Worked great for years Now no longe discovers serviio dlna server I thought it was the router or the server but another dlna app picked it right up         Stopped discovering Serviio Dclangst
This is the only DLNA video playing app that I know of that lets me lock video playback into landscape mode The app is also very stable not glitchy which speaks a lot these days It also works well with the DLNA devices software on my network and has a pleasing UX Love it                     Definitely worth the money zumo21
A lot of usability features need to be included in this paid version One I immediately I need is the vertical BAR like menu which appears once click on an icon of landing page must also be scrollable             Good to start with for 3 dollars not 5 dollars PremKumarNet
It s awesome but I need to play the files that are in my phone that I put under TV with iTunes how can I do that that s so important no sense in downloading files twice to make it work with your app other than that I give this app for stars                 A great app but iTrippedStudio
I have been using this app for couple of months It was very good and useful until it needed to connect to remote DLNA server over IP6 This app on my iPhone will not connect to server My DLNA servers are working fine If my phone is connected to internet through Wifi app can connect to DLNA server I have contacted developer however they didn t couldn t resolve this issue So app is just sitting here useless     Does not work with IP6 Satya Ks
It will connect but nothing else does not play any video or show pictures     Chromecast Support MaBlaylock42
Works great as UPNP player Big request is that the folder icons should be represented by the album cover artwork once you are at artist level or album level Right now the album artwork only displays when you drill down to the track level of a folder It would really improve the browsing experience if at artist level it could be the artwork of the first album it finds or a composite quad image of 2 or more album covers At the album level displaying the album artwork would be ideal as opposed to the folder icon currently displayed People connect to the artwork not folder icons Thanks                     Album Artwork Request Fetchmeone
This controller enables DNLA playback from virtually any source all sources that I tried on any renderer on your network In other words it does what a controller is supposed to do and it s fast and it doesn t crash This basic functionality is surprisingly hard to find for iOS Furthermore I had no trouble making playlists To get a 5th star I d want to see two additional features that are missing 1 display the format and nitrate of the track currently being played 2 the ability to order tracks residing on a DNLA server by track number instead of alphabetically this feature appears to be present in settings but I haven t successfully gotten it to work                 DNLA controller does the job missing some features D114
I ve been looking for this app ever since I moved my music collection to a NAS This is by far the best DLNA player I ve found for any platform Thank You                     Finally I have my music back Vuelto
This works great with my home network and streaming all my media vi PS3 Media Server However I deduct 1 star because every now and then it hangs when switching tracks It seems to be related to wireless I run the program on my phone ipad using a wireless network and then connect to my cordless headphones via blue tooth When this issue is resolved I will return the last star                 Just what I was looking for almost KRC_ARK
No help no directions no service Don t waste your money Would ask fir my 6 back but I ve wasted enough time trying to get the app to work     Worst 6 I ever spent Momofalien
Easiest mythtv frontend for iPad iPhone                     Works as a mythtv front end Clustered
The only DLNA app where we h client app worked well What a value                     Actually works as a client trebryan
Used to be the best Now it no longer connects to dlna server or HDD recorder     Was good but update killed DLNA server connection TiboriusMax
Using with Mediamonkey gold Bubbleupnp and Chromecast audio Works great with MM collections search and playlists Flawless with Playon Very little battery use on iPad Mini and iPhone6 Extremely happy with this app and my setup                     8player review Norwoodmanor
Only thing really missing is security for settings ability to turn off download ability and ability to filter what is available on Home Screen to allow kids to watch and maybe only access a DLNA server or Favorites                     Cool simple interface RegorGnatsrag
I love this app is awesome I can see my movies and music from this app Love it                     Amazing app Jshaw29
Bad design with icon takes too much space cannot show full file name Useless now     Worse design for the new release John peanuts
This app is unmanageable It stops hangs crashed on its own The features appear to be good but most of them are unstable Unless the developer fixes the bugs it s a loss and a waste of money and should be reported to google and iTunes     Very Unstable and full of bugs joec1237
This app doesn t work with a NAS It would not self discover my Synology NAS so I had to enter the url Once I entered the url every time I click on servers to connect to the NAS the app crashes I then bought FileBrowser which is awesome it self discovers and works perfectly for using any type of file movies docs songs pics etc stored on my NAS and is really easy convenient and fast I deleted this absolutely useless 8player app from my device and I am going to demand a refund not sure how to do this on iOS app store but I will find out     NAS Crash City Nushagak
