HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (2147 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. 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 17, 2026

we used to get 5 free episodes every 24 hours, now it's only one? I feel this is unfair for non-premium users. some of us are students and can't pay for premium, now we're forced to watch only 1 episode every day of the shows that help us relax? I feel as though it is unfair. I love love love the shows still. CandyJar, please fix this. One episode a day is truly unfair

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026

movies dont line up with the books and you have to pay for episodes which is annoying

★★★★★Oct 17, 2026

am loving the fact that you continue to produce dramas using real actresses and actors. So tired of AI. Have deleted and cancelled 6 other apps and subscriptions that chose to go all AI! Keep up the good work!
