Our take
ReelShort, made by Crazy Maple Studio, is the app that brought vertical short dramas to a mass English-speaking audience. It leans into English-original productions — especially werewolf 'fated mate' stories and billionaire romance — rather than relying on Chinese dubs. You can watch the opening episodes of almost any series free, then unlock the rest with coins (earned via daily check-ins and rewarded ads, or bought). For most viewers the free coins cover a series or two a week; heavy bingers will want a VIP pass.
Pros
- Largest English-original catalog (not just dubs)
- Strong werewolf, billionaire and revenge lineups
- Daily free coins via check-in and ads
- Polished iOS/Android apps with offline viewing
Cons
- Coin pricing adds up fast on a binge
- Best episodes are often paywalled mid-cliffhanger
- Aggressive upsell prompts
