PlayOn Desktop is an earlier-generation computer app that does not support Windows 11 Closed-Captioning and many content channels that are now supported by PlayOn Home. Hence, it is no longer being supported and is discontinued. Instead, PlayOn Desktop is rebranded as PlayOn Home and PlayOn Cloud with similar features but many more offerings.
However, Lifetime members of PlayOn desktop are rejected by PlayOn, without any compensation. Therefore, many PlayOn subscribers/members are looking for a better alternative.
