Best DLNA music player for the iPhone. Only gripe: Download All does not play albums in the Music area in the right order. I have the order set to Track N, but it plays the downloaded music in alpha order.UPDATE: connecting to a Bluetooth speaker is very unstable. I use a JBL Extreme and a couple of other smaller speakers. Pausing music causes the DLNA connection to be dropped a few minutes later when continuing playing. This is with ios12 but has existed as a problem since gapless playback was introduced.

Apple Apps User Review
I am extremely disappointed with the recent changes made to this app. I originally purchased it under a one-time payment model, with the expectation of continued access to the features I paid for. However, the developer has since shifted to a subscription-based model, effectively restricting access unless I pay again.This change feels unfair and undermines user trust. Customers who supported the app early on are now being asked to repurchase functionality they already paid for, without any meaningful accommodation or grandfathering of existing users.Transparency and respect for paying customers are essential in maintaining credibility. Unfortunately, this experience has done the opposite. I would strongly caution potential users to carefully consider this track record before purchasing, as the pricing model and access terms may change in ways that are not favorable to existing customers.
Developer Response
Thank you for your detailed feedback and for your past support of 8player. We understand why this change feels especially unfair and disappointing to users who originally purchased the app under a one time payment model. 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 concerns so clearly.
Works well, reasonably priced

I purchased this for Apple TV because I was having issues with VLC app connecting to network shares (on Apple TV but not iPhone). Well worth the $5. This app also supports flv files. The app indeed plays the next item in the folder if you enable the feature in Settings.One thing I don't like is that you have to enable Windows File Sharing if using a Mac.The one feature it is lacking is a "next" button (next item/video), which would be convenient to have along with the existing "skip ahead 30 seconds" button. The skip 30 seconds does indeed work very well, but tedious is watching longer video.
Stay away! App is so-so; developer is greedy!
Chapter_9
I bought this app more than two years ago, when it was still sold as a one-time purchase. The app was only okay: the help section was practically nonexistent, the interface had inconsistencies, and sorting never worked properly. The main feature that justified the price was the ability to stream media from OneDrive instantly without waiting for a full download.What is especially disappointing is that, in more than two years, I saw no meaningful improvement to the app. Then the developer switched to a subscription model, and I assumed that existing customers who had already paid for the Pro version would not be affected. I was wrong.After updating the app, I discovered that unless I start paying again on a recurring basis, I lose access to the Pro features I originally paid for and am subjected to ads. Meanwhile, the new subscription version shows no meaningful improvement over the Pro version I had already purchased.That is a terrible way to treat existing customers. Very disappointing. I will be deleting the app from all of my devices, and I would not recommend it to others.
