FlexTV has racked up 5 million-plus downloads on Google Play, a milestone the app hit as of August 8, 2026, according to Similarweb data. The number lands just as the microdrama app race tightens, with a handful of platforms now jostling for the same vertical-video audience that ReelShort first proved was hungry for soapy, rapid-fire storytelling.
The app, published by Singapore-based YUDER PTE.LTD, offers a catalogue of short drama series, reels, and TV-style episodes designed for the phone screen. That 5 million figure on Android alone signals a user base large enough to attract serious advertiser interest and, more important, to fund original productions. FlexTV has not yet disclosed its iOS download count, but the Google Play milestone suggests total installs across both stores sit well above 8 million, given typical platform splits in key markets.
FlexTV’s ascent mirrors a broader shift. Microdrama apps keep climbing the entertainment charts on Google Play and the App Store, pulling in viewers who want cliffhangers that resolve in 90 seconds. Competitors like ReelShort and DramaBox have already shown that the format can sustain top-grossing ranks for months. FlexTV’s 5 million mark puts it in the conversation with those incumbents, though the company has operated with less fanfare.
The timing matters. August is a heavy download month in Southeast Asia and Latin America, two regions where short drama apps are seeing their fastest growth. FlexTV’s publisher, YUDER, has roots in Singapore and a content pipeline that leans into pan-Asian stories, a strategy that could give it an edge in markets where local-language series are still scarce on the bigger platforms. Expect a fresh wave of original titles and a push on the iOS side as the company looks to convert its Android momentum into a two-store footprint. The 5 million number is a signal that the microdrama ecosystem now has room for more than one or two winners.
