Struggling with finding the best IPTV apps to use your service with? If so then you came to the right place because in this article I am going to share with you some amazing applications that you gonna love. Just like most of you I am also a big fan of internet-based Television because I spent more of my time outside the home which means it is quite impossible for me to watch favorite shows. But after hearing about this service it makes me happy and I simply purchase a service, but later I faced a lot of problems getting the right IPTV player for my device. Now, as I have spent several years using them, I am kinda expert in this field and that is the reason behind writing this article so that I can help my visitors and provide them with good service. However, this will be a long guide because I don't want to miss anything here so just don't forget to keep reading this until the very end or you might not be able to find the right choice. Best IPTV Apps For All Devices There is no such thing as Best because every app has its own benefits and disadvantages too! Let's suppose if someone suggests the best app for Firestick but it doesn't work with Mobile then probably it is not the best at all. This same goes for the best IPTV apps guide as each of the apps mentioned here has its own flaws and good part. In this way, I have listed the applications based on the device support and the playback. It doesn't mean that the one app listed at the top makes it perfect that is why you should read the whole article and then decide which app works fine depending on your device. Enough talk, let's move towards the best IPTV apps now IPTV Smarters Pro The first application, we have in today's list is the IPTV Smarters Pro and the reason why it is at the top is because of this application's device compatibility. Smart Pro is one of my favorite apps that I usually used to stream IPTV services with. It has a simple and easy-to-use interface along with multiple login methods. With this app, you can use either an Xtream Codes API or else Load M3U Playlist URL or File. Despite that, you can also Load Data Storage or use the Play Single Stream option. The IPTV Smarters Pro has all the necessary features you want that include Parental Controls, Electronic Program Guide, Add External EPG File, Offers Catchup, and even provides support for external Players. In case you don't want to use any external player then you don't need to worry a bit about this because its built-in video player has a decent interface and works with a remote too. You can use this service on any device you want because it supports Windows, macOS X, Android Phone & Tablets, Roku, FireTV Sticks, and the list go on. Key Features It has compatibility with a large number of devices. Offers EPG & Catchup feature if your provider has. It Supports External Video Players. Provides a multi-screen feature to watch 4 channels at the same time. A user-friendly interface with remote-based devices too. Supports Xtream Codes API and M3U Playlist. Provides a free app for users with limited features. It offers parental control to hide sensitive channels. Supported Device: Windows macOS X iOS Mobile/Tablet Android, Mobile/Tablet Apple TV TizenOS WebOS Roku FireTV Stick Nvidia Shield Chromecast with Google TV Cons Parental Control is a paid feature. The new update asks for a premium version to access Settings (that is terrible). Lacks features to mark favorite channels. Tivimate Tivimate is probably one of the famous apps to stream live channels from your favorite service provider. When you ask about the best IPTV apps on Reddit or other forums you will be suggested to use Tivimate. It is probably an amazing app to have because I am currently using it on my FireTV Stick and loved how they made the interface of this application. As I said earlier that the apps listed here are based on the supported device and based on this Tivimate is available for a limited number of devices. Until now you can use this application on Android-based TVs, Firestick, Nvidia Shield, etc. But keep in mind that the TiviMate is only available for bigger screens so they don't support mobiles. Keeping it aside, this application is pretty amazing because it has the interface we usually see on our Smart TVs or any Set-top boxes that also supports EPG. This app supports the renaming of channels, adding favorite channels, customizes channel logos, and offers users the to add multiple M3U Playlist files or URLs. Key Features One of the best apps for bigger screen users. Works with various TV brands (Android-based only). Supports multiple M3U Playlist URLs. It has various customization options. Supports Electronic Program Guide (EPG). A friendly and easy-to-use user interface. Add to favorite, change the title or use the customized logo for channels. Record any live event or TV shows (requires premium version). Offers parental control feature within the app. Can be used with external players. Supported Device: Android Boxes FireTV Stick Nvidia Shield Chromecast with Google TV Cons Only 1 M3U is allowed for free users. It lacks compatibility with various devices. GSE Smart IPTV In this list of the best IPTV apps, the next app that I am going to talk about is the GSE Smart IPTV. If you are an old Internet TV user then you have probably known this name before. It is one of the most popular and the most downloaded applications from Google Play Store or other App Stores. Instead of this GSE is available on various other devices like Apple TV, iOS Devices, Android TV, and much more. The reason behind its popularity is because of the user interface that feels like using a Smart TV. This makes it a lot easier for the customers who don't like a new layout and want to stick with the old one. Another thing, why it is listed here is because GSE supports multiple ways to log into your IPTV subscriptions just like a Smarters Pro application mentioned above. This app supports the Electronic Program Guide offered by the provider or else you can use an external sources where it supports XML, ZIP, and even GZ Formats. Provides users with Xtream-Codes API and M3U File and it also streams from HTTP, HSL, M3U8, MMS, RTSP, and RTMP sources including the ability to show Subtitle or add SRT file. Key Features This application has the widest range of device compatibility. It also supports Chromecast. A neat and clean interface offers a Cable-like experience.