I ve been a long time user and reluctant fan of this app for several years now I ll concede that I ve strayed over that time but I keep coming back Hoping I have a very large music collection 5k LPs 20k CDs around 14TBs of digitized music total First I do appreciate the DLNA improvements and other similar enhancements unfortunately those are not what s front and center for users I ll just say it the new interface is atrocious icons are way too large at least for my tastes Perhaps provide an option for S M L navigating MediaMonkey directories is painful almost literally You select server then MediaMonkey or other DLNA then artist or location or album etc then you go in again from there and so on Now the journey there is not bad at all but getting back Warm up your wrist and fingers You have to swipe back once for each layer deep you went in Cumbersome to say the least album track selection interface suffers dramatically in that you are only presented with the cover art and title Where s the artist Album name Option for detail view vs cover art Why not provide options for displaying or hiding tagged metadata This isn t as big of an issue when finding a song on an album but from a playlist it s a complete nightmare These are but a few of the frustrations with the interface There are soooooo many new features that I ve been hoping to see for years but instead you decide to focus on an interface update I don t get it unless the new interface is required for these elusive items on said wish list perhaps One can hope I really do like this app and I love it s potential Here s to hoping we live to see it one day         Yeah it looks prettier but LowPop
Crashes after opening it it worked fine earlier but not anymore Open and crashes     Crashes after opening it iOS 9 JATX1972
Exactly what I was looking for The new interface is perfect                     Love it Niterider516
Was using since 1 year initially working fine and later become worst and thought of rid of this app and again tried today great suprise and complete new look working great My Primary DLNA app Thank You                     Awesome Improvement Ashwin99
Great App works like a charm Gets supported by developer Latest UI update is awesome Works without any hassles with my DLNA server Def worth purchasing 5 Stars                     Absolute Gold Russza
This is a full featured easy to use media player It works great with any DLNA or UPNP devices on your network It s easy to set up and use One feature this player has that no others have is the ability to sort songs by the track number in the ID3 tag in folder view Most players just sort them alphabetically My only complaint with this app is that it is buggy when running in the background About a third of the time tracks don t advance when the app is running in the background Even when bringing it to the foreground the music won t play unless you kill the app and restart                 Overall a great player A little buggy playing music in the background BobG813
Great app Sometimes it suddenly halts when downloading but even so it s pretty cool to listen directly from my storage using dlna and also locally after download I recommend                 Great app Roberto.Leite
Looked and looked for a decent player to run my music from a WD MyCloud NAS to the iPad This player runs it and my Windows Media Server well Has ability to create its own playlists to play song combinations from any server source Has nice looking browser Easy and intuitive to use for my wife                 Best audio or music player for server
As of latest update it keeps pausing I think the idea about keeping it plugged in to a charger works but please fix soon Otherwise love this app It reads my multiple network drives and works well with Apple TV to display the video on my tv              Pause prob
I downloaded nearly all DLNA players in App Store and this is the only one which support plugin subtitles I used the lite one first It is worth to buy the full one                 Its the best DLNA player
It works with every type of dlna it supports external dlna it supports cover art it supports custom sorting what more could you ask for                 The best DLNA player
It does not support common audio codec used by HDHomeRun Extend Dont waste your money on this junk     Do not buy this
Works really well with my media server iPhone ipad and apple tv I can sit at a sofa and use my iPhone to throw from the server video pic or music to my tv                 Great app
until the latest update Now it crashes more often than a blind drunk race car driver It cant go more than an hour without crashing often only a few minutes Its completely unusable in its current state     Was great
Poor app     Audio doesnt work
All our CDs are stored on a Synology NAS using iPad and Oppo 105 as a rendered music only only app I could find that would play an album all the way through Rest stop after a single song Very speedy navigation given the number of albums we have Great job                 Works great for me
I spent the money hoping the full version would play my mkv files and it doesnt Says the audio decoder is unavailable Dont bother trying to use this to play media files     doesnt work
Simple yet powerful                 Excellent
I had to change my review after the last update it didnt work I found I had to restart my server Now its better                 Works
