Can someone tell me if this device has any paid subscription at all? Some devices make you pay for their website services and I want to avoid that.

No, there is no subscription required. They do periodic software updates, but they are free.

I do not pay for any subscription, however, you can link it to the Cloud storage for free trial period and then pay for that after the trial period. I do not use the Cloud.

I've had it most of this year and love it. No subscription at all if you host your database on your own computer. Monthly/annual if you want to host it on the cloud (completely unnecessary) Customer service has been very helpful when I have needed it.

The only paid subscription is if you want to use their NeatCloud service (optional). Otherwise, no fees.

No I am using it without any subscription. I think the subscription that Adobe is promoting is for cloud storage services, and not the products. I would be very unhappy if they decided my paid for product now required any subscription :)

Actually there is a way to turn off the ads! You have to pay for a lifetime subscription on a device you already have a free lifetime subscription on! The way they "pay" for the free lifetime is to include ads. If you don't want the ads then you pay something like $65 to re-register the FM receiver as an ad free lifetime service. I don't find the ads all that intrusive to pay another $65.

The only thing I can speak intelligently about is that depending on when it is bought who would provide service has changed over to it now being Apple. Only problem we had was fixed with a reset though. If i find out more I will let you know.

Paid upgrade that is a free service before, I will not be surprise if they remove all features slowly and put them to paid upgrade. The 4.4.6 iOs app on iPhone can't even play mp3.

Have to be subscribed to their isecurity+ software service, like $7 a camera per month. Don't think you can get messaging to smart phone/tablet, etc without their service ( isecurity+). Then you have instant messaging 24x7. Seems their system down last two days, can't even get on website.

The $10 on debit/MC with sign up is no great bonus when you will be charged $3.95 for the service every month, plus additional $ if you use a credit card instead of a checking account. I skipped the preloaded MC debit card thing and just went with Google play $$. There was no additional sign in, no additional registration, and my son still gets it that when he spends his google play money, it's gone.

It may have had one but I'm not aware of it, I do pay a monthly fee for all needed service. We added it the week it became available and have not had any problems.

Yes you need a subscription in order for it to upload the data. The app on the phone will auto sign in so you can't just link it to the phone and forget about the subscription. If you need a referral for the discount let me know.

No subscription is needed. This device is largely for people like myself who get their signal over the air. 21 channels and no monthly fee. We look up the TV schedule on line.

There are several offers: 50% off tablet accessories, Google Play $10.00 to spend. Then offers for 1-3 months of service from Audible, Sirius Radio, Stitcher. Also, Dropbox (similar to Cloud) and Samsung Watchon are also offered. I hope this is helpful to you.

It is free to browse if you are strictly on your ISP WI FI network. initially I had to straighten this out with Tmobile. They haven't tried to charge since. Just make sure you Always launch using the browser, and not Tmobile (T) web2go

Don't waste your money. The device will work for a few months only. It's better to subscribe to their online service if you want to watch their content.

Darren - I don't know I received it as a gift for Xmas 2014 but only started using it in January 2015. Happy to supply log in details for you to check. I did all the relevant reboots as recommended on YouTube etc. But it is not charging

Hi. Unfortunately no. The subscription is expired and the initial one seemed to be for only a few months. Thanks for your question because I forgot to explain this.

Gotta pay the activation fee. If you shut if off and later decide to turn it back on, you'll pay the activation fee again. Trust me....it's well worth it. This is an incredible little device. Answered many questions for me.

No, there is no subscription fee even to use the app while away from home (assuming you have a data plan with your cell phone carrier)
