### 5/5 — Top App

*2026-07-03*

I’ve been using VelkoTV for a little while now and it’s been great. Setup was easy and I was watching in just a few minutes. The picture quality is really good and there’s a ton of channels and shows to choose from. Everything has worked smoothly and it’s definitely worth the price. I’d recommend it if you’re looking for a solid streaming service.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad setup only took a few minutes and playback has been smooth — making the service you already subscribe to feel great on Apple TV is exactly what Velko is for. If you ever have a feature request, we'd love to hear it at velko.tv.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-07-03*

I’ve tried a lot of IPTV players over the years, and Velko is easily the best one I’ve used. The setup was incredibly simple, the interface is clean and intuitive, and everything just works without the headaches I’ve experienced with other apps.

The Favorites feature is one of my favorite additions—it makes finding the channels I actually watch fast and effortless. The cloud syncing is also fantastic. Being able to switch between my iPhone and Apple TV without having to set everything up again is a huge convenience.

Playback quality has been excellent, and the overall experience feels much smoother and more seamless than any other IPTV player I’ve tried. It’s fast, stable, and polished.

If you’re looking for an IPTV player that’s easy to use and actually feels modern, I highly recommend giving Velko a try.

**Developer response:** Thank you — this made our day! Favorites is exactly the kind of thing we love hearing about, and there's more coming for the guide and personalization. Thanks for taking the time to write this.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.9.1 — 2026-08-03

What's new in 1.9.1:

• Search puts the closest match first. Type a channel's name and it comes up top, even when your provider writes it a little differently — short names no longer get lost behind a long list of loose matches.
• The close button now fades away with the rest of the controls while you watch, and comes straight back with a tap.
• Small improvements and cleanups.

Thanks for using Velko!

### 1.9 — 2026-07-30

What's new in 1.9:

• Restore Purchases now tells you what happened — it confirms when your purchase is back, and says clearly when there's nothing to restore, like an ended subscription or a purchase made with a different Apple ID.
• Clearer messages when a purchase doesn't complete, including when it's waiting on approval.
• Small improvements and cleanups.

Thanks for using Velko!

### 1.8 — 2026-07-07

What's new in 1.8:

• Aspect ratio, right on the player — some channels broadcast in the wrong shape. Tap the aspect button while watching to choose Fit, Fill, 16:9, or 4:3, and Velko remembers your choice for that channel.
• Small improvements and cleanups.

Thanks for using Velko!

### 1.7 — 2026-07-06

What's new in 1.7:

• Screen fit — if your TV stretches the picture or cuts off the edges, fix it once in Settings → Screen on Apple TV and all of Velko fits: guide, menus, and video. It replaces the aspect-ratio setting.
• Small improvements and cleanups.

Thanks for using Velko!

### 1.6 — 2026-07-04

What's new in 1.6:

• Aspect ratio control — keep the picture as broadcast, fill the screen to remove black bars, or force 16:9 / 4:3. In Settings → Playback, set per device.
• Streaming quality — for channels that offer more than one quality, choose Best available, Automatic, or Data saver — handy on cellular.
• Live loading progress — adding a provider or opening a large channel list now shows what's happening, with a live download count, so it never looks stuck.
• Clearer connecting screen — the guide now tells you it's connecting to your provider while your categories load.

Thanks for using Velko!
