Seems like there is a pricing error for Paramount+ on the Apple ecosystem.
Need an iOS device to take advantage.
Instructions:
Get it while you can and enjoy 😄
Thanks OP, upvoted
Follow the instructions to Dot.
Only thing to add is after all those steps are done.
in Paramount app you may get screen with "sign out" and to select "monthly" and "yearly" screen again.
Don't stress select monthly and it will prompt for Apple password once more and finally link it to the $5.99 yearly subscription.
What are the chances we will get our subs nuked tomorrow?
I can’t see how they will let this stand at this price point, fingers crossed though
Although may e a good deal.. can't see anything worth watching
Star Trek is leaving Netflix next month to be a Paramount exclusive, if that's your thing!
You mean the latest crap they are calling star trek?
That’s only in America. And not all of the series are either.
Alternative Instructions:
- Download the Paramount App Either Apple Phone IOS 12 or higher or Apple TV 4k
- Sign up to a Monthly subscription (you are not charged here as there’s a free 7 day trial)
- Go into Your Itunes Program on Pc (if not installed ) [Itunes] (https://ninite.com/itunes/)
- Account, View My Account, Scroll Down to Settings Itunes Program on Pc Manage, Find Paramount Plus Click Edit and select “anual” at $5.99
- You’re good until 2022
Thanks DarkSide :)
If I don't have an iphone to download the paramount app on? Will this work if I sign up to Paramount Plus on a PC?
Great find OP! I subscribed last month on Apple TV and cancelled it after 7 days but it is still working even though sub shows cancelled. Probably it is a glitch on ios. Cheers.
Thanks OP! Great find! Hope that the same thing happens for disney
Woo! They've got "Batman Forever"!!!
They've got Batman Forever
They might remove it one day.
User interface almost worse than binge. Why can't they just copy Netflix/prime…
Prime is the worst of all of them.
At least Prime tells you more about the show/movie. Paramount+ only have a photo when you scroll through the options.
I'd say Netflix > prime > Disney+ > paramount > binge
Netflix > Disney > Binge > Paramount > >>>>>>>>>>>> prime is dead last
Prime mixed available show, physical disc and unavailable show. it is super frustrating to use.
Prime split different seasons for the same show,, why?? and not even consistently. Some show will have all the seasons under it.
No subtitle for most of them.
@Wiede: I like that with prime you can long press to add to your list.
Binge, I've still not figured out how the navigation works sometimes.
Cheers, OP. Installed and cancelled subscription - expiring Sept. 10, 2022. :)
seems you have also made a mistake like me. if you read the confirmation email, it would renew at $5.99 next year. now, no option to renew at that price.
On positive side - we have one year at $5.99.
Nah, I'll forget it by next year. They might charge the full price by then.
ok. but in case you have never dealt with Apple for refund - they are quite good with it and will refund easily if there is dissatisfaction for aparent reason like price change etc. So I would have left the subscription going with that email as a proof, but bit late now because I didn't read the email.
Still working, great find OP!
Thanks OP. Quick question, does anyone know how to create multiple profile ?
I'm having the same problem - can't find the option despite online tutorials.
Is it related to the subscription type?
You can't currently it seems in Australia unfortunately. From a review:
Profiles are also absent from the app, so everyone in your household will simply have to share a single account.
If only all streaming services is priced like this,
Piracy as we know it will probably be dead.
Honestly, the price is not the problem. Happy with the Netflix price, etc.
The problem is with so many streaming platforms with their exclusive content.
When I wanted to watch "For all mankind" I needed to add Apple+ to my Netflix subscription. When the "Chernobyl" came in you needed to add HBO subscription.
If you want Disney production stuff you need to subscribe to Disney+.
The sums are all affordable individually, but if you start stacking up the subs, it will pile up. :-(
If $5.99 for 12 months is too rich for you then you should give this one a miss
Like all things it's about individual choice and choosing what suits you best - and what you can afford
I am more than happy with this. Just saying what I consider as a major issue in general with the streaming services.
This is a price error. Your statement is invalid.
@Bodogbodog: You. This is not meant to be $6. At $80ish, plus Netflix plus Disney plus whatever else.. Yes it adds up
Yes, it’s why I mentioned if all, say Disney + Netflix + Amazon for example, that’s only $18 a year. I see no point pirating anymore. Wishful thinking:)
I’ve had the same thought for 30 years!..
Pirates will exist if people don’t unite.
Happy to pay if the establishment join forces.
Greed however rules.
@ozy: EPL, Champions League, La Liga / Serie A all now under different streaming platform. To think years ago Foxtel had everything….
Disney + Netflix + Amazon for example, that’s only $18 a year.
a year?
Great deal. Worth it to rewatch Dexter before the new season!
The final season is worth forgetting.
Every season after 4 is worth forgetting.
Given they’ve got Deb and Trinity back for the reboot/new season, hopefully they retcon the whole thing from there.
dont why but just subscribed. thanks OP
Not much content going on in there. Will use for the soccer.
Thanks Op, signed up with the sons iPad. Will get use for A-League in our house.
Awesome thanks opp worked for me iphone 5s
Legend!!! Got it!!
Anyone successfully watching it through Apple TV app on LG tv?
Looks like the Paramount+ app isn't available in Australia.
