### 5/5 — Excellent

*2026-05-02*

The app is lightweight and works well. Please add category management

### 1/5 — Viele Funktionen fehlen

*2026-02-18*

Inzwischen ist man bei Github bei Version 1.9.1 und dem Namen FredTV. Diese Version hier ist schlecht …

### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht!

*2026-01-31*

Diese App ist z.Z. nicht nutzbar. Findet von allen Sendern weltweit nur eine Handvoll Kanäle. Schade!

### 5/5 — Clean & simple but please add this!

*2026-01-04*

There is no option on iOS phone/ipad to screen cast or apple air play to a tv. This would be an absolute 10/10 app if we go this feature because the rest of the app works perfectly and it’s clean and minimal. Love it

### 5/5 — BEST IPTV App

*2025-12-15*

This is hands down the absolute best IPTV app, especially when you factor how much some of the other apps cost! I wanted to support the developer in any way that I could as I think he is the best IPTV app developer! Thanks for this!

### 4/5 — Great app, but 1-2 suggestions

*2025-11-10*

First and foremost, the app is worth every penny. It is very simple and clear. I use it on my Mac. However, there is one thing I would like to see added. It lacks a volume control and possibly a tag sorting function, for example for language.
But otherwise, it works perfectly.

### 5/5 — Solid IPTV player, hoping for ongoing updates!

*2025-09-01*

Great cross-platform IPTV player, tough to find on iOS. I hope more options such as folder favorites and ability to clear history are added in future releases. I bought this app for multiple platforms and donated via GitHub to support the dev, thank you and hope my ideas might make it into future releases.

### 1/5 — m3uを全然読み込まない

*2025-08-19*

Open Tvのパソコン版を使っており、それに準じた動作を望んでいましたが、m3uを全然再生できません。テストもさせずにいきなり支払い求めて来るのはさすがにどうかと思います。

### 1/5 — Dysfunktional

*2025-07-27*

Diese App kostet Geld und funktioniert nur bei wenigen Sendern (Free TV). Das einzige, was man ansonsten sieht, sind drehende Kreise. Völlig unausgereift und nicht empfehlenswert.
