User Reviews
Reads a portion of the story and then wants me to subscribe nah this should be free
They say pay for the app to binge the story line they get you hooked to guess what took my money and then page not found never again stay off my page
Garbage ai slop do I need to say more
The videos are too short add kinda boring just my opinion
Is it only last 5mins for the Story?
This app is shows false advertisement
You suppose to have a trial and they charged me as soon as I clicked on and it’s says 5/12 was the billing day but Apple will not allow me to download anything. Basically trying to force me to pay for something that’s on a trial
The stories our fire we need a lot more
Dark Short is honestly one of the most original apps I’ve found in a long time. The stories are dark, intense, and super easy to get hooked on. It feels like a new way to watch true crime and thriller content. I didn’t expect to like this app this much. The quality of the stories is really impressive, and the short format makes it perfect when you want something quick but still cinematic and addictive.
Do not download this app. It is a scam. It claims to be free, then continuously charges you for subscriptions and fees. There is no real customer support, and the developer’s contact email does not work. They also do not respond to emails or refund requests. Save yourself the stress and money. Do not download or purchase this app. I only had $10 on my card to feed my child and they took my last money even though I canceled the subscription and Apple will not refund
