I bought this app, now I have to pay a subscription?
MeerI bought this app years ago, now they changed to subscription and my „pro“ features are not working anymore. I want my money back!
1door Sag*******25/04/2026Erg jammer....
MeerAan een abonnement ga ik helaas niet meedoen.
Jammer, is een goeie app waar ik, net als in het verleden, best eenmalig wil betalen voor bijvoorbeeld een geheel vernieuwde of verbeterde versie.
Maar een jaarlijks abonnement gaat het echt niet worden, er zijn namelijk genoeg alternatieven te vinden.2door Blu*******24/04/2026Ineens minder functies.
MeerDe mogelijkheden van de lifetime licentie werden recent ongevraagd zodanig beperkt, dat de app niet langer zinvol is zonder maandelijks te gaan betalen.
De app viel destijds op door zijn eenvoud, waar de toenmalige prijs mee in overeenstemming was.1door Kas*****20/04/2026Annual pay?
MeerFirst of all: it's a great DLNA app, and I've bought the pro version.
But now, I've to pay an annual fee to use it?
Imagine this: you buy a car, pay for it, and happily drive around until the dealer tells you that from now on, you've to pay him just to keep driving.....
This is a very bad move Mr. 8player!
(I can only understand that there's an
annual fee for new users)
Thanks for your response. I drew a comparison to buying a car, once I've bought it, I can drive it for as long as I want. But....I've to pay for maintenance and/or updates and that's only fair. I think you could consider this as a third option. You could offer a paid update and the user could choose whether or not to purchase it.1door Pit******19/04/2026Breach of contract
MeerI paid for a perpetal license. So you have to deliver. If not it is breach of contract.
1door A S****22/03/2026Uninstalled!
MeerSo now it’s a subscription app? I paid for the Pro perpetual license but nopes, they have to join the subscription-grifters.

MeerThis player is exactly what I am looking for! The lay-out may be simple, but the options for connecting server(s) are incredibly versatile. Fantastic! Thank you.
5door Vri***17/02/2026Love it
MeerI Like the simplicity and stability. One thing is missing imo, icloud sync between devices for settings and favorites. And maybe in the future play directly from iCloud on the Apple Tv. That would be so awesome..
Ow, can I ask for one more tiny thingy? Thumbnails4door Pet*******29/05/2025Not via chromecast playing
Meerthe player can play movies with a .ts extension but NOT stream via chrome cast. VERY PITY
1door Eno****29/03/2025Very Nice app!
MeerVery Nice quikly app between Plex and My HEOS link 2! Streaming (UPnP/dlna) FLAC’S with WiFi is sure much better than bluetooth! And this app does iT!, U hear the differents on a good hifi set!, downloading music files to mobile from server is also possible!
Only if … u can use +- on mobile for loudness …5door Edi******31/08/2023Flac files slaan over
MeerAlles werkt behalve als je Flac files af gaat spelen slaan ze één op de 5 files over.?
Nu een week verder is er een update van het programma gekomen en het probleem is over.
Fijn programma en goed ondersteuning.

Meergreat player for music, video and images on the internal network with support for chromecast audio and avmfritzmediaserver. Also via the external network using an avmFritz vpn connection or Smb server. the Nas of the avmFritzbox is fully utilized.
5door Tot*******29/06/2020As good as it gets
MeerI use 8player as controller, a remote between my NAS and AV receiver.
With DLNA a lot of functionality depends on the server and the player as well which can get problematic for controllers like 8player, but 8player keeps working well with both. I have tried a lot of DLNA controllers and the ones that were good disappeared. 8player is good and still gets updated once in a while. What I like most about it compared to others is that I can have 8player open on my iPad side by side with the app of my player. It’s also nice that it has an AppleTV app, although I don’t use that much.
It has not the most beautiful interface but it serves it’s purpose. Navigation through content is responsive but could be a bit better designed. I recently found the options to change icons and background which makes it a bit less ugly.
I once contacted support for what I thought was a bug (which was a bug in the Twonky server after all), their response was quick and kind.
For now I’ll stick with this app. But I hope it will get a decent update on the interface.
There’s also a free version, so definitely try that one out first.4door Rob****01/12/2019Prefered player
MeerI am using this from when it was very basic. Just for playing video from dnla server. Best app at that time. Just worked. Was updated, extended all the time.
4door Ing******29/07/2018Unstable, lots of battery drain
MeerDoes not find DLNA server, has to be forced closed on iPad, uses lots of battery in background.
Not recommended, unacceptable for paid version!2door D32**24/06/2018As good as it gets
