GoodShort’s free rewards come from inside the app: a daily check-in and watching ads for bonus coins. Neither pays much, so plan to combine free rewards with the free episodes at the start of each series. Any site offering free or unlimited GoodShort coins from outside the app is a scam.
Legit ways to earn free GoodShort coins
Daily check-in
GoodShort’s Google Play listing names daily check-in rewards as a feature, and ties them to its VIP program, saying the check-in earns points that extend VIP benefits. Open the app each day and claim it from the rewards area. If you’re not a VIP member, the app will show you what the check-in pays on your account.
Watch ads for bonus coins
App Store reviewers describe watching ads to earn bonus coins that unlock episodes. They also say it takes a lot of ads to earn a meaningful amount, and a few report bonus coins being spent on episodes they had already watched. Watch your balance after each unlock so you notice if that happens, and report it through the app.
Use the free episodes
Series on GoodShort start with free episodes before the paywall. Watch those first and only put coins into stories you know you want to finish. It’s the one step on this page that costs nothing and takes no extra time, and it tells you quickly whether a series has earned the ads or coins it will take to finish.
Follow the official channels, not copycats
GoodShort’s store listing links to official Facebook, YouTube and TikTok accounts and gives contact@goodshort.com as its support email. If a real promotion runs, it will come through the app or those official accounts. Promotions announced by unrelated websites or comment sections aren’t GoodShort’s.
What doesn’t work (scams)
“GoodShort coin generators,” modded APKs, unlimited-coin hacks and “free bonus” link pages are scams. Coins sit on GoodShort’s servers tied to your account, so no outside site can add them. These pages exist to collect logins and personal data, push survey spam, or get you to install tampered software that can compromise your phone and your account. Search results for GoodShort include this kind of page, so be careful what you tap. Our guide to whether short drama apps are safe explains what to watch for.
Cheapest way to finish a series
Bonus coins from ads and check-ins won’t take you far into a long series. The real choice is coins versus VIP.
Coins for the last few episodes. GoodShort’s App Store listing shows coin packs starting at 500 coins for $4.99 and going up to 2,500 coins for $24.99. If you’re close to the end, a small pack plus whatever bonus coins you’ve earned is usually the cheaper option.
VIP for a binge. GoodShort’s Play listing says VIP lets you watch premium dramas free and without ads, download episodes for offline viewing, and watch in 1080p. The App Store lists Weekly VIP options at $5.99, $9.99 and $19.99. If you have many locked episodes left, one week of VIP can undercut buying coins.
Cancel on time. The Play listing says subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off 24 hours before the current period ends, and that there’s no mid-period cancellation. On Android, cancel from the Play Store under your profile, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions. GoodShort’s user agreement says payments are non-refundable except as its terms provide, and it doesn’t give partial refunds for cancelling mid-cycle.
