How to cancel 8player subscription ⁉️

User reviews

Does not honor the purchase

I purchased the Pro version and you now want a subscription to replace what I paid for. Refund me or let me keep the version I bought. You are disabling my working version. That’s like theft.

Great with iPad and Sonos

I have all my content stored on a media server (an old GoFlex Home), and I stream it via AirPlay to my Sonos speakers. Really useful, and the recent subscription is not too expensive

Don’t bother

Paid for pro years ago now even basic playback from dlna server locked out, don’t bother responding with canned response devs, I’ve deleted and gone to VLC

Автор вор!

Деньги были заплачены за Pro, а теперь автор требует заново платить. Требую возврата денег! Не связываетесь с этим мошенником.

Response from developer

Спасибо за ваш отзыв и за прежнюю поддержку 8player. Мы понимаем, что это изменение вызывает разочарование. Это решение далось нам непросто. Чтобы продолжать поддерживать приложение, исправлять ошибки, обеспечивать совместимость с новыми версиями iOS и tvOS и добавлять новые функции, у нас было только два реалистичных варианта: полностью прекратить поддержку приложения или перейти на модель подписки. Мы понимаем, что это может не соответствовать вашим ожиданиям, и благодарим вас за то, что нашли время поделиться своим мнением.

WAY too basic

On AppleTV, the UX is just way too basic. Simply wouldn’t function as a viable video player. It has to be usable by people that know nothing about where the media is, and this isn’t that app.