Officially available on Google Play Store and Apple Store. It supports external EPG having XML, ZIP, or GZ format. Provides parental control to hide sensitive contents. The app comes with multiple languages to choose from 31 languages. Supported Device: macOS X iOS Mobile/Tablet Android, Mobile/Tablet Apple TV FireTV Stick Nvidia Shield Chromecast with Google TV Cons This application has too many advertisements. It doesn't support multiple account login. Lazy IPTV Lazy IPTV is another best way to stream your IPTV subscription on various platforms. It is one of the good applications that offers a neat user interface with various customization features. You can easily add the most watched channels on the Home Screen and change the layout of how channels are displayed. This is one of the good features for those who don't like the same layout but want to make changes. Furthermore, this application is available on Android Mobile, FireTV Stick, Nvidia Shield, etc. But unfortunately, you won't be able to use it with a Laptop or a Smart TV as it only supports Android-based devices. Anyways, this app supports only the M3U Playlist feature where you can either import files from your storage or simply paste the URL given by your service provider. With this, you can check out the Electronic Program Guide (EPG) offered by the provider or use an external file (XMLTV) in GZ, Open-view, or Zip formats. You can also add favorite channels, supports folders, allows you to create a group of playlists, and even supports the Export feature for M3U Playlist. Lazy IPTV is probably one of the good apps once you get used to it. Key Features It is compatible with all Android-based devices. Provides many options to customize the app. Supports the Electronic Program Guide (EPG). Import external TV Guide to GZ, Open-view, or Zip formats. Use M3U URL or Import the Playlist file from Storage. Works with HTTP and UDP streams to Stream from YouTube and VK. Add favorite channels, change the layout, etc. Easily Exports M3U Playlist if you don't like this app. It is compatible with Android Mobiles and Tablets too. Supported Device: Android, Mobile/Tablet FireTV Stick Nvidia Shield Chromecast with Google TV Cons It only supports a single M3U Playlist. Don't have Parental Control options. Compatible with a limited number of devices Perfect Player The perfect player is yet another best IPTV app that helps the user to watch live TV channels from a service provider. It has almost the same interface as TiviMate where you get a cable-like experience. Perfect Player is supported by many devices like Windows, Linux, Android Mobiles & Tablets, Nvidia Shield, and so on. Instead of this, you can even use it on Windows or Linux-based computer/laptop. Still, it is the best choice for the supported devices because you will be provided with the option to log in to IPTV using an M3U or XSPF Playlist file or URL. The players also support Electronic Program Guide where you can add external EPG which supports XMLTV (ZIP, GZ, XZ) and JTV extension as well. Perfect Player comes with the Scalable OSD where the player automatically increases or decreases the size of the channel depending on the screen you are using. It provides different decoder options to choose from Native, Software, Hardware, and Hardware Accelerated. Instead of this, you can watch locally stored data from an SD card and also sync data using a computer version. Key Features It has the widest range of device compatibility. Offers Scalable OSD that renders screen automatically. It supports M3U and XSPF Playlist URL/File. Play content from SD Card (for mobile devices only). Comes with 6 different themes to choose from. Automatic Synchronization with the PC version. The app can be controlled with Mouse, Keyboard, or Remote. Provides multiple Playlist and EPG support. Easily Hide or Rename channels that you want. Create Group and add favorite channels. Supported Device: Windows Linux Android, Mobile/Tablet FireTV Stick Nvidia Shield Chromecast with Google TV Cons The app contains some annoying advertisements. Doesn't support External Media Player. The Xtream Codes API is not supported. Kodi XMBC later known as Kodi is an open-source application that is available on almost every device. The compatibility includes Mac OS X, Raspberry Pi, Windows, iOS & Mobile Phones, FireTV Stick, and so on. Despite that, you can use this application on every Android-based Smart TV or else Apple TV as well. This is a unique application to the ones that I have already