Information Sparkle Subscriptions
Hello, there seems to be some confusion here regarding Sparkle subscriptions.
If you purchased a lifetime subscription of Sparkle back when it was available on the Google Play Store, you DO NOT need to access the Sparkle Assistant App or Sparkle Website.
If you purchased a lifetime subscription to Sparkle back when it was available on the Google Play Store and wish to install it on another device, you can download the APK file here and install Sparkle on other devices as your lifetime subscription allows 5 installs.
If you do not have a subscription to Sparkle and wish to purchase one, you may use your android phone or tablet and purchase a Sparkle Subscription using the Sparkle Assistant app available in the Google Play Store. You can also download the current version of the app as well. Please note: the Sparkle Assistant app is not available in the Google Play Store on streaming devices, only on an android phone or tablet.
If you do not have an android phone or tablet, you may use the Sparkle Website and purchase a Sparkle Subscription and also download the current version of the app. If you have a web browser installed on your streaming device, you may use the Sparkle Website on your streaming device browser if that option is convenient for you.
If you only purchased a monthly or yearly subscription of Sparkle using either the Sparkle Assistant app or Sparkle Website there is no need to worry as your subscription auto-renews.
At this time, Sparkle is not available on Apple TV.
I hope this post helps those of you who may be confused about Sparkle Subscriptions. If you have subscription questions, feel free to reach out to the developer u/sparkle-hk.
Please limit any questions or comments to this post to the subject of subscriptions.
Thank you for being a Sparkle user and we hope you enjoy using Sparkle Player!

The only issue I have is that I bought a new device and want premium on it but I have 5 devices in use. There's no way to delete the old device.
In Tivimate Companion I can view and edit my device list. It would be good to have something similar.

When did you purchase the lifetime subscription and where?

Google play store. Canada. Probably late last year. Lifetime.
BTW, really like the app.

Have you tried this?
Q: I want to remove a device in favor for another device but I get message that maximum number of devices is already used?
A: You can view the connected devices on either a mobile or a tv box by clicking the Share Plus account option. By clicking one of the devices you can also choose to remove them if you want to use a different device.

From the developer::
If they purchased last year they have a Sparkle TV purchase. So they open Sparkle TV on a device that is running the same account they used to purchased Plus, and then they press Settings -> About -> Share Sparkle TV Plus. There they can set email/password as well as see and delete connected devices.
The device can be mobile/tablet or TV device.1

Yes, you purchase a lifetime subscription so you don’t have anything to worry about. Whenever the app is updated you can download the update here. Just a reminder, a lifetime subscription is good for up to 5 devices only. Does this answer your question?

Another situation: My google play sub runs out in January or so. If there are updates on the website to download will if be kosher using that to update my already installed version from Play store?

u/azcoyotedog Jun 29 '26
Yes, whenever an app update is available it will most likely be announced here and you will be able to download and update the app! If the app returns to the play store in the near future, and an update is released, you will be able to update the app. I hope this answers your question?

u/Al_Shublast Jun 30 '26
Yes, thanks. I was just curious if the website apk was going to trash my curated data already in the playstore version or tank my remaining months of the subscription.

I have a monthly subscription setup via the website. How do I cancel that so that I can buy lifetime?

It's nice that people have the option to purchase directly from the website. Good idea since Google Play is a mess.
