How to watch Candy Shorts free, step by step

What you need before you start

A phone or a computer with a current browser, an email address you can open, and about five minutes. That is the full list. You do not need a card, a phone number, a wallet or any app. Candy Shorts run in the browser on Candy AI, and the free part never asks for payment details.

You also need to be an adult. Candy AI asks for an age confirmation before episode 1 plays and again when you create the account. Every series on the platform is made for viewers aged 18 and over.

The steps in order

The whole sequence takes less time than one episode. If a site offers a different sequence involving a file, a code or a mirror, it is not Candy AI and it will not give you more than this.

1. 1
   Open Candy AI in Safari, Chrome or any modern browser and find the Shorts section in the main menu.
2. 2
   Choose a series. The series page shows the episode list; episode 1 carries a play button and no lock.
3. 3
   Press play and confirm you are over 18. Episode 1 runs in the vertical player. You are not logged in and nothing has been asked of you beyond the age question.
4. 4
   When episode 1 ends, episode 2 shows a prompt to sign up. Choose the free account, enter an email address, confirm your age and verify the email if asked.
5. 5
   Return to the series and press play on episode 2. It is now unlocked on this account, on every device you log into.
6. 6
   At episode 3 you reach the paywall. From here you either buy tokens or take Premium, or you move to another series and watch its two free episodes instead.

What you do not need

• No card: the free account has no payment step and no trial that converts into a charge.
• No app: there is nothing in the app stores from Candy AI for Shorts, and nothing to install.
• No invitation or code: the free episodes are open to anyone who confirms their age.
• No separate login per device: one free account works on your phone and your computer.

Phone and computer

The steps are the same on both. On a phone the vertical player fills the screen and a swipe moves to the next episode. On a computer the player sits in the centre of the window and the arrow keys do the same job. Nothing extra unlocks on either; the phone and computer guides in the menu cover the details.

After the free episodes

Paid episodes cost 12 tokens each on most series, 30 or 50 on a few. Premium is a subscription in US dollars as Candy AI shows it: 3.99 USD per month on the 12 month plan, 8.99 USD per month on the 3 month plan, 9.99 USD for the first month and 13.99 USD after that on the monthly plan. Premium opens every episode of every series plus the chat and picture features. Whether tokens or Premium suits you depends on how many series you intend to finish; the comparison is in free vs Premium.

Four series to try the steps on

All four give episode 1 logged out and episode 2 with the free account. Our Exchange Student is a five episode series about a host family and a university student, an adult, 12 tokens per paid episode. Don't Tell Your Mother! is five episodes built on a kept secret, also 12 tokens. Our New Babysitter and The Prince's Last Week Unwed follow the same pattern: five episodes, two free, 12 tokens. The rest of the 36 series are on the series page.
