Sadly the app hasn’t seen an update in over a year and the Discord support site is concerningly quiet. This is the closest you are going to fin for a Tivimate like experience on Apple TV. Just wish the developer was more active. ### 1/5 — Minus *’s this is crp DO NOT INSTALL ONLY ADS. *2025-07-08* This IS FAKE NEWS .. LIES ABOUT WHAT IT ADVERTISES!!!!! Nothing but ads and does NOT WORK,,, waste of life. ### 1/5 — Interface boa mas não funciona com playlist confiável *2025-04-25* Sempre ouvi elogios ao Tivimax, uso o Tivimate na tv. Ao instalar, carregou minha playlist, mas nenhum canal funciona. É a mesma playlist que eu uso om sucesso na tv e em outros apps no iOS. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-04-12* Downloaded the app looks great after entering my extreme code logins channel loads but dosent stream . ### 1/5 — Pointless *2025-04-08* The idea of this app is to test whether it works with your service and then purchase the premium version. However, you never get more than a few seconds of content before you get another full screen ad, so it’s impossible to tell. It looks to me as if the app is messing up the aspect ratio. But in the absence of being able to test it properly or check if there is a setting I can change, I will not be making any purchase and will move on to try another player. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2025-03-12* There is a constant opaque box in right hand corner of the screen saying it is the free version and asking if I want to upgrade to the premium version. Also there is a watercolour sign across the entire screen “TIVIMAX” making this an unusable app. They have no intention of offering a free lite version, this is a trial app. I hope Apple removes this useless app from their App Store. ### 1/5 — APP NOT WORKING ON THE IPAD! *2025-02-16* I have this app on my iPad for few months, it was working perfectly fine up until 1 week ago, and its also really weird that it’s working perfectly on my iPhone, iPad doesn’t work at all ### 1/5 — Non funziona più niente *2025-02-10* Dopo l’ultimo aggiornamento non funziona più le liste che prima del aggiornamento funzionavano ### 1/5 — C’mon let us actually demo! *2025-01-30* This app has to many ads, too many bugs etc. terrible execution many people are unsuccessful to demo its functionality before buying the full product. Hope they revise this soon!! ### 1/5 — Finger weg !!! *2025-01-18* Zu viel Werbung, eins nach dem anderen, man kann nicht wirklich nutzen 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Advertisements *2025-01-01* Insane amount of advs, got my playlist set up fine but every time I try watch something I get ads pop up every twenty seconds. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Horrible trial *2024-12-31* This is the worst possible app as a “trial”. 30 second ads every minute. Don’t waste your time ### 1/5 — Way too many ADS!!! *2024-12-11* I couldn’t even try the app out! Every couple of seconds. Huge ads pop up stopping me from trying anything. Im not even just talking about when video is playing either. It’s playing ads while trying to type in during setup! If you want people to test out the app do it like other apps and limit the functionality a little bit. ### 3/5 — Desfase sonido *2024-11-23* La aplicación es muy buena, he comprado la versión premium y he tenido que devolver la compra porque con los HomePod hay muchísimo desfase de sonido con la imagen. Otras aplicaciones no lo hacen este desfase. Si el desarrollador arregla esto volvería a comprarla y la aplicación no tiene opción para corregir este desfase. ### 1/5 — Ad pop ups every 2 minutes *2024-11-08* I couldn’t test the app to see if I wanted to purpose the premium, I had an add pop up every 2 minutes that I could navigate through the menus to set up the app for viewing. I manage to get an playlist added but the ad pop is a no for me. ### 1/5 — Tivi mate *2024-11-03* Joke of a app literally after the year they cancel the premium version an leave you with the version that doesn’t even update epg guide it’s a joke they quick enough taking the money though huh ### 1/5 — Epg *2024-10-28* L affichage de l epg ralenti l application, corrigé svp on paye pas pour rien ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 3.6.1 update my playlist stopped working *2026-08-14* 3.6.1 update my playlist stopped working ### 1/5 — Annoying, will drive you go Crazy !! *2026-06-19, version 3.6.1* This Lite player is totally useless. Within seconds of launching the app, it starts