The three guides
Episode 1 for free goes from the button over a preview to the player on Candy AI. It compares the preview, episode 1 and episode 2 in a small table, and tells you what happens at the paywall.
Watching on your phone covers iPhone and Android: why there is no app, how to add Candy AI to your home screen, and how much data a preview uses.
The categories guide explains the labels Candy AI puts on its series, with the number of titles in each on this site.
Read them in any order. Each guide is built to stand alone, with its own steps and its own table or list, and all of them point back to the same free path: preview here, episode 1 on Candy AI, episode 2 with a free account.
Reference pages worth bookmarking
The free page lists exactly what costs nothing and what to avoid. The pricing page holds the token totals and the three Premium plans in USD. The previews hub puts every 18-second clip on one page, which is the fastest way to pick something to watch. If you only have a minute, open the new this week list and take the newest clip. The series table is better when you want to compare cost before you tap anything.
When something does not work
Most trouble comes from the browser, not from Candy AI. Try these before anything else:
- The preview does not play: clips start muted when they scroll into view, so scroll slowly, tap once, and check that your browser is not blocking autoplay.
- The episode will not start: refresh the page, switch from mobile data to Wi-Fi, or try another browser.
- The age check loops: allow cookies for Candy AI, leave private browsing and try again.
- Episode 2 is locked: it needs a free account. Log in or create one, then reopen the series.
- Episode 3 asks for tokens: that is the paid part, normal on every series here.
- The sound is missing: raise your device volume, then check the player, since clips on this site are always silent by design.
Still stuck
Work through the list from top to bottom and stop at the first fix that works. Most of the time the cause is a blocked autoplay setting, an old tab or a weak connection. Switching browsers is the quickest test, and it costs nothing.
Reload the series from the card in the Shorts section of Candy AI, not from an old tab. If a title seems missing, our series page shows what we cover and the new this week list shows what we added lately. Never download an episode from a third-party site or install a mod APK to get around a problem: the series only play on Candy AI.