You can activate a Paramount+ trial via Apple TV, however the $5.99 trick described in this bargain doesn't work :(
Anyone can help as using my IPad to do this, just need to figure last part
"Go into your Subcriptions in Apple Settings and select “anual” at $5.99
- You’re good until 2022"
Apple setting are we talking about settings in the IPad? if so I can't find subscriptions anywhere in Ipad settings and don't see anything in Paramount Plus app to change to yearly subscription, any help much appreciated
System settings aka "System"
At top should be your name, that's where you click.
Settings app > Tap name > Subscriptions. Can also be done via app store person icon.
Wow don't have any of that I'll try the app store
Anyway doing IOS update as I'm running 12.4.9, maybe why
Within the Paramount App.
* Select "More"
* Select "Account"
* Select "Manage Subscription"
* Select "Paramount+"
* Select the "Anual $5.99" Subscription
Above did it thanks, I had to hit the "more" button twice to get to "Account",. again big thanks and all done, thanks OP too 👍😁
Sorry got to ask if you go back into edit Subscription,..
Does your subscription show monthly or annually,.
mine is still showing monthly after doing all above and I don't see the $5.99 annually anymore lolz
Deal was marked EXPIRED
@LurvinOZB: Wow missed by few minutes I guess, done through PayPal so will cancel subscription through Apple subscriptions and PayPal auto renew payments to be safe
I just searched for "subscriptions" and it should come up with a settings icon.
But its actually under settings>your name/apple id> then the 4th item in the list.
You should have received a subscription confirmation email from Apple. From your iDevice, click the link on that email where it says “review your subscription” and the list should pop up with anual 5.99 being the first option.
In paramount app click more than account then click on manage subscriptions
What if this company doesn't honor the 5.99/ year deal?
They can say it is a mistake, and just give us 1 month subscribe.
In that case, you will have to contact Apple and ask for a refund.
They will refund you then. If they don’t honor it you won’t have to do much. They can’t just switch something to a month after you’ve purchased a year.
Subscribed, thanks OP 👍
I guess they just made $5.99 more than they were ever going to make out of me.
The truth is that they just gained so many new customers, which they would never get.
I even haven't noticed Paramount Plus until today :-) And would have never subscribed.
Got it as well!
kids also have Netflix. Disney. ABC Kids.
Such a lucky generation.
yeh. growing up, I NEVER had pay TV. That was for weird families who actually watched TV that wasn't programmed to play news from 5pm through to 8pm (Ten News at 5, Nine News at 6, ABC news at 7, 7.30 Report). Doom and gloom nightly.
Now my kids eat susho and watch their fill of Netflix, Disney+, Binge, etc.. bloody little middle class brats the lot of them.
HEY!
6pm after school used to mean Channel 10 and The Simpsons.
and youtube.
you guys are lucky. we dont have tv until I am in year 12.
all we know is AM radio.
Bought it..
Not bad for this price
how are you guys getting a free monthly trial. Mine only says 7 days.
No ones getting a free monthly trial
The instructions say to sign up for a free monthly trial. Before you can access the subscription feature, mine is only showing a 7 day trial. Hence the question
No it doesn’t, it says sign up for a monthly subscription. You don’t get charged and the month doesn’t start until after 7 days as you get a 7 day free trial.
thats not helpful
after choosing monthly (which includes the 7 day trial - hence you won't get charged anything yet)
go to iphone subscription settings and choose the year 'anual' for $5.99
Thanks!
ie choose monthly in the app, then year in the phone paramount subscription settings
Getting a 'This item is no longer available' when I try select the 1 year $5.99 option… (yep, refreshed and it's gone)
Thanks OP. Only have Android phone so bought 2 iphones just in case your method doesn't work
What a bargain. Buy one get two new phones.
Looks like all the fun is over
I can’t find annual for 5.99, showing 89.99 :(
Yep. Thats it friends :(
Not seeing the $5.99 yearly option…. Too late to the party :(
Why did I stop checking OzB every 5 mins today?
Sad for you. But this comment is Legend.
Dam just missed out. Doesn't show $5.99 annual anymore. The only $5.99 is Paramount+ mensual(1month).
Thanks to OP got in early early. They have now removed $5.99 annual from iOS subscription.
Damn, must've just got in, but shows it as pending if I look at my transactions in iTunes. So, they could still knock it back and cancel the membership. I'll have to keep an eye on it so they don't switch me to the monthly plan or something. That would be evil!
I did it 2 and a half hours ago, hopefully they won’t cancel it haha. I don’t think they can cancel though i got a subscription confirmation email too.
yup, all over.
Missed it by literally 10 seconds. Far out.
Sailing the high seas was always my first love.
Just missed out :( gone
I think they might have fixed it, I can't see any $5.99 options, and all the annual ones are $89.99
And now we play the waiting game for the dreaded email…
hopefully continues on the 5.99 Anual unless they remove the u from the middle
I missed out but I doubt they will default on this. So in your subscription section in app store, what does it now have ticked as? annual?
![[iOS] Paramount Plus Subscription for $5.99/Year (iOS App Required)](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/80/650480.jpg?h=28cbdbd4)
I thought they would because a Disney Owned streaming service named Hotstar recently closed as all its content was migrated to HULU and I received a email saying that all those subscribed via iTunes will be receiving a refund on 23/32/3280
