### 3/5 — Please add Playback Speed Controls

*2026-01-01*

Overall, thanks for the demo app. It is hard to use, but better than nothing. The only feature I need before I can buy is playback speed. That’s unfortunately a deal breaker for me. Once it’s added, this app is a 100% must buy!

### 2/5 — Good quality steam

*2025-09-26*

Video quality is exceptional but the free version harass you every few seconds to upgrade to paid version

### 2/5 — Só falta suporte ao WebVideoCast

*2025-04-18*

Se colocar o suporte ao WebVideoCast é 5 estrelas

### 3/5 — Please

*2024-12-03*

A great application, but we hope you support picture-in-picture.

### 3/5 — 希望可以支持中文

*2024-10-06*

希望软件可以支持中文，因为只有英文版，所以使用起来不方便就一直没有买会员版的

### 4/5 — QUASE

*2024-04-30*

App intuitivo e estável, entretanto o preço da versão paga não é acessível, podiam fazer uma promoção para que mais pessoas possam conhecer o aplicativo.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-03-27*

The app is not working after the ios updates.

### 3/5 — Needed more free time on lite to review

*2023-02-13*

I thought I may have found the best iptv player for ios yet, and still may have, but this "lite" version pops up a banner every minute or so, then wont play for another 15 seconds. So, before I even got a chance to sell myself on the idea of coughing up $15, the nag-ware turned me off.  Suggestion: for me to change to 5 Star rating, please lengthen the trial period to at least 24 hours.

### 4/5 — Läuft stabil,sehr gut!

*2023-01-10*

Läuft sehr stabil!Wünschenswert wären mehrere Sprachen wie deutsch und Airplay!Ich habe sehr viele Apps ausprobiert,aber dies ist die beste für IPTV für mich.Da man viele Einstellmöglichkeiten hat Top!

### 1/5 — Save your money and download iptv smarters for free

*2022-12-14*

Paid for this app and buffers all the time. I also use iptv smarters free version and works a lot better.

### 1/5 — Charged to my credit card

*2022-12-05, version 1.24.9*

Why I was charged $12.78 on 2-Dec for ISTB when I already bought on 23-Nov ?

### 1/5 — 不好用

*2022-11-27*

垃圾软件，浪费时间。m3u用不了

### 1/5 — Piada

*2022-10-12*

Grátis uma ova. Acho que quem deu essa nota de 5 estrelas foi o próprio desenvolvedor. O programa até que parece legal e funcional, mas, seria muito mais honesto o desenvolvedor já cobrar um valor do que ficar travando o app toda a hora para pedir a compra do app pro.

### 1/5 — horrible service

*2022-09-03*

The app developer know nothing about troubleshooting and how to handle the app bugs and fixes. I did all torubleshooting I could and the developer knew nothing and could not give any steps at all. Such a useless app and app support

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Please be aware. 0 is not even a option

*2026-02-11*

I’d have given time if Paid version of iSTB would have been working correctly as they appeared and promised or advertised. 

But NONE of them work. Can’t watch Any LIVE TV NEWS CHANNELS ON DEMAND VIDEO ANY MOVIES OR ANYTHING on App even though I paid and not streaming same time on 2 devices… 

Now I can’t or even support tech help/refund, I feel like this is completely fraudulent App… 

Please be aware.

### 1/5 — Ostbahnhof Lite

*2025-10-26*

Warum läuft diese Lite Version nur solange bis man aufgefordert wird für eine pro Version zu zahlen und zudem für einen Preis der weitab von bezahlbar ist17euro schon sehr weit hergeholt verstehe auch Apple nicht sowas zu zulassen grenzt an betrug die App soll nur auf dem Tablett laufen und sonst nichts ansonsten für meine Zwecke unbrauchbar,denke 1bis 2 Euro wären hier völlig ausreichend für so eine App alles andere ist reine abzocke

### 1/5 — Für was überhaupt!

*2025-08-01*

Die Lite Version springt nach wenigen Minuten in ein Pop-Up wo man auf die Plus Version verwiesen wird um diese zu kaufen. Die Pro App kostet 17,99 EUR. Die Lite Version ist absolut unnötig und eigentlich unbrauchbar

### 1/5 — No channels

*2025-07-19*

useless

### 1/5 — PiP

*2025-04-23, version 1.28.6*

### 1/5 — Worst

*2024-11-26, version 1.27.2*

Worst

### 1/5 — dommage

*2023-06-26*

je voulais passer en version full mais je vois qu’il faut installer un autre lecteur ! pas très malin une fois que cette version est paramètré..

### 1/5 — Can only add 1 profile and can’t even open the stream in other apps

*2023-05-29*

I can only add 1 profile on this app instead of more than 1 and I can’t even open the stream in other apps.

### 1/5 — Worst

*2023-04-28, version 1.24.11*

Worst

### 1/5 — App dnt work

*2023-04-09*

Seems to have stopped working completely , I only used it to test iptv servers to see if they was active and then I’d use on the premium app on my Apple Mac but the lite version dnt load anything anymore

### 5/5 — Kk

*2025-03-18*

Its a great app for apple tv users. The only irritant is you cant find its mac address.

### 5/5 — The best IPTV Player by FAR

*2024-11-28*

I tried so many Apps but this App is absolutely the best if I can give it 100 stars I would

### 5/5 — Very good

*2024-07-03, version 1.26.5*

Nice player!

### 5/5 — Great for testing

*2024-01-26*

Even though it only lets you play the links for a few minutes before cutting you off; it’s an awesome little app for quickly testing if the stalker links and addresses are working.

### 5/5 — Amazing player

*2022-12-12*

I tried many other players. Many of them were designed with two left hands. iSTB is simple to use, it has many practical and useful functions. Developer helps with the player related issues.  Highly recommend. A+++

### 5/5 — Excellent Work

*2022-12-07*

Plz Add To Find A Local m3u List Or From iCloud in Pro Version Thanks.

### 5/5 — sunucu isteyen

*2022-02-18, version 1.23.0*

Bütün yayınları kesintisiz izlemek isteyenler ulaşsın. Telegram: mstfgcr7

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2020-10-08*

Works great. I like how y’all actively work on improvements & release regular updates. But let’s make a deal - You make it Apple TV compatible (native not AirPlay), & I’ll pay for paid version. Keep up the good work!

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2020-07-16*

Thank you for improving app and give us chance to ckeck the app

### 5/5 — Uyarı yerine

*2020-07-12, version 1.16.1*

Uygulama çok başarılı.eksileri tek hesap ekleme uyarı verip durdurması. Öneri yapılması gerekenler birden fazla hesap eklenmeli illa satın aldıktan sonra olmamalı bu özellik ve satın almak yerine free kullanmak isteyenler için 3 veya 4 kanal değişiminde reklam koyulabilir buda size artı sağlar kullanıcıda free kullanmış olur reklam istemeyenlerde satın alır.
Dikkate alınması dileğiyle
