The built in PiP does not work for many streams. Also add Chromecast support as well pls. ### 2/5 — Loading *2026-05-30, version 1.29.3* Please fix, the app doesn’t load very fast and lots of time buffering compared to other apps. Please fix it and improve. Thanks ### 4/5 — AirPlay *2026-04-29, version 1.29.3* Serait parfait si il y avait le AirPlay d’intégrer — j’ai payer 24$ pour la version pro en pensant pouvoir caster sur ma télé — mais non… ### 2/5 — Compatibilité Apple tv 26 *2026-04-19, version 1.29.3* J’utilise cette application depuis plusieurs années et elle fonctionnait très jusqu’à l’arrivée des mises à jour AppleTV 26. Y a-t-il une mise à jour de prėvue très bientôt. Merci ### 3/5 — The best IPTV app out there, and most cost effective! *2026-04-11, version 1.29.3* Stop looking, this is the app you want on iOS, Apple TV, or Mac. The only issue is that the developer seems to have not been on their Discord channel in awhile, so lowering the rating to see if we can get their attention to come back and take bug reports and feature requests. ### 2/5 — Great App…if it would work *2026-04-08, version 1.29.3* This service is amazing but every few weeks my connection gets cut off and trying to get it reconnected is a nightmare…very slow response and long drawn out process of back and forth before hours later it works again. It’s just very unreliable sadly. ### 4/5 — Great app Could be better *2026-04-02, version 1.29.3* I really appreciate the developer of this app for allowing use to be able to watch our content which we paid for. My only gripe would be no PIP functionality I see they added background audio but I’m sure like myself there are countless others that would like browse the web and watch a program to there liking. Noticed there’s a bug when minimizing picture freezes in pip but the audio continues to run in the background. ### 5/5 — Solid app for iptv *2026-03-06, version 1.29.3* I have used this app for nearly 2 years now and it is a great app not really any issues. Most of the issues I have read in these reviews are Iptv providers issues, try the free version first to see how and if it works with your provider. ### 4/5 — All good except crash issues *2026-02-28, version 1.29.3* Just starting to use this app. It seems a very well thought app. Just one thing I noticed that app crashes on apple tv if there are multiple screens. ### 2/5 — Not sure if this the correct APP for I P TV *2026-02-22, version 1.29.3* I couldn’t get it working Provider is asking for Mac Id , where to find it ? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pause and more pause *2026-07-26, version 1.29.3* You can’t even watch a show in its entirety as it pauses constantly. Waste of time and money. Until the issue is resolved, do not purchase! ### 1/5 — LOVE it… when it works *2026-07-20, version 1.29.3* The app will not connect now for over two days but can’t get anyone to respond to questions/concerns- not sure anyone is monitoring this app. ### 1/5 — Frauds *2026-07-09, version 1.29.3* They are frauds. They will stop services in between and do not pick calls. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — No updates *2026-06-27, version 1.29.3* The developers don’t give a damn about the app and no updates have been done. The app has a BIG down side as you cannot delete or hide the channels within a category. That truly sucks as the only option you have is to save it in favorites where everything gets crammed up. Going with tivimate is a better option. The layout is also very dark and ugly in Istb. ### 1/5 — Keep running into issues with this app *2026-06-26, version 1.29.3* I keep running into issues where the app does not recognize my provider, and I need to ask them to reset my device every few weeks. Got very annoying to the point that I have decided to move away from this app. It's unfortunate that I realized this after paying for this app. ### 1/5 — All of a sudden audio doesn’t work *2026-04-03, version 1.29.3* All of a sudden audio doesn’t work, been using this for couple of months ### 1/5 — Remove AI Features *2026-02-25, version 1.29.3* App now includes AI features with the ability to purchase “coins” for their use. For what it does, this app works great; but being that this is a paid app, with in app tipping, and in app currency for AI, it feels like too much. ### 1/5 — NotWorking *2026-02-20, version 1.29.3* Controls do not work ### 1/5 — Good App but uses much battery *2026-02-19, version 1.29.3* Good App works without Problems but since the newest Update im facing much more battery usage drain and hot iPhone 15 pro?!?! Please check and Update your app ### 1/5 — iSTB breaks HDMI Volume relay *2026-02-16, version 1.29.3* I have an LG TV, Bose Soundbar and Apple TV connecting through HDMI. AppleTV —> LG TV —> Bose Soundbar. I can use my Apple TV remote to control all my apps like Netflix, Amazon Prime, YouTube etc but cannot increase/decrease Volume for iSTB app. I tried everything possible but finally came to the conclusion that the problem is with the iSTB app. It ignores tvOS scaling and forces fixed digital audio. Please fix the app. Thanks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-14, version 1.29.3* It is a very good app genuinely. ### 5/5 — 1 *2026-08-04, version 1.29.3* Amazing App!😊👌👍👏 ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-16, version 1.29.3* This app will probably replace my current favorite. Just downloaded last night and I’m very impressed. If it holds up… it will become my new favorite. Fast channel changes, easy to setup, and the very best for multiple Apple devices. Download the app and all the information is loaded automatically in the next Apple device. It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for. ### 5/5 — ISTB 100%'TOP *2026-06-27* L avantage avec cette application et je dis bravo aux concepteurs de donnet le choix De choisir Son abonnement que l ont désir prendre Les 3 choix s'offre à nous 1 XTREAM API 2 M3U et pour finir 3 MAC ADRESSE Simple d'utilisation fluide Rarement vu une application IPTV jusqu'à ce jour qui propose un panel aussi complet Avec autant de paramètres en lecture vidéo Avec les 3 lecteurs qui aide aux utilisateurs De se familiariser avec sont visuel et son audition Je conclus !! tellement de choses à cité L'essentiel est Dit Encore aux bravo aux concepteurs 👍👍 ### 5/5 — Favourite App *2026-05-21, version 1.29.3* My absolute favourite IPTV app ### 5/5 — Way better for my walks. *2026-05-19, version 1.29.3* ibo player pro must have screen on like many others. This one is perfect screen off no hot mobile phone. Plus one purchase and works on all my apple products. How to get this for quest 3? ### 5/5 — Uploaded list *2026-05-12, version 1.29.3* Thanks for the continuous updates and upgrades from the developer. When the uploaded playlist is more than 6 mb there is an error. Please fix this.
