Comments on Shortcat - Short Anime for Android

★★★★★ Rylle Curtina · Sep 30, 2026
This is the best anime app I've ever used! So many anime stories and the quality is amazing. It's easy to use, no lag, and the app design is so cute. As an anime fan, I really love this. 5 stars! Worth it!
★★★★☆ L · Nov 1, 2026
Great start!! I'm excited by what they are trying to do in this app - library is building so a little limited right now, but it's only going to grow, and I happily bought a full year membership to help support and see where they go from here. 2 suggestions 1) a comment section under the anime to allow viewers to chat about the anime (it's a feature very popular on webtoon sites for this genre) 2) a submission zone to allow viewers to submit their own suggestions
★★★★★ Hera Ansari · Oct 28, 2026
Okay this app is actually SO GOOD 😭🔥 It somehow gets my taste better than I do 💀 The recommendations are genuinely on point, and I love how it creates a watch list based on the kind of stories and anime I’m into. It saves me from endlessly searching for what to watch next 😭🫶 The whole experience feels so smooth, personalized, and honestly addictive in the best way. Whoever made this app, YOU GET US FR 😭✨ Definitely one of my favorite finds!
★☆☆☆☆ Jennifer Bruno · Oct 20, 2026
I wanted to start watching something before deciding to get an account and a subscription. I couldn't. I had to forcibly put my email, then it allows me to select a drama, but when I wanted to see the first episodes, I couldn't because it was forcing me to get a subscription. I uninstalled it, end of situation. I won't waste my time and my money in something I couldn't try to decide if its worth it.
★☆☆☆☆ Anne Gabz · Oct 20, 2026
Warning!!!! They have phishing ad on their app itself. There's a subscription promo keep popping on their app. Don't fall for it. I'm so disappointed.
★☆☆☆☆ Cotton Puff · Oct 27, 2026
Very misleading, you need to get a paid subscription to use the app or watch any animes at all. They advertise that they are free to watch but that is not true at all, as a pop-up appears telling you need a subscription.
★☆☆☆☆ Zorana Bunjicevic · Oct 31, 2026
You cannot watch content on the Shortcut App without signing in. The platform is a hard-paywalled. It strictly requires an account creation and a monthly or annual paid subscription even to browse or stream initial episodes. It also doesn't allow free browsing and is strictly showing whatever you picked as interest at the beginning, and there was no skip options available. Very overwhelming and controlling, not really fun.
