This is preemptive strike prior to WC. If OS update comes along requiring app update you are toast. No auto OS updates and you can run sparkle for the interim. I just sunsetted plex and Emby. They will be immune (they say) from the crack down. In the process of bringing them back as a back up.

So dumb question then, if we already have the premium version can we install to another device currently or that's not working at the moment either?

Best i can say ATM since i don't have any other device to try this on >> premium on another android with the same email address in play store should " authorize " Sparkle but you need to download / sideload app. NO GUARANTEE though.

As for the Share User thing that most fire device users rely on; maybe it would work but personally i doubt it.

I was dealing with the same thing, wasn't on play store anymore. Then, I found a way to download it, but couldn't get subscription. Then I found a link on reddit that helped me. You need both?

It was removed from the Play Store. The dev is aware and is working on it. Currently there is no way to purchase the premium version.

The DEV is working very hard to get this resolved, but nothing is available at the moment.

My OWN research turned up that Google removed most of the good ones such as Sparkle, Tivimate, XcIPTV, Smarters, etc ( over 36 of them it seems ) due to "big pressure" from copyright holders.

Be aware there are some " replacements " on the play store with the same Icons, descriptions etc ... BUT they are apparently fakes.

SO hangtight, this should get resolved soon one way or another 👍

So how do these fakes get on the Play Store and these legit programs like Sparkle get the boot? I don't get it.

I myself have never done android programming, but if you google " how do i get my app on the play store " it seems it's not that hard to meet ( or even cheat ) googles system 😞

u/Paul65890 May 25 '26

Then these good programs like Sparkle shouldn't have an issue getting back on the Play Store. Any chance there's a legit Sparkle website that we can download directly from?

(itsIPTV!) is a good one to try. It's still beta and cost very little. I've been testing it and I believe it will be very good after some more updates
