While Infuse is one of the most used apps on my iPad I was a little disappointed that iOS 8 compatibility (I was unable to load videos using WiFi after the upgrade) required an upgrade to a new version that came with a price tag attached to it. The up side was that they are offering a discounted upgrade to pro price of $2.99.
And literally takeover hours after I updrafe to pro to enable streaming. They add that functionality to the free version.
