shortdrama.io is a decision guide to short drama apps, the apps that stream vertical series in episodes of about a minute. Its job is narrow on purpose: help you pick the app that fits how you watch, and stop you paying for more than you meant to. This page explains who runs the site, why it's built the way it is, and how to reach us.
Who is behind the site
shortdrama.io is published by Agape Group GmbH, a company founded by Angelo Sorbello. Agape Group makes TotalShort, a short drama app. That makes us a player in the market this site covers, and you should hear it from us first.
Because of that, TotalShort appears first wherever apps are listed, always marked "Our app", and every page that compares or ranks apps says so in its opening paragraph. The rules behind that are on our disclosure page.
Why a decision guide, and not reviews
Most people looking for a short drama app already know the format. What trips them up is the money: weekly plans that renew quietly, coin packs whose value isn't on the store page, and prices that look identical until you notice one has no period at all. So this site is organized around decisions, not opinions.
- Which app? The home page has a picker and a ranking, and each app gets a short profile built from its listing.
- What will it cost? The price index lists the weekly and one-off items from the US App Store on a stated date, and our guide to weekly passes vs coins shows how to compare them.
- What if it goes wrong? The refunds guide covers cancelling and asking Apple or Google for money back.
- What am I watching? A trope field guide and a glossary decode the genre's shorthand.
We don't rank apps on taste. Each one gets a weighted score out of 10 from six criteria built on dated facts, the same rules for every app, ours included, and ties go to the app with more US App Store ratings. How we gather each fact and turn it into points is described in our method.

What this site doesn't do

FAQ
Who owns shortdrama.io?
Agape Group GmbH, the company founded by Angelo Sorbello that makes the short drama app TotalShort. Because we have our own app in this category, TotalShort is listed first and labeled "Our app" on every page that compares apps, and those pages say so in their first paragraph. No other app owns, sponsors or pays for any part of the site.
Is shortdrama.io independent?
Not from TotalShort, and we don't pretend otherwise. What we offer is transparency: facts about other apps come from their App Store listings, terms and websites, each with a read date, and the score that orders the apps uses public rules, not our opinion. You can check every figure yourself.
How do I report a mistake?
Email support@totalshort.com with the page address, the claim you think is wrong and the source you checked. We compare it with the current listing or document, fix the page if it's wrong and change its "updated" date. The process is described on our method page.
