (14 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

★★★★★Oct 23, 2026

You cannot cancel this subscription once you get it. No matter what they comment on it. In fact, after contracting them with feedback three times not once did they respond, and they still tried to pull it off my card to where I had to cancel my card to stop them. I tried canceling through the app also, as well as Google play, and feedback.

★★★★★Oct 22, 2026

I DL this app to watch it for a week. It says to cancel through google, but it did not show up in my google subscriptions and theres no way to cancel in app. I contacted support 4 times. once though email, 3 times in app with no response while they have kept charging me for the last 3 weeks against my wishes. now I have to cancel my credit card and wait foe new one just to make it stop. Many better short film apps out there that will not scam you like this. I do not recommend!!!
