How to cancel 8player subscription ⁉️

User reviews

No way to cancel

If there is a way in the app to cancel the subscription during the 7-day free trial period, then I can’t find it. It should be an easy option in the settings. I guess the only way to cancel is to contest the charge with Apple and/or my credit card company.

Subscription model??

I paid for 8 player pro. Now they want a subscription. I’ve switched to free open source app VLC.

Don’t download this scam

Great little app that could connect to DLNA or SMB servers for media sharing. I paid for the “lifetime” pro version. Now 8soft broke their agreement in order to get me to pay a subscription without any benefit. Look at all the angry customers who are done with you. Hope the extra thousands in revenue from people who don’t care will go far. Your reviews will never recover.

Thanks for respecting your ‘valued users’.

Was a happy user. Happily paid for full version years ago , to use the app. Now I have an update, devs decided to shake down their old customers. Here’s the message in the now broken app. Thanks guys!. I feel so valued I want my money back!. Let me know when you send it. I have the receipt right here.

“Thank you for being a valued 8player user.
