You update the app n whatever you guys fix in the app always leaves another issue smh.. love the interface n functionality of the app whenever it decides to work properly which is hardly ever. Gonna give it another couple of weeks to see if it improves but if not then I’ll just go with someone else ### 4/5 — Best multi picture IPTV player *2026-06-10, version 3.6.2* I haven’t found an IPTV that plays multiple feeds at once like this does. Definitely worth it but hoping updates happen more frequently. Has potential to make tons of money if new features added (like pop out picture) and other profile fixes across device saves. Use the devs discord for support. ### 3/5 — Ne fonctionne plus *2026-05-25* L’application ( achetée en 2024) ne veut plus démarrer (ça repart systématiquement sur l’écran d’accueil iPhone) J’ai un IPhone 13 sous iOS 26. Pouvez-vous vous m’indiquer la démarche à suivre svp ? Merci ### 2/5 — Unstable Compared to Other IPTV Players *2026-05-17* Whatever I’m watching fades out and pauses frequently. So I have to switch to another IPTV Player to complete whatever I’m watching. Additionally, the EPG shows “No Information” for all TV Channels, even after manually downloading the Full EPG. So, instead of drastically changing the appearance of this App recently, which I do not like, the developers should have improved the stability and quality of this App. ### 2/5 — Dislike New Appearance *2026-05-08, version 3.6.2* Appearance changed with last update where it’s now difficult to read the EPG in TV mode as EPG is now mixed with the show in the background. I like the previous appearance before the last App update, where the EPG & show were separated. ### 2/5 — Alternative to Tivimate for Android but support is suspect *2026-05-05, version 3.4.5* If you’ve ever tried Tivimate on Android (Nvidia Shield etc), you know that it’s is the premier IPTV client for that system. Nothing else comes close. Tivimax - after extensive testing of other clients comes the closest on the Apple/Mac ecosystem. Be warned that development of this app currently and I fear going forward is spotty at best. Developer sporadically visits their Discord page (this is the page they have designated as their official support portal). Bug fix requests are rarely acknowledged or acted on. For example, they recently released an update but that took over a year to happen and there doesnt seem to be any information available as to what was fixed or updated? This is not a cheap $2 app. For $20 I feel it should have MUCH better support response. ### 2/5 — It’s not Tivimate! *2026-04-15, version 3.5.0* Always liked the Tivimate in Android. So when I bought an Apple TV I thought this was the TVOS version. That it is not.!! Very clunky and sometimes menus disappear, you have to close the app down and start again. There is No record functionality with this (although that’s an Apple thing I think) And if you click on anything for support it just goes blank 🙄 Would like a refund but I don’t think there is any chance of that. ### 2/5 — Not Great *2026-02-08, version 3.5.0* All kinds of issues with the EPG with this app. Not reliable. Switched to a different one with better results. Layout is good and it’s fairly intuitive, but you can do better. ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-11-04, version 3.5.0* App keeps crashing after restoring from iCloud back up. Won’t load my playlist and then crashes to Home Screen. Everytime. Works fine on Apple TV. ### 3/5 — All favorites no longer works *2025-10-31* On apple tv the all favorites group no longer shows favorites from all other portals. This was my favorite feature. Also hiding groups also hides all channels. The show channels from hidden groups does not work. ### 1/5 — Useless *2025-10-08* Stopped working and is now dead ### 3/5 — Recent update is a disaster *2025-10-04, version 3.5.0* Great app! Was. Up until the moment they decided to update it, now it’s insanely glitchy. Whoever you are, updater, fix it, please ### 4/5 — EPG *2025-10-03* TiviMax ist ein sehr, sehr guter Player. Hat jemand eine Idee, warum bei mir das EPG nicht funktioniert? ### 1/5 — Freezes to much *2025-10-03, version 3.5.0* Nice app. Has the feel of tivimate. But freezes too much. I just purchased your premium app but certainly doesn’t feel like. Fix the problem otherwise is pointless to call it premium. ### 2/5 — Good But Not *2025-10-01, version 3.4.5* Even though I have paid for the premium version of this app, there is no PIP on MacOS. This is very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-09-28, version 3.5.0* Service was working until yesterday now it’s not working at all. I have no channels on there. I added my playlist my playlist is good. I have it on all my TVs. I was just working yesterday now it’s not working at all. