Short drama app · US App Store · 10 Nov 2026
ShotShort
The free claim is the whole catalog, paid for by ads. The optional subscription is not a key to locked episodes. It is a way to watch the same stories without interruptions. The price of that option is not in the text.
Seller Nanjing Radiance Network Technology Co., Ltd. Rating 4.8 from 24K. Age 12+. iPhone.
On the listing
- The free offer is the catalog, not the first episode.
- The paid tier is described narrowly, as ad removal.
- 4.8 from 24K ratings is a large sample.
The catch
- The ad-free subscription has no printed price.
- “Completely free” plus ads means the episode can still be interrupted.
- The version date is 13 Mar 2026, older than the apps updated in the autumn.
No dollar amount was printed. The description includes auto-renewing subscription instructions and does not, in the lines we used, name a week or a price. Age 12+. One language on the store list. Rating 4.8 from 24K. Released 19 Dec 2023. Current version date 13 Mar 2026. A separate US listing, Shot Shorts-MiniSeries, says it is changing its name. This page is the ShotShort listing with 24K ratings, not that smaller one.
Free, if you take the ads
Nanjing Radiance Network Technology Co., Ltd. sells ShotShort. The description says short dramas are completely free to watch, supported by ads, with new episodes every week. An optional small subscription removes the ads. “Small” is not a dollar amount.
That is a different machine from a coin wall. If the app later locks an episode behind coins, the description you just read will have been wrong. The sentence to test is the free one, on the episode that used to be the ad break.
Questions
Is ShotShort free?
The description says the stories are completely free and supported by ads. A subscription is offered to remove the ads, and that subscription’s price is not printed.
Is there another ShotShort?
A smaller US listing, Shot Shorts-MiniSeries, says it is updating its brand. The review on this page is ShotShort-Dramas&Shorts from Nanjing Radiance Network Technology Co., Ltd.
