### 3/5 — Pre-selection

*2024-01-26*

El APP es muy fluida pero después de acceder un canal no puedes hacer ninguna selección para cambiar a otro canal en iOS iPhone 14. Si quieres ver otro canal debes salir de el app y volver acceder la APP para seleccionar otro canal. Espero que una actualización pueda arreglar este issue.

### 1/5 — 不支持中文

*2023-11-27*

扣除到一分，因为不支持中文。不识别源。

### 2/5 — UI not friendly

*2023-11-13*

The video freezes after a few minutes of play.  Also the UI is not friendly. You can’t see past channels or there are no forward or rewind buttons when watching movie or show. The preview video is small and changes as you move over channels. The epg is a different tab altogether. It’s weird.

### 1/5 — Has many issues

*2023-10-06*

Issue 1: Subtitles do not work (iPad, Apple TV) even when switching to alternate player. When I open the same channel on VLC app (on iPad), I can enable subtitle so I know the provider has subtitles for the channel. Issue 2: The playlist/ app doesn’t sync with other Apple devices. I setup the playlist first on iPad and it didn’t show up on Apple TV even after waiting for 15 minutes, so I had to enter playlist in Apple TV separately. I had ensured iCloud is enabled on both devices and did Adhikari backup of iPad as well to check if that works. Issue 3: The playlist on Apple TV gets automatically deleted. The playlist I added manually was deleted the next day and the playlist from iPad is still not synced either. Issue 4: Some channels on Apple TV are glitching all the time (regardless of choose native or alternative player in settings). The same channels have issue in other apps as well but it works when I choose a different player. However, that’s not the case on snappy app.

### 5/5 — Had issues but it’s not the app

*2023-05-27*

The issues were with my iptv provider servers. The app runs fluid and fast. Needs a couple of updates I have requested. Once done this will be a stellar app b

### 1/5 — Orientation doesn’t work

*2022-10-30, version 6.7.7*

Can’t scroll down to save buttons cause screen orientation won’t change.

**Developer response:** Which save buttons and which device?  I can fix the buttons.

### 5/5 — Works better than most IPTV apps

*2022-09-23, version 6.7.7*

It’s hard to find a working iOS IPTV app. This one works pretty good. Even the EPG works! Hats off to the developer!

### 4/5 — Great IPTV app

*2022-02-14, version 6.6.0*

The app seems very stable and fast! Most IPTV apps are slow when started, and download and load the m3u list for some reason, even if the list has just been updated. There is one thing missing I would like to see included if possible, a crop or fill screen option while retaining the aspect ratio. Other than that, it is a great app!

### 5/5 — Worth to buy

*2022-02-13, version 6.6.0*

Working good

### 5/5 — A great app!

*2022-01-18, version 6.2.0*

Definitely one the best IPTV app for iPhone/IPad/AppleTV. Very powerful, fast and stable. The developer is extremely reactive and she keeps improving the app release after release. Well done!
