Experience & key features
BlinkDrama is a vertical short-drama streaming app with episodes of roughly 1–10 minutes, published by Atlas Ventures Culture & Technology Limited of Hong Kong. It reached the App Store on 2026-05-29, also has an Android version, and shows 10M+ downloads on Google Play.
The store descriptions list romance, billionaire and werewolf stories, revenge, time travel and mystery, with new episodes daily. In replies to reviews, the developer says daily tasks earn coins to unlock episodes and that a subscription removes ads. The app is available in 19 languages, including English, Vietnamese and Japanese.
On the US App Store, Weekly Pass Pro costs $19.99/week (first offer $15.99/week for 2 weeks) and Yearly Pass Pro $149.99/year, about $12.50/month; the in-app list also shows one-time purchases. The Vietnam store lists Weekly Pass Pro at 149.000 ₫, with some entries at 99.000 ₫. The terms state all fees are non-refundable.
The app is rated 18+ on the App Store while the terms allow users from 13. This review draws on the store listings, the terms and the privacy policy. We found no credible report of a lawsuit, fine or data incident involving BlinkDrama; the app is new, so its track record is short. Short-drama fans may also compare DramaBox, ReelShort and ShortMax.
