Afrihost + Add-On Suggestion

A movie streaming service might actually be really awesome....as long as its not Showmax or Netflix, then I will gladly sign up :)...I have a standby Netflix account in case my current streaming service goes down, haven't touched Netflix in nearly 3 months.

Netflix still needs work, lots of work in my opinion nothing much has changed, I checked it again on Thursday because my current service was bombing out due to maintenance on the server. I'm currently using https://gomovies.to/. So unless Netflix pulls a rabbit out their A$$es, I don't think people would sign up.

I think we should stick to adding a new music service Afriman:)...more value for money don't you think?

Pretty sure these sites are not legal.

Not offering any judgement in terms of your own private viewing activities, but it wouldn't be a good move commercially if Afrihost were to start promoting them.

Any news on this? A Google Play Music sub will be amazing.

I agree. I recently got AH+, and figured I'd activate Simfy. It's a frustrating experience.

Some issues off the top of my head:

- Regular server disconnections
- You need flash, otherwise music won't play at all
- Links / menu items that don't do what you expect

For many years, SoundCloud has been my primary source of music. It looks like that won't change. How a paid service is behind a free one in terms of usability and stability boggles my mind.
 
Pretty much joined the AH+ option since its inception and Simfy...well...meh. Thought I'd install the app on both my daughters tablets and let them have a go at it for a while... they actually forgot about it after I subscribed to a family plan on Google Play Music.

So I'm all for a different music streaming option.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely pass it on to our Team! :)

I can't got into too much detail yet, but we are looking into a few things.

How about Spotify...? Launching in SA next week! Would absolutely love this over Simfy!

That would be pretty exciting! Simfy came as part of our relationship with MTN, though. I'm not sure whether that will change soon, but I do know that there will be some exciting new additions coming to Afrihost Plus+ soon. :)

I hate that word "soon"

Excited nonetheless!

If you already have a Spotify subscription, your switch to the local offering will be seamless, said the company.

Spotify representatives said that when you log in from South Africa you will be able to change your region, and your payment method, to access the South African price.

You won’t lose any of your playlists and there will be no difference between its South African catalogue and what it has on offer internationally.

Only a “very very tiny amount of content” may not be available in one market that is available in another. This is due to minor differences in global licensing, said Spotify.

“There will absolutely be no geoblocking when traveling internationally,” it said.

Features such as personalised Discover Weekly playlists will be available immediately. New subscribers will have to wait a few days for the service to learn about their listening habits, however.

The announcement comes after the service launched in South Africa on 12 March.
Payment

Spotify currently only offers the option to pay by credit card. The ability to generate gift vouchers on its website, which are bought by credit card, are also available.

Spotify said it is also exploring local partnerships with network operators – looking at integrated billing and zero-rating data for its service.

It is also investigating alternative payment methods, such as vouchers.
