### 4/5 — Good, no buffering, but price has to come down

*2026-06-05*

Features are good. Streams play with no buffering even with not so great servers. But has some bugs (can’t add favorites, sometimes search results don’t show up when you open to one of the results and then press back) and too expensive. Would buy if lifetime was <$30.

### 5/5 — Looks Promising!

*2026-04-27*

Testing the trial and so far so good. The interface is smooth and looks professional. Setup is straight forward with plenty of options within settings. The player runs smoothly and manifest playlists runs with no issues. Looking forward to future updates.

**Developer response:** Cheers!

### 5/5 — The Library Unifier

*2026-02-26*

This app seemingly came out of nowhere to solve the specific problems I was having trying to unify my media library (Plex and IPTV). I struggled for hours with other potential solutions and lamented that there appeared to be solutions on other platforms but not iOS/tvOS. 

And then here comes KDTIVI. Is the app perfect? No. At least, not yet. But it is really great and it quite literally did what it said it would on the tin.  The dev has been super responsive in adding new features and solving bugs and I have no doubt that, given time and resources, this app will only continue to improve.

I’m glad I’m here at the start. I can’t wait to be able to look back and brag about “being there near the beginning.”

**Developer response:** Thank you! Appreciate the kind words!

### 5/5 — Insanely Useful App

*2026-02-20*

This is a project I had always DREAMT would be completed by someone more capable than myself and here it is. 

I am in hour 1 of using the app, and knew I had to leave a review here to encourage others to give this app a try. So helpful and valuable if you use Plex and others. Thank you!

**Developer response:** Thank you! Appreciate it!

### 4/5 — New App Lots of updates

*2026-02-01*

Pumping out updates left and right. This app should be pretty dang good here soon.

### 2/5 — It’s not bad but a little expensive.

*2026-01-16*

Not bad overall, but needs a lot of work to justify the price as many other options exist at lower price point that are fully developed.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-12-28*

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.14 — 2026-09-03

- Bug fixes
- Profile isolation
- Remove from library fixes
- Delete addon fixes
- Settings fixes

### 2.13 — 2026-09-02

Fix to tab bar not showing settings

### 2.11 — 2026-09-01

- Beta SIMKL support
- Fixed: Resuming an episode you had already finished (or that Trakt had marked watched) no longer drops the show out of Continue Watching — it comes back with your resume position instead
- Fixed: Continue Watching now lists titles from every playlist consistently — some shows only appeared after switching to the playlist they came from, and a show with several part-watched episodes could crowd others off the row entirely
- Fixed: Catalog rows no longer keep loading pages on their own — appending a page revealed more posters, which each asked for another page, so a single row could run away fetching hundreds of titles nobody scrolled to
- Improved: Skipping quickly along a row no longer downloads and saves details for every title you pass — a title's details are only fetched once you actually settle on it
- Improved: Moving down through Movies and TV Shows stays fast however far you scroll — each row used to redraw every other row on screen whenever any one of them finished loading, so the more rows you passed the slower the next one got
- Improved: With a Trakt account connected, importing your Trakt progress and watch history no longer freezes the app — the download and decoding now happen in the background instead of on screen
- Improved: Scrolling quickly down through Movies and TV Shows is far smoother — rows no longer fetch several pages ahead the instant they appear on screen, so passing over a row costs one request instead of a dozen, and the row you actually stop on loads first
- Fixed: Movies and TV Shows froze for up to half a second at a time while scrolling — each page of a row was being saved to disk on the main thread as it arrived. Saving now happens in the background
- Fixed: The "Updating EPG" notification no longer lingers over full-screen playback — it now hides as soon as you start watching a live channel or VOD, while the finished result still shows if it fails

### 2.00 — 2026-08-28

- Fixed: Catalog rows no longer keep loading pages on their own — appending a page revealed more posters, which each asked for another page, so a single row could run away fetching hundreds of titles nobody scrolled to
- Improved: Skipping quickly along a row no longer downloads and saves details for every title you pass — a title's details are only fetched once you actually settle on it
- Improved: Moving down through Movies and TV Shows stays fast however far you scroll — each row used to redraw every other row on screen whenever any one of them finished loading, so the more rows you passed the slower the next one got
- Improved: With a Trakt account connected, importing your Trakt progress and watch history no longer freezes the app — the download and decoding now happen in the background instead of on screen
- Improved: Scrolling quickly down through Movies and TV Shows is far smoother — rows no longer fetch several pages ahead the instant they appear on screen, so passing over a row costs one request instead of a dozen, and the row you actually stop on loads first
- Fixed: Movies and TV Shows froze for up to half a second at a time while scrolling — each page of a row was being saved to disk on the main thread as it arrived. Saving now happens in the background
- Fixed: The "Updating EPG" notification no longer lingers over full-screen playback — it now hides as soon as you start watching a live channel or VOD, while the finished result still shows if it fails

### 1.96 — 2026-08-24

- Fixed: Shows you've finished no longer linger in Continue Watching (and the Home hero) when there's no next episode
- New: Spoiler-free episode thumbnails — blur the stills for episodes you haven't started yet. Turn it on in Settings › KDTIVI Settings › Spoilers
- Fixed: "Test Subscription Revoked" now explains you need the App Store build (not TestFlight/beta) to fix it, instead of a misleading "subscribe again"
- Fixed: Live TV guide showing "No program info" after the app had been in the background — programme data now refreshes on return instead of needing a force-close
- Improved: Home is much smoother on Plex — hub rows are fetched once instead of twice, and Continue Watching no longer recalculates on every redraw
- Fixed: Nuvio Continue Watching now matches Nuvio itself — titles you'd just started no longer go missing, and finished shows leave both apps' rows
- New: Library — save shows and films for later from any detail page. It's its own row on Home (Settings › Home) and in Movies/TV Shows, so it never clutters Continue Watching
- New: Your Library syncs across your devices via iCloud and your KDTIVI account, and two-way with Nuvio if it's connected
- Changed: Favourites has been replaced by Library — your existing favourites now appear there automatically
- Improved: Continue Watching is ordered by what you watched most recently, instead of always putting next episodes first
- New: "Auto use first stream" for addons — Play starts the top-ranked stream instead of opening the picker. Toggle it in the stream picker or Settings › Addons
- New: If a stream fails, a "Stream Failed" card offers the next stream in the list
- New: Home now has a Favourite Channels row, on by default — customise it in Settings › Home alongside Recent Channels
