Pros and cons of 8player lite app for iPhone and iPad

8player lite app good for

Great format support, best in class for a free dlna client. Its a pity the full version is priced so high, too high to justify an upgrade.
Super App.! Funktioniert einwandfrei! Spielt MKVs ohne Probleme ab!
Been waiting for an app like this for a long time. My iPad is just as good as my PS3 now to watch media on my network - no more converting and syncing!
This was the application for stream your media from a NAS or media server until the last update. Used play all my files without, but only mp4 work. Please fix it.........it deserves 5 stars
Tried a lot of other players first this is the best. No ads I can see in 2.8. Works well.
I have downloaded a lot of network media players either it doesnt work or you need to set up some kind of bridge in order to view your media on the iPad. This one works right the box. My only issue so far is it doesnt support all audio formats .

Some bad moments

Unfortunately it does not work with generic stream media servers in NAS devices, like cisco NAS200.
Crushes the video reproduction all the time especially in VLC. And I cant access the subtitles. Already tried the solutions suggested FQA, still doesnt work.
support not restored, despite listing this as an improvement. Instead it asks to purchase the pro Version. :-(
Looks great. Time put into skins, backgrounds, icons etc. But it only plays mp4 video, wont show iPhone photos either? Did not test songs. I see a few people said it worked until the last update:(
Dear developers. Thanks for breaking this in the last update. It now gives me adds. It now only plays the first 5 videos...used to play them all. Time to pirate your app. Ads I dont mind... Limiting functionality is lame. Thanks for wasting my time. Happy?
But the lite version claims to play the first 5 added media files, but in actuality, it only plays the first 3. Further, larger HD .mkv files stutter, are choppy and are unplayable. Still looking for an all round great media player that is not crippled and does what is advertised.

Usually 8player lite iOS app used & searched for

dlna, chromecast remote, dlna player, dlna server, chrome cast remote, media server, mkv player, dlna for chromecast, and other. So, download free 8player lite .ipa to run this nice iOS application on iPhone and iPad.
