With all the great features you wrote about the app, you don't give a chance to open the app without making a payment on my android phone. How can I pay for what I've not tested. A trial will convince me to buy a premium paid. Work on it please.

I need help. I have installed android device, paid pro version, and have also installed as third party app for fire cube. It blacks out continuously and have to get out of app force stop clear cache to get back in. I really like to see this app work as I like the rewind feature.

I bought the premium. But it turned out to be very louzy application. can't watch more than few minutes before getting Error Code 403. Need to switch channel then return to same channel to continue watching. Totally annoying. Before anyone blames it on the connection or server from IPTV provider. Other applications on a tv in second room are all working fine. So sure it is a developper problem. But the truth to be told, the platform and options are magnificent and user manual are top notch.

Great player with one major flaw... when watching Series, it doesn't automatically play next episode. Need to go back to Series and choose to play next episode. I sure would have given it 5 stars if it had this basic function.

I previously had a problem with the epg updating but thanks to the developer the problem is solved. As I get more familiar with this app I will update my rating. One thing I like is the ability to reorder groups and channels easier than Tivimate.

The best app out there to combine OTA and playlists. Very responsive developer. I will change to 5 stars once I am able to use the full functionality of the app (i.e., timeshift and DVR).

A solid Tivimate competitor! The DVR and timeshift features are great! Requests: - Series recordings keep last X episodes (autodelete) - Configure recording options for each individual recording or series recording (start X min before/after) - Channel numbering starting from #1 for each group/category - More tivimate features

It's good and fast but needs a lot more customization options. Such as better program guide instead of the full screen transparency (with a small window preview). And the ability to make custom groups instead of only favorites

Love it I used this to replace CosmiTV, love the themes I can use and other options it provides , I wish it had a movie category that has IMDb to movie poster our providers movie list other then that works great & time shift feature including DVR works great, please make the app compatible with Android tablets like a Galaxy tab! And yes live tv & time shift on mobile because CosmiTV worked just fine and is similar to your application.

I have downloaded most of the iptv players that have came out in the last 4 years. So far this one is the best. The owner is very helpful as well and not rude Luke some others.

This is definately a work in progress for me. The layout is great, however catchup is really difficult to navigate and it doesn't actually provide the full amount of catchup as per what you get on other apps Edit: Just to answer your reply, Catchup only goes as far back as 24 hours, however some of the services have upto 7 days. A seperate catchup area like movies or series would really make the user experience much better

Great app overall. Only issue so far is the initial startup channel doesn't seem to load. However would also like the option to start directly in the TV guide, as well as some more detailed options with the DVR (such as only recording after/between a certain time or only applies to a certain channel... etc)

Nice app...but it is lacking the option to choose and or add an external player. An external player can be customized as per users preference, but internal player can not!...Thank you for your response, but this app does include customization, in what folders you see, Favourites addition etc..etc. For me, Video quality means everything, and there is a distinct difference from a good external player and Exo player.

Good app, works well. There is 1 bug when sorting categories but nothing major. At this moment in time i would not pay for it as you cant customize it as much as tivimate and i cant get logos to work, but i would donate. Im sure the developer will improve on this in later versions, great job!. Please make a phone/tablet version that does not need an controller to navigate.

I give ** simply because it tries to be better than most other apps - TRIES. It attempts to mimick TiViMate without apology, and falls far to short. It's unintuitive, design is obviously stolen, can't create own groups (at least not in the free version), and switching between groups on this app is much slower. If you're going to purchase & use this app, forget it. Just download TiViMate instead!

I tried this app,it is the simpler version of tivimate, yet better res which the features on this app is enough for user with better advantage of not limiting yourself into 5 device registration, "important, means" as long as all the devices are under same Google account, this app works with no problem and you still have 5 more access to share and register non android units. However, with tivimate, you can only have 5 devices registered regardless , I like it, and I believe in it to grow

Everything is good, it just needs to add the option to play clips with an external player such as MX player, or add the option to download subtitles from the open subtitle website from within the main player. Also, the option to move between live channels without EPG information must be added for faster navigation.

Would give it 5 stars. But there seems to be a bug when using the search feature. If you click on the search bar right away and search, nothing shows up. You need to hit back then go back to search, select the microphone on the left, and then go to the search bar, then you can use the search feature. Also, it would be nice if it updated playlist upon opening the app.

UPDATE: 6/15/23: Setting Audio Decoder to software fixed BT. Also, use the IP address for "Host" when setting up a DVR network share. THANKS LINUS. 6/10/23: After a few days I purchased the app because it is pretty good and has a lot of promise. One problem: after pairing with a bluetooth headset, some channels would not play and gave an error message related to an audio codec problem. Contacted developer who responded and is working on it.

Best IPTV player on the market. ExoPlayer has local time shift, but the visuals of the stream decreases when it's activated (needs to use VLC inside of app and makes buffering awful with bad visuals). This is the only IPTV player to implement time shift flawlessly. That's the most important feature to me. IDGAF about customization and it's a stupid reason to down vote this app. It does the hardest thing better than everybody else.
