Does anyone else find the 'new' versions of iStripper to be really greedy and anti-consumer? Personally, I used to use the Previews to see if cards were going to be any good. Some times it would take me a while to decide. I would buy $20 worth of cards every couple weeks and that's how I made my picks. Obviously, I wasn't taking advantage as I own more then 300 shows now. But it is blatently obvious that:

A: the previews have become MUCH less revealing.
B: I don't get to keep previews that I want, they are deleted daily to 'make room' for flash sale previews.
C: Everything is now focused around buying NFTs and border art for the cards (macro-transaction scams).
D: Even in buying cards everything is focued on the gambling Events.
E. Oh yeah and the massively increased focus on Premium.
F: Even the mobile app has become a subscription ONLY app. I can't use owned shows anymore.

I haven't bought anything in like 6 months because it is now tough to find anything I care about. Seems like the new company mentality is, you are not allowed to enjoy anything here unless you are paying daily.

I test with several different Level accounts
My experience with the previews is Quite to Opposite.
In the Prior Version 1.2.xxx
Previews were limited to 7 at a time.. and rotated out about every 10 minutes.
or you can Manually add one from the Store, but still limited to just 7 at a time.

Now In Version 2.x.xxx
I've had as many as 200 previews in the preview tab.
Can't say they got automatically replaced.

In the Queue View, yes the Auto Play keeps a selection of 10 waiting to be played
but in the Store on the Preview Tab, I have not yet discovered a limit.

If I go to the store and right click a card, and download the previews, it is added to the Previews Tab.
from there I can watch and rewatch any one of the previews.


Can't really speak for the TGIF events Other than if you are a New member and want to grow your collection,
the TGIF events are one of the better ways to do it.

True they Might Not be for the Discriminating Buyer, or the Full Collection Members.


The Newer Generation is Not so much Desktop users
they are More Handheld Device users.
The Mobile Platform, Which is 100% separate from the Desktop Platform
is More Attractive to the Handheld users.

One Subscription Unlocks EVERY single card available on the Platform.
even the VR180 video clips are included.

For the Members who want Both Desktop and Mobile
the two Higher Premium options are great values.
Pay for a monthly Reload of credits for the desktop, and get a free Mobile Subscription.
plus the Premium Discounts on the Desktop New card Releases.

Anyway, that my perspective.
We all see things from a different angle I guess.

The NFT's, well they filed a void that everyone kept asking for,

I want to trade in my unwanted cards, or let me Sell my cards to a different Member..

That is Exactly what the NFT cards allow you to do.

Buy a NFT, watch it, enjoy it, then you can trade / sell it.
Sometimes you can even sell it for a Profit.
But even if you can't make a profit on it, you get back a good portion of what you paid for it,
then can use that to offset the price on the Next NFT.
Unless you are a collector, then you end up keeping them.
Sell any Duplicates, and Keep the best one for yourself.

I would tend to agree with @wyldanimal on this one, if anything Sometimes they send you too many previews. Plus in my opinion, the value of the previous is to see the outfits. If you have 1 of the girls already, you know what she looks like when she is in the NUDE.

I use Previews just to see if I like the girls.
I want to keep the same Previews, because I find it more useful than the one in version 1.9.
I suggest you learn to handle it.
At first it seems chaotic, like it starts when it wants or doesn't start, or does what it wants, but it's not true.
Previews and Queue have settings and options to do what you want. Don't forget that you have two settings for previews: In the Store and in the Queue. Your settings may cause the two to overlap. That red/green on/off button from the top right corner is for both Queue and Previews. Also you have Enable/Disable on every card for Previews/Queue.
You can download the Preview of one single card/show, and you can watch only that card/show, forever, until you go blind. Or how many you want.
Anyone who says that Queue or/and Previews don't work correctly actually doesn't know how to use them separately or in turn, doesn't know how to remove or add cards, etc.
Learn to use them! This is not C++ programming.

"Everything is focused on the gambling Events" is not true. You seem to be obsessed with those mini-games.
You want a 50% or more discount on cards just for the girls you like, without playing and without Master level.
This is impossible and has not been possible before.

I don't gamble and I have over 4535 cards. I only have the cards from the girls I like, and 99% of the cards I bought at a discount between 10% and 20%, plus my level discount. I did this right from the beginning, years ago.
Everyone can do this. They need to be very patient.

You must understand:

• Cards cannot be purchased whenever you want and not all at once, unless there is an event with discounts on the desired cards.
• You cannot have every card you want. SEC, EX and NFT are very expensive.
• You must keep your horses to not buy cards at full price.

Premium is very good and I will never give up on Ultimate. If you don't like it, then buy at full price the new cards.

The effects on the cards are really nice and personalize the cards. If you don't want them, don't buy them.

All the best!

I totally agreed the real benefit in buying cards is to get to higher membership levels so that your discount grows as your collection grows. Plus, you also receive free credits as a reward for hitting certain membership levels, which can be used obviously to buy more cards. I don't have anywhere near to 4000 cards, and I still receive a 45% discount on every card I buy. And that is standard that is even without adding the extra 20% I get with premium. In my opinion, premium is worth it strictly for that extra 20% discount you get on all the new cards.

One Subscription Unlocks EVERY single card available on the Platform.

can you give more info on this?

Premium Plus unlocks all cards on the mobile website.
Every single card is free to view fully, even the stripteases and sex scenes.

I am sure that the SECs are not on the mobile website so these will not be seen.

The mobile website is entirely subscription based.
Only the free clips can be seen without a subscription.

Either buy the subscription on the mobile website, or subscribe to Premium Plus.

EDIT:
Make sure you Try Out the Free Mobile Previews.
The Clips on the Mobile Platform, are quite Different from the Desktop clips.
They are not the same clips you see on the Desktop, They are Streaming only and a bit different.

What's Different?
There are less Models, and Less cards available on the Mobile Platform.
( about 1000 cards last time I checked, with 3 New cards being added each Week. )
( it's Playing catch up, so Not all of the same cards and Models can be found )
The Clips are Different versions of the Desktop clips.
There is no Transparent passthrough.
They are on a Solid Background
The Clips are pre-Recorded Body Tracking clips.
( on the desktop the Models can roam from Side to Side, while the background is stationary)
On Mobile, the Pre-Recorded Tracking, tries to keep the Model Centered on the screen and the Background Pans from left to right, instead of the Model moving.
The Clips are Streamed, not downloaded.
Sometimes you have to ***** your Device to see the best view.
Explicit Touch Controls on the Right

I got this Question from a Member:

Q: Can I use the Mobile Subscription from my Desktop?
What App do I use / Install?

A: Yes, you can Use any device with a Modern Web Browser. **
There is No APP to Install

Just open your web Browser and Visit:
https://mobile.istripper.com

Sign in with your User ID and your Password.

Here is a tip for Chrome and Edge Browsers
Press f12 to open the developer tools

There in the top left, you can emulate a Mobile Device.
So now the Mouse will emulate using finger touch.

when you are done, use f12 to switch back to Desktop mode.

** Note: Some VR Headsets, do not have 100% WebAuth compliant Browsers.
you Might Not be able to Login and Authorize your Account from your VR Headset.
You could try side loading a Different Browser to see if it provides the missing WebAuth needed.