mentioned above. It is because the Kodi is packed with thousands of official and 3rd-party Add-ons offering Movies, TV Shows, Sports, and Games and even it provides some IPTV Players too. With Kodi, you can either use a 3rd-party IPTV App or else official one, but in my case, I prefer to use PVR IPTV Simple Client which is an official Kodi Add-on and is completely free to use. This Add-on uses the M3U Playlist URL or you can use an M3U File to log into your IPTV service until now it only supports a single playlist but in the future, we might see multiple playlist support. Except this Simple Client supports EPG service too, where you can add an external file or URL free of cost which is a paid feature in various IPTV apps. Key Features Kodi is an open-source, free application. This app is available on various devices. It works with FireTV Stick and Nvidia Shield too. The app is officially available on the Play Store. A PVR IPTV Simple Client is the best Add-on for IPTV service. Use other Add-ons with different features too. PVR supports the External EPG service. Offers users to upload customized logos for channels. This Add-on also supports the Catchup. Supported Device: Mac OS X Windows Raspberry Pi Linux Apple TV iOS Mobile/Tablet Android, Mobile/Tablet FireTV Stick Nvidia Shield Chromecast with Google TV Cons It is a little bit difficult to use it on TVs. Simple Client doesn't support logging in using the Xtream Codes API. Using 3rd-party Add-on might crash Kodi. CCTV PLAYER The last best IPTV app that I would like to talk about is the XCIPTV Player which is also a popular and most used application among individuals. This app is only supported by Android devices, you can use it on Android TV, Android Mobile, Android Tab, FireTV Cube, FireStick, and even with the Nvidia Shield TV too. Personally, I like the design of this app because it offers a neat and clean user interface to easily toggle between Web-Series, Movies, or even Live TV channels. This IPTV Player is quite amazing from the ones that are mentioned already because XCIPTV supports the sign method using M3U Playlist, Xtream Codes API, and EZHometech API as well. This player supports Electronic Program Guide with live channels and also Catchup. Despite that, you can watch Video-on-demands along with the IMDb information. Moreover, XCIPTV comes with a built-in ExoPlayer that replaces the stock one and also offers parental control features to easily hide adult videos or channels from kids. Key Features A very good application for every android-base device. XCIPTV is officially available on Google Play Store. It uses Xtream Codes API, EZHometech API & M3U Playlist. Provide Video-on-demands with IMDb information. A built-in ExoPlayer is better than the stock Player. Multiscreen feature to use up to 4 screens at a time. It comes with Parental Controls. Ability to manage multiple users. The app is clean from unwanted advertisements. Supported Device: Android, Mobile/Tablet FireTV Stick Nvidia Shield Chromecast with Google TV Cons Doesn't support Smart TV or other platforms (except Android). Limited customization features for free users. It doesn't offer external player support. Conclusion Without a doubt using an Internet Protocol TV is really amazing than watching TV shows with regular cable networks. It is because the service is a lot cheaper than cable or satellite and also it doesn't bind with the contract or anything. Even though the app can also be used on various platforms, for this, a user must need a player first. Here in this article, I have shared some of the best IPTV Apps that are supported by many devices. Each of these applications comes with different advantages and offers compatibility with different devices as well. If you have read the whole article then you probably find a good application for yourself. But let's suppose if you are still confused, then I would suggest going for the Smarters Pro because it supports almost every device. It is a lot easier to use than most apps and also used to manage 4 different users. In case you only want an application for Smart TV or Android TV then Tivimate is probably one of the best services to choose from. It has an amazing and easy-to-use interface that feels like using a cable service. If you know any other application except the ones I have provided here then let me know in the comment section below. Also, don't forget to share your experience with each app and tell us which one of them you love the most and willing to use it permanently.