Ive been very happy with this app Simple way to stream video from my miniDLNA server One request though I would be nice to have a quick forward or back button simialr to those in the Postcast app                 great app
The lite version did everything I wanted Worked from load The only issue I have is when it cant render a video it bails instead of throwing an error message Makes it hard to know what is wrong              Works the way it should
I have a Twonky media server and this is the best app I have found to access content on that server I can access it from my home network or from the Internet I can select a large playlist and start playing tracks while the whole list is loading other apps make you wait for the list to load before you can play anything As other reviewers have stated pausing a track is not a good thing Playback will pick up again but very shortly the app will crash If you were accessing a remote source you have to go back through all of the menus to find your place Very annoying The app seems to be very sensitive to network changes If I move around while I am using it the signal strength will vary This usually gets the app stuck It will stop playing a track It will stop loading files from a playlist In both cases you need to start over again I find myself using my mobile data even at home because I wont run into network strength issues like this A wishlist item is support for ChromeCast That would be quite a nice addition I like a lot about this app but I would like it even more if it were more stable in certain situations           Stability is an issue
There are a ton of DLNAUPNP apps out that handle video well but few that do audio well This app excels here Navigation is fluid audio continues in the background and folders play continuously by default The UI is gorgeous a well                 Excellent for music
There are many apps that stream from a DLNA device but I found this one to be the best Sure its easy to make a nice user interface but this one stays simple and offer a cool way to see the previous directory The real breaking point I had was all the other apps seemed to not spent any time in the video playback I would skip to a certain time and it would either skip to end of the video or the start This is the only app I could find that brought me to the time I wanted and fast I have only one suggestion for improvement and thats the slider for the time Its a bit too small Other than that everything is perfect                 Just what I was looking for
Works great with xbmcopenelec on raspberry pi with external hd Hope they keep the updates coming                 BEST upnp player
Update Pause crash is still unfixed I am going to try Plex app until 8player can get it together Update I just found that if you keep your iPhone connected to a charger you can prevent the pause bug from crashing the app But as soon as you unplug it from the charger itll crash a minute later Maybe it has something to do with the screen lock Update Had been working great up until this update Its annoying how after pausing and then when you press play after about a minute the app will close And as dphilippe said you lose your place Works great with Serviio Streaming out of the network over the internet works great As long as you have plenty of upload speed at home and a decent signal on your device     Please fix pause problem
Very good app for streaming contect from a NAS device to your iPad or iPhone I am using it to stream video from a Western Digital MyBook Live and Western Digital MyCloud I like that this app does not require an additional software download to work like some of its competitors do Air Playit and Air Video HD The app seems pretty stable and I have only experienced buffering issues occassionally This app however occassionaly gives an error message about a missing audio codec AC3 on certain files and directs the user to try the video playback on VLC If this app could play every file it would be excellent              Very Good
Works great                 Great
This app is the best most consistent featurefilled app for streaming media from a NAS hands down Others either dont have upnp support at all dont recognize my server or do little more than allow me to find individual files 8 player does all of these things allowing me to control all my media from anywhere easily and quickly Keep up the good work                 Best media server app for upnp
Seems like with every release an additional codec is dumped so some formats can not be played Maybe time to dump this     Losing codecs
I wanted it to do I uploaded my mp3s to my NASstorage and now I can access these files easily with this app Thank you for your great work Keep it up                 This app does everything
I specifically bought this app so I could stream 1080p MKV files to my ipad the description claims MKV files are supported Some key audio codecs are missing from this claim These guys definitely need to step it up they are the highest rated media server app on the App Store from what I see yet there are major holes in the codecs they provide Looking forward to a fix     Key codecs missing
Im using 8player to play my audiovideo files from my Synology NAS drive running Synologys embedded DLNA media server to my Oppo bdp105 bluraymedia player and this app works flawlessly I can keep my tv and my laptop off while playing music This is one great DLNA media streaming IOS app                 One GREAT App
This app frequently loses contact with the server and there does not appear to be any way to fix that There are also several file types that it cannot play Finally updates are relatively rare and it looks like the improvement of this app has largely been abandoned by the developer Best possible improvement would be the addition of chrome cast        Below average performance
