### 5/5 — Very basic and it works perfect!

*2025-11-05, version 8.7*

This is a very simple IPTV app, but in comparison to majority of the ones I used, it works flawlessly.
There’s barely any features, but it does the basic function perfectly where every other app I used lags, buffers and just ruins your experience, IPTV Live works perfect.