flashing and popping up messages asking you to buy the full version. The screen is heavily watermarked as well. This is NOT the original and popular Android TiViMate app. This is the iOS adaptation by a different developer who calls it as TiViMax. I wanted to test the Apple TV 4K and TiViMax pairing for video upscaling, hardware acceleration, and other IPTV features like cc, catch-up, LiveTV rewind, phase etc. before deciding whether to buy the full version. Unfortunately, the Lite version makes that almost impossible. If you want users to pay upfront, then don’t release a Lite version. A trial version should let people properly evaluate the product, not constantly interrupt them with purchase prompts. Considering the experience with the Lite version, I have serious doubts about paying for the full version. Make sure full version has 30 day money back!! ### 1/5 — Appli (trop) instable *2026-06-09* Appli instable, au bout de 3 lancements, elle plante en continue (en boucle). C’est indécent de proposer une version payante (la non lite). Stabilise ton app, quand t’auras assez d’utilisateurs et de retours propose une version payante, là c’est un produit bâclé y a juste l’interface qui est jolie. ### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible *2026-05-02* I never have the energy to review apps … but … this is quite honestly so w*#k it needs saying … what a waste of life trying to get this to work … should have covered my nuts in honey and seen off a bees nest … would have been more fun ### 1/5 — Absolut nicht zu gebrauchen stürzt immer wieder ab. Schrott Software *2026-02-26* Diese App ist das letzte, nicht Downloaden! ### 1/5 — Xtream Codes nutzlos *2026-01-17* Sovald man Xtream codes Portal laden möchte, bekommt man unknown error 1202. Bleibt nichts über als die app zu beenden und neu starten. ### 1/5 — Unmöglich *2025-09-27* Ich wollte den Player testen und wenn er gut ist die Vollversion kaufen. Es ist jedoch nicht möglich den Player zu testen. Es kommt nur Werbung. Es ist unmöglich ihn zu testen somit kann ich auch die Vollversion nicht kaufen. ### 1/5 — Too much ads *2025-09-21* Banner ad is acceptable, but large ads result in a poor user experience ### 1/5 — Does not play *2025-08-27* Just blank screen ### 1/5 — VERY VERY VERY STUPID app *2025-08-01, version 3.5.0* Just force you to watch one ad after another, after another, endless, stupid design, don’t waste your time with this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Durée abonnement *2023-08-21* Bonjour j’ai pris un abonnement Tivimax , mais j’aimerais connaître la durée de cet abonnement car c’est indiqué nul part. En attendant je suis pleinement satisfait ### 5/5 — Great app to test with *2023-03-26* The Lite version is excellent to test the app with your provider, to get a general navigation fell of the GUI, and experience the streaming capabilities of your device. The 30second adds are as intended …. This is not a permanent use app but a full feature Lite version to test with. Great Idea and works fine. ### 5/5 — Premium *2023-02-19* Warto kupić premium ale trzeba mieć na uwadze ze w chwili obecnej ( Luty 2023) aplikacja jest w fazie Beta. Zawiera błędy który są systemacznie łatane. 10 Języków do wyboru ### 5/5 — Works well *2022-12-19* I wanted to test mobile streaming via this app. App works well and is fast and responsive. I’ll be upgrading. ### 5/5 — Great app *2022-10-18* First off the app is a great alternative to tivimate for ios users the ads are on here because it’s not meant to be free it’s more of a trial you can pay the 20$ to get the premium version of the app and you can contact support with any issues via discord so please don’t bash the app without knowing how to set it up ect.. ### 5/5 — The best *2022-10-08* After trying about 20 iptv apps, this is the best. I have it for 1 month now, no bug. Menus are very well made. Easy to use. ### 5/5 — App Rating *2022-06-17* I Like The App Really Much, My Only Issue Is The Ad Is In The Middle Instead Of It Being At The Bottom. It’s Like I Cut Half Of Their Body Off. ### 4/5 — Xml epg *2024-11-23* Hello!! Very nice app. Thank you. I can’t add epg in xml format. Is it possible to do? ### 4/5 — A good clone of Tivimate *2024-04-03* Need to configure properly to get correct aspect ratio ### 4/5 — Too Much Ads *2023-02-20* App is fairly good, needs some improvement like categories section like in tivimate. But number of ads is too much much. Rather give a payment option to remove ads. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