Watch movies on my iPad every night Its a first gen and this still runs on it That alone is impressive Had the demo forever and felt it was was worth just buying it because I already knew Id use it                 Favorite app
I paid for this app because it had a comprehensive list of codecs With every new release the author removes one or two codecs I was hoping that the author used the money he made out of the app to pay for the codecs        App works just fine but keeps removing codecs
Ive never seen worse UPnP playback     Choppy
As for playing music from 45000 music Library 8Player does it very Well This App is easy to set and use Other DLNA Apps have some 8Player features but not all I use an Asus Dark Knight wDLNA with Large Data BASE Of my music And it works very well indeed                 Better than the other Apps So I Declare Silicon Supremacist
Downloaded the lite version but after previewing my videos it wouldnt allow me to play any of the videos So had to buy the full version in order to watch them For 499 it better let me watch the videos with no limitations           So far so good
Sorry I know it takes allot of effort and time to build aps But not a single thing works Here     Hmmm
In the past I would have given this app 4 or 5 stars but with the author removing codecs and not specifying which are removed Im giving it 3 stars           Would like to know which codecs were removed
When I bought the app it was great and played everything As other users have noted the author keeps removing codecs and now the app plays next to nothing The next thing to be removed from my point of view is this app from my ipad     Used to be great
This app keeps downgrading by losing codec because of license problems     Losing more codecs not again
Constant FC and freezes when playing video Update It now plays videos very well It stutters with some HD videos but not others All formated the same mp4 Picture slideshow is okay but it wont let me search in subfolders And trying to list all photos causes the app to force close I have over 200000 photos It will only list 30000 before FC I have found an app that allows me to do what I need though Wish it was this one The music player is the best Ive found           Ok app
XCELLENT PLAYER I USE IT 4 MY SEAGATE WIRELESS DEVICE IT WORKED AMAZINGLY IM A TRUCK DRVR I STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE LIMITED APP THAT COMES WITH MY DEVICE 8PLAYER CAME 2 MY RESCUE 4 ONLY 6BUKS THANK U Ja ALL I WISHEDIS IT CUD HAVE PLAYED AUDIO BOOKS DIS IS DA ONLY DOWN FALL                 8PLAYER IS THE TRU PLAYER LOL
God forbid you pause in this version AirPlay drops and app closes and you lose your place     Pause
Automatically skips out all of the possible surfers on your network also a lot of searching also allows you to browse my folder which is huge if you have a really large MP3 collection                 By far the best DLNA player
It say you can load your files and play your video from your phone ipad and stream to supported media device my case sony but the app wont load my files on my device to play them Nothing I lost 5 and did not even get to use it at all I think its scam     Dose not work as advertised
Well maintained by the developer and very reliable                 Excellent App
Unless the lite version plays every file that you want do not bother with the full version as it is a waste of money     Horrible app non existing customer support
I use this app to check up on my media server Works like it said it would                 Awesome app
I can stream video from my NAS but the sound doesnt play properly on most files Either theres no sound at all or the wrong sound is played commentary other languages etc Theres a menu to choose different sound tracks but it doesnt do anything when I use it     Audio doesnt play on most files
Im currently using 8player with a Serviio server running on a Mint Linux box 8player does an excellent job Also use as a remote for Samsung smart TV as a remote control for music and movies The only complaint I would have is the search function not sure if this is Serviio or 8player but I never seems to be able to search songs or movies Have to admit that I never use the photo option only music and movies Overall a good product well worth the cost              Works well with Serviio
I use this to play and control content from my Netgear Stora Would be perfect if I could sent the output to my Chromecast              Almost perfect
So far most videos 90 return a message that the audio isnt available The videos are home made and on several devices so it isnt a licensing problem The audio works in other players Photos every photo album has two of each photo listed and displays two of each photo when viewing the photos manually or in show view This is an 8player problem as the directory on My Cloud is correct and photos display properly in WDPhoto program     Not so good
This is the BEST DNLA player out there I have triedpayed for many of the available iOS players All claim to do what only this player does That is just work I have a large library of music and video streaming from a Mezzmo server this is the only player to properly stream over my intranet as well as over the Internet to my iPhone and iPad                 The best DLNA player available
Slow and crashes after last update Using IOS7 and it now does not work as smoothly as it did before     Slow and crashes after last update
