## What is UHF?

Your favourite TV channels, movies, and series. All in one place, playing beautifully.

UHF is a smart, modern IPTV player made by people who actually care about how software feels. Whether you use M3U8, Xtream, Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby playlists, UHF turns your streams into a clean, super-smooth Apple TV experience that feels just like a premium streaming service.

And because we put our users first, we don’t lock the essentials behind a paywall. You get all our core playback and content tools completely free. No tricks, no nonsense. Here’s what you get for free:

- Search everything, instantly: Find that live channel, movie, or series across all your playlists in seconds. Handy colour-coding shows you exactly where each stream lives at a glance.

- A TV guide built for touchscreens: Forget clunky, old-school grids. We designed our EPG (Electronic Program Guide) from scratch so swiping through schedules feels fast, responsive, and natural.

- Never miss a moment: Jump back in time with silky-smooth catch-up support, or pop your video into a smaller, resizable Picture-in-Picture window so you can watch while texting or browsing other apps.


- Cast to the big screen: Beam your stream straight to your TV with full AirPlay and Chromecast support. While many other IPTV apps charge extra for casting, or struggle to keep the connection stable, UHF gives you rock-solid, seamless big-screen streaming out of the box at zero cost.


- Stream securely with a built-in VPN: Protect your privacy and avoid ISP throttling without ever leaving the app. Our built-in VPN client connects effortlessly to all major VPN providers using WireGuard or OpenVPN protocols, so you can secure your stream with just a tap.

- Track what you watch: Connect your Trakt account to log watched episodes, rate movies, and check your watchlist right from the UHF home screen.

- Your library, your rules: Mark favourites, rename channels, reorder categories, or lock specific folders behind a PIN code to keep things tidy and kid-friendly.

- Record live TV with your own home server: Take full control of your recordings with UHF Server. Run our free companion app on any Mac, Windows, or Linux machine on your local network, and schedule recordings straight from your phone.

- Watch your way: 4K HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, seamless OpenSubtitles.com integration and more.

- No Wi-Fi drops, no worries: If your connection stutters, you don't need to reload the player. UHF quietly handles common playback errors and reconnects automatically.

Want to go PRO? UHF is free to use, but if you want to supercharge your setup (and support our little team while we build new features), we offer an optional PRO plan:

- Magic multi-device sync: Start watching on your iPhone, pick up on your iPad. Your playlists, recent views, and favourites update everywhere, instantly. It feels like magic.

- Zero ads and watermarks: Pure, uninterrupted viewing.

- Unlimited TV guide & alerts: Scroll as far ahead in the schedule as you like, and set alerts so you never miss a kickoff or a season premiere.

### 3/5 — Ótimo aplicativo.. porém..

*2026-08-25*

Ótimo aplicativo, mas precisa rever na questão de eu sair dele sem encerrar o aplicativo e ir para outro, quando volto, ele fica em tela preta, preciso apertar o botão voltar no controle e abrir novamente o conteúdo para ele carregar novamente. Uso ele no iPad Pro M5 e Apple TV 4K.

### 1/5 — Sleep mode

*2026-08-24*

Mac goes into sleep mode after a few minutes of not moving the pointer

### 1/5 — Stremio Addons

*2026-08-20*

Triste antigamente tinha a função de addons do stremio mas eu so tinha addons de torrent agora q tenho os q funciona no iOS n tem mais a função, voltem pois é o melhor app

### 4/5 — Great- sports mode?

*2026-08-19, version 1.100.1*

It is a great app that lets you download episodes of series and movies. It would had been perfect if you could see the games that are on the channels in a specific tab( for example- go the sport section and see that one team is playing against another team in all these channels) that would make it perfect!

### 5/5 — Awesome but expensive…

*2026-08-17*

Downloaded this app as a recommendation for my iPad and it’s a great app with great support, I really enjoy using it so went to purchase to help the developers out only to find it cost £45 for lifetime 😳
I’ve purchased the tivimate app which is another awesome media player for my fire stick which only costs £30, unfortunately this app is way too expensive which is a shame…but keep up the good work highly recommend, just wish it was cheaper 👍🏻

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2026-08-11, version 1.100.1*

So far a good app for iphone.

### 2/5 — The nagging must stop

*2026-08-10, version 1.100.0*

I understand that app developers need to make a living, and UHF has reasonable pricing. But what's NOT reasonable is having the subscription nag popping up at literally every action I do: changing channels, POP subscription nag!, browsing the guide, POP subscription nag!, opening settings, POP subscription nag!, literally every action triggers the subscription pop-up window. 

I'm not sure if it's a bug (it certainly wasn't like that before; the nag would pop a couple times only) or if it's working as intended, but personally the nagging has turned me off the app completely. The UI is also getting more and more confusing with each new release, so it's time to move on.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2026-08-10, version 1.100.0*

Really really good and smooth easy url and looks beautiful

### 4/5 — Great, needs a few tweaks

*2026-08-09, version 1.100.0*

This is a great app, has a vpn component as well, but could do with a few additions.  Larger logos for channels, currently they are a bit small to read.  Move to top and move to bottom when organising channels.  Add/amend small icons to custom categories.  Easy access to refresh contents, or option to refresh in background when opening app.  Unraid docker for dvr recording.

### 5/5 — The best IPTV Viewing experience on mobile

*2026-08-06, version 1.99.0*

This app has been solid for me; but the recent decision to drop ads and watermarks from the free version has put it over the top. This is hands down the best IPTV app for mobile.