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stalker portal *2026-06-21, version 3.6.2* Stalker portal by MAC doesn’t work again like before ### 1/5 — A l'abandon 🫣 *2026-04-13* Ancien utilisateur de TiviMate sur Android, j'ai choisi TiviMax en pensant trouver une alternative sérieuse sur iOS. Quelle erreur : • Absence de suivi : Aucune mise à jour depuis plus d'un an ❗️ L'application semble totalement délaissée par ses développeurs. • Aucune gestion de sauvegarde automatique via iCloud. Si vous changez d'appareil (ou réinstallez l'app), vous perdez tout. • Interface datée : Le design est loin d'être à la hauteur des standards actuels et l'ergonomie laisse à désirer. C'était prometteur au début, mais finalement nan, passez votre chemin tant qu'une mise à jour majeure n'a pas été publiée. ### 1/5 — Developer is useless *2026-04-04, version 3.5.0* Don’t buy this app and avoid it at all costs. These people are not interested in fixing it, nor are they interested in making it usable. Please avoid and find a better use of your money. ### 1/5 — Garbage app waste of money *2026-03-30, version 3.5.0* This app is expensive, just to have it loose all your settings randomly, and no matter how many times you back it up the backup always fails. ### 1/5 — Can no longer sync playlists between TV and phone *2026-03-30, version 3.5.0* No use to download if it can’t sync across platforms ### 1/5 — Search Fails *2026-03-06, version 3.5.0* I cannot search for content. When I do, the whole app freezes and I need to force close and reboot to watch TV again. Brutal, especially given I paid almost $30CA with tax on this. Tough to watch iptv with no search function. I will be reporting and asking for refund. ### 1/5 — No updates by developers *2026-02-25, version 3.5.0* The app players are freezing up after a couple of minutes. Have had this as a backup as I use iSTB app which has powerful players. Hafifa your app sucks. You need a complete upgrade. Also after finding a channel for example you cannot save it as favorites. ### 1/5 — epg not working *2026-01-20, version 3.5.0* epg downloads 90mb. tells me it’s loading but nothing populates ### 1/5 — Can’t search for movies or tv shows needs to get fixed *2025-11-07* 👎👎 ### 1/5 — Terribe app ridden with bugs *2025-10-12, version 3.4.5* It’s so bad that you can’t even watch a TV show. If you start watching on demand TV show, the live TV channel starts playing in the background. Ridiculous. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — so far, so good! *2026-06-22* coming from Tivimate on a Google tv streamer box, i was nervous to see what an Apple TV equivalent would be like or if it even existed. i was super relieved to learn that this is nearly a 1:1 copy. there’s only a few minor differences and it has a few improvements over TM in my opinion. player is silky smooth and the UI is great. i’m unsure how many devices you get with the $20 app purchase as i know TM gives you 5-6 (i forget) so far i have zero complaints! ### 5/5 — Best IPTV Player for MAC/IOS *2026-03-30, version 3.4.5* Have tried a lot of IPTV players… Chillio, IPTV Smarters Pro, etc. and I like this the best. If you want an EPG/TV Guide similar to what you get with Cable/Satellite tv - this is the one to beat. Uses M3U and Xtreme feeds. ### 5/5 — Picture in picture *2025-12-19* Picture in Picture seems to not be working now with the new iOS’s. Also would be nice if AirPlay is possible, not screen mirroring but AirPlay casting. ### 5/5 — The best Iptv app for Apple TV *2025-09-28* Amazing, the best Iptv app for Apple TV ### 5/5 — Similar to Tivimate *2025-09-14, version 3.5.0* It’s the 2nd best when compared to Tivimate. And since we can’t get Tivimate on Apple this will do. ### 5/5 — Meilleure application *2025-09-08* Pour l’instant je n’ai pas trouvé meilleure application selon moi On peut régler tout les paramètres que ce soit la police la couleur du fond du texte et bien d’autres encore ### 5/5 — TiviMate für iOS *2025-03-17* Richtig tolle IPTV App, sehr gelungen und durchdacht, genau das was ich gesucht habe, das kommt keine andere App ran! Weiter so… :) ### 5/5 — Mein Favorit *2024-12-31* Für mich einer der besten IPTV Player für den AppleTV. Sehr Gute Bedienung, schell und stabil. Was noch schön wäre ist eine Kanallisten Bearbeitung um Kanäle und Gruppen zu entfernen. ### 5/5 — Great App *2024-12-29, version 3.4.6* App is fast, reliable, and stable ### 5/5 — Best macOS IPTV player (honestly) *2024-10-14* I’ve tried them all (IBO, Smarters, KODI, GSE, IPTV Exp) and this one is by far the best. I have genuinely no idea how this is only rated 3.3 but others are rated better even though they are far worse. This one works. Interface is clean and slick. I tried the lite version first to ensure it would work and it did. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
