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. ### 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. ### 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.

Not only for its incredible features, but active subscribers and interested developers. Well done! ### 3/5 — So so *2026-04-14, version v3.4.1* On iPhone… it works very well. On Apple TV… froze all the time. I have updated to new version and now I can’t what anything. I always have a black screen! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-04-06, version v3.3.11* Great ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2026-04-03, version v3.3.11* I’ve found this hands down to be the best player available and keeps getting better with every update ### 2/5 — Great App if you have time to babysit it *2026-03-24, version v3.3.11* Very slow and unresponsive with customer EPG. It gets worse with every update. Be careful if you have a custom EPG ### 5/5 — Better than what I’ve seen *2026-03-23* The playlist and EPG refresh is quick and easy. The favorites list are easily accessible for movies, live channels, and series. It’s amazing having the PIP option and the capability to make the PIP screen smaller or larger by zooming in. It’s super helpful to have the PIP screen if I have to look at a different app or messages. Definitely recommend for iPhone users **Developer response:** Thanks for the message 🙏 ### 5/5 — Excellente application *2026-03-22* Meilleure application de contenu que j’ai pu trouver au moindre problème on peut contacter le support qui est très réactif **Developer response:** Merci pour le commentaire 😊 ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-03-22, version v3.3.11* Easy to use, great GUI, manages content very well. Solíd app!! ### 5/5 — As a Canadian user, recommended *2026-03-20, version v3.3.10* Works beautifully and regular updates ### 4/5 — Great App *2026-02-25, version v3.3.9* Really solid iptv app for iOS and tvOS. I’ve tested a few and this is my favourite. Very intuitive UI and quick to load playlists and EPG. ### 5/5 — Best for ATV *2026-02-25, version v3.3.8* Fantastic App and great support team. ### 5/5 — The ONLY IPTV app you need *2026-02-24, version v3.3.8* This app is perfection for your IPTV. I tried almost every app available, this one is hands-down the best as far as features and customization. It’s also nice knowing the developer provides continuous updates to the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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… ### 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. ### 1/5 — Never works *2026-05-17, version v3.4.4* It’s always lagging and takes forever to refresh ### 1/5 — Really? Such a bad experience. *2026-03-15* Live TV F1 Race - tried all the buffer settings: none of them work. I would expect this rookie mistake from a new app, not from SwipTV!! Every 20-30s, you rewatch the last 4 seconds of what you have already seen. So it loads the broadcast into the buffer - obviously. Continues to point where first jump back occurred, then suddenly it jumps 5-8 seconds into the future (or back to live transmission) only to rewatch again 20s later🤦🏻‍♂️. And the longer you watch the worse it gets 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️. It does the ‘replay’ every 10s. I would NOT pay for an app that’s this bad. And yes, it is on all the streams: SD, HD and FHD (4K). It cannot be that hard to keep 10-20s in the buffer all the time to keep the player smooth throughout the broadcast. Really bad experience. **Developer response:** Thanks for feedback. Next time you get this kind of issue please contact me via discord so we can verify what cause the issue. Are you sure the problem is on the app side and not on the server side? Did you tested with all in app players or with external player? If the issue is on all player I guess it is a stream issue more than something related to swiptv. But again next time contact us on discord I am always happy to check users issues and fix issues in the app if there is. ### 1/5 — 2 major issues *2026-02-21, version v3.3.6* I have the pro version, 2 majors issues that are frustrating : no sound when airplay and player is paused when changing screen on MacBook ### 1/5 — No android. *2026-01-22, version v3.3.2* All I want is one subscription across android and apple. Is that too much to ask? Do you not make more money from having cross platform apps? I have to pay you, and pay a second provider, it’s ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Seriously? *2026-01-04, version v3.3.0* Dev goes commenting on other apps’s reddit posts with bad sassy comments, grow up! App is bad, and UX is horrific, didn’t leave a review initially but seeing your comment on Reddit really triggered me, here you go! ### 1/5 — Poor Setup UX *2026-01-04, version v3.3.0* After not accepting my initial playlist, would not allow me to refresh to setup, after correcting a couple time. Poor waste of time, while forcing upgrade to the paid version without trying the application. Please do better developers. ### 1/5 — Asking for premium *2025-12-22, version v3.2.30* For some reason the url didn’t work and when I entered another URL im not able to refresh and get the content because I have to wait 24hrs. Can even test it! Currently have UHF but wanted to try something else. ### 1/5 — Bad experience *2025-12-18, version v3.2.30* The channel loading and watching performance isn’t great, they player causes a lot of buffering, after switching to another app I could finally watch without any problems. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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! ### 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 ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-06-01* I just subscribed for the family subscription. This is the best and most solid IPTV app out there. I’ve tried them all trust me. I’m dropping my subscription for the app I’m currently using and this will be my go to app now. **Developer response:** Thanks 🙏 ### 5/5 — The perfect Apple experience *2026-05-31, version v3.4.4* This is the only IPTV player that captures the seamless Apple feeling for IOS and Apple TV ### 5/5 — This is the current best IPTV app for Apple devices *2026-05-19, version v3.4.4* Good job, not perfect obviously but it’s really close ### 5/5 — Great IPTV player. Smart developer. listens to your comments. *2026-05-12, version v3.4.3* The best player. a lot of useful features. A+ ### 5/5 — Works well *2026-05-01, version v3.4.3* I used it for 8 months no problems ### 5/5 — Best IPTV player *2026-04-26* I decided to try this app after seeing a you tube video about it and I’m really happy with it I really like the layout of it and how easy it is to set up It runs very smooth and fast and the content looks very clear For me it’s the best ever and I went ahead and payed for the pro version **Developer response:** Thanks a lot for the comment.
