## What is Athena Player IPTV?

Athena Player includes NO channels, NO movies, NO series and NO other media. Nothing is bundled with the app, and we neither host nor offer any content of our own.

It is a player. You bring the M3U URL or Xtream Codes login from the provider you already pay, and Athena Player plays it on your iPhone, iPad and other devices with a fast, beautiful, distraction-free interface.

BUILT FOR GREAT PLAYBACK
Athena Player is engineered for smooth, high-quality streaming. It uses hardware-accelerated video for crisp, fluid playback (up to 4K where your device and source allow), fast channel switching, and an interface that stays out of your way. A rich EPG, instant search and Continue Watching make it effortless to find and resume what you were watching. A buffering indicator keeps you informed while a stream loads, and subtitle and audio-track selection are built in.

ONE PLAYER, EVERY SCREEN
Your account, favorites and playback progress sync across all your devices, so you can start on iPhone and pick up on iPad or Mac exactly where you left off. Cast to your TV with Chromecast, or hand a stream off to an external player when you prefer.

SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED
Athena Player requires a paid subscription to use. New users get a 7-day free trial; after the trial, continued access to the app and all of its features requires an auto-renewable subscription — Standard, Premium or Premium+, billed monthly or yearly — or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Titles, subscription length and prices are shown in the app before you buy. Auto-renewable subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase.

FEATURES (all require an active trial or paid subscription)
- Your provider's live streams, with a full EPG (electronic program guide) and now/next info
- Your provider's movies and series, with posters, descriptions and resume playback
- Favorites and Continue Watching, synced across your devices
- Multiple profiles, each with its own favorites and history
- Powerful search across channels, movies and series
- Chromecast and optional external player support
- Clean, fast interface designed for phone, tablet and TV
- Available in English, Italian, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create a free account and start your 7-day trial.
2. Add your own M3U or Xtream playlist on playerathena.com (a QR handoff opens the website already signed in).
3. Sign in on Athena Player and start watching. Subscribe to keep access after the trial ends.

Athena Player is a player only. It includes no channels or media. You are responsible for the content you add and must have the legal right to access it. We do not host, provide or sell any media content.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 1.1.5 — 2026-08-07

Playback fixes for films and series episodes.

- Seeking no longer restarts a title from the beginning, and no longer reports an episode as finished when it is not.
- Skipping around a video is now near-instant: the player reads further ahead and keeps what it has already downloaded.
- Switching quickly between episodes is reliable again, including on provider lines that allow only one connection at a time.

### 1.1.4 — 2026-08-05

- Closing the subscription screen no longer signs you out. You stay in your account, on the account page, where the plans and "Restore purchases" remain one tap away.
- Settings > About now shows the version you actually have installed, instead of a fixed number.
- Sign-up now rejects malformed email addresses, so a typo can no longer leave you with an account that cannot receive a password reset.

### 1.1.3 — 2026-08-03

No release notes.
