After 10 years the app I paid for suddenly changed to a subscription model, without prior notice. not a nice move. They claim it's for 'sustaining development', but 1) they should have announced it properly 2) Allowed already paid customers to choose which model they'd like
Thank you for your feedback and for your long time support of 8player. We understand why this change feels especially disappointing, particularly for users who purchased the app years ago and did not expect this transition. Information about the upcoming change was shown inside the app starting with version 8.0 released in March. This was a difficult decision for us. To keep the app maintained, fix issues, support new iOS and tvOS versions and add new features, we had only two realistic options: fully stop supporting the app or move to a subscription model. We understand that this may not meet your expectations, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback.
