Version history on this page starts on Aug 24, 2026, when we began recording it. Rating, installs and the update date describe the official app on Google Play, not this build. Versions and sizes change often. These were current at the time of writing — if you spot one that has drifted, tell us.
Where it stands
Works in its favour
- 116K ratings on 5M+ installs is a solid review base for that tier.
- The official app carries both ads and in-app purchases; neither applies here.
Worth knowing first
- At ~101MB it is one of the seven downloads here that pass 100MB.
- 4.4 is below most of this list, where six apps reach 4.7.

NetShort
Top pickOur starting recommendation. A larger install at ~104MB, and the catalogue is broad enough that most people find something on the first evening.

Premium Unlocked
From Agile Quadrant Media, ~85MB. Sits in the middle on size and on library breadth.
v2.27.085.44MB
Premium Unlocked
From GoodNovel, a web-novel publisher, so the catalogue leans on adapted fiction. At ~52MB it is also among the smallest downloads here.

Frequently asked
About ShortsWave
How does ShortsWave unlock episodes?
Premium Unlocked. Everything unlocked. No purchase, no subscription, no ads. Premium is enabled inside the app, so episodes that would normally sit behind coins or a subscription just play. Nothing to buy and no ads between episodes.
What version is this and how big is the download?
The current build is v2.64.02, at 100.71MB. It installs as a normal APK and does not need root.
Is there a limit on how much I can watch?
Everything is unlocked, with no purchase and no ads. One app on this site applies a daily viewing allowance of its own, and where that is the case it is listed under "Worth knowing first" above — so if nothing there mentions an allowance, there is none.
