### 5/5 — Best app there is

*2026-08-05, version 3.5.0*

Great design, great features and fast performance. Developer is great as well.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-07-27*

Used to be decent. Subscribed a few months ago and since then it is getting more and more buggy especially EPG syncing and frequent UI freezes with Apple TV. I will not pay for a subscription to get buggy upgrades!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced.
Stability remains a top priority, and we’re continuously releasing fixes and improvements. If you’d like, please join our Discord server and open a support ticket so we can investigate your specific Apple TV and EPG issues in more detail.

### 1/5 — Forcing people to buy

*2026-07-07, version 3.4.10*

This app almost forces you to buy premium otherwise you keep having to wait 20 seconds to do any action…

### 4/5 — Récemment ajouté

*2026-06-30*

Belle application très fonctionnelle. Une petite amélioration serait appréciée : pouvoir retirer les récemment ajoutés du jour, afin que, lors de la prochaine mise à jour, seuls les nouveaux éléments apparaissent (films et séries)

### 3/5 — Nice App but Too dark

*2026-06-24, version v3.4.8*

The app is very fluid… Works great for Apple TV But I can’t make out dark fonts for channels on the tv guide. Would be better is the font was lighter or the app was lighter.

### 5/5 — Most polished IPTV out there

*2026-06-19*

I went through a flurry of IPTV players and all of them are so jank!! I don’t know why, you’d think there’d be a few decent ones but they all look clunky or just does not have that clean UI/UX. 

SWIPTV luckily exist and it’s the best one out there. The UI is clean and makes the most sense. It’s a very well polished app, well done!

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2026-06-16*

Used to be decent. Subscribed a few months ago and since then it is getting more and more buggy especially EPG syncing and frequent UI freezes with Apple TV. I will not pay for a subscription to get buggy upgrades!

### 1/5 — App Not Working

*2026-06-15, version v3.4.7*

Reached out to support about the season selection not working never got any help. Would rather use smartplayer better response time from support.

### 5/5 — Best I’ve tried

*2026-06-06, version v3.4.7*

Like i said

### 5/5 — The BEST IPTV Player!

*2026-06-06*

I have tried every IPTV player.. some of them are not bad…however, none compare to SWIPTV.  

1st- developer response and updates- this developer is hands down the most responsive and attentive to updates.  Most of the time I see an update that fixes a small issue I haven’t even seen yet. 

2nd- GUI (interface)- it’s a thing of beauty. Most of us have come accustomed to a basic sort of layout and flow for our guides and such. SWIPTV nails it. It is fully customizable, but the basic settings are perfect. Even my kids have no problem picking up the remote and finding something to watch.

3rd- cross-hardware sync- I love the fact that I can start watching something on my living room Apple TV, then move to my bedroom Apple TV and pick up where I left off seamlessly.

4th- I haven’t touched my settings (I.E- Servers, logins, ports.. ETC.. ) in months thanks to SWIPTV. You all know what a pain this is to do!!! 

Download it.. go pro (seriously it’s pennies.. it’s supports the developer and keeps this train rolling) I will never use another IPTV player. Thank you SWIPTV!

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your kind words

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.6.0 — 2026-08-27

**What's New in Swiptv v3.6.0:**

This update brings the built-in VPN and fixes many bugs reported by the community:

- New: a WireGuard VPN right inside Swiptv, on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. You bring your own subscription or your own server — Swiptv does not sell any VPN service. Import a file, paste a configuration, or type the values in. And to avoid typing it all with the remote, set up the Apple TV from your iPhone by scanning a code.
- Trakt: the integration has been reworked and optimised, fixing several bugs. You will need to sign in again once.
- Downloads no longer fill up your iCloud storage.
- Playback: the next episode starts instead of staying paused, and buffering gets ahead on disk again — a network drop of several tens of seconds goes unnoticed.
- "Recently watched" fills up again while you zap.
- Xtream accounts: servers whose address contains a path are accepted again.
- Apple TV: the main cast now appears on the movies and series home, and the channels home has been reorganised.
- Apple TV: category navigation, return to menu, Control Center and series pages fixed.
- Search in the icon picker, with translated names.
- Faster page loading, better TMDB matching for episodes, and several general optimisations.
- Translation fixes.

### 3.5.0 — 2026-07-19

**What's New in Swiptv v3.5.0:**

This update brings new features and fixes several bugs reported by the community:

- New: send playback from your iPhone or iPad to your Apple TV on the same network (channels, movies, series, catch-up). Enable it in the player settings.
- Redesigned Series page: every episode is listed with a season selector, and the page opens straight to the episode you're currently watching.
- Now Playing info is back on the Lock Screen and in Control Center, and what's playing on your Apple TV shows up again on your iPhone.
- Series page: fast, reliable episode info — no more empty or mismatched cards while scrolling.
- Channel logos now show up correctly without having to scroll the list.
- TV Guide: much lower memory usage and no more crashes on very large program guides.
- Subtitles: "Never" mode no longer shows them at all; a new "Automatic" mode keeps the previous behavior (selected by default).
- Smarter "Continue Watching": movies resumed very early are remembered, long series no longer disappear too soon, and a finished series leaves the row (it comes back when new episodes are released).
- Fixed thumbnails flickering when scrolling lists quickly.
- Apple TV: fixed fast-forward/rewind that could stop responding to the remote, the double-press to return to the previous channel, and category navigation.
- External playback (Infuse / VLC): the real file title is passed along, with playback resume.
- Fixed crashes when opening a movie/series page and in the TV Guide on iPad.
- Various performance and stability improvements.
