### 3/5 — Looks great, a bit buggy

*2026-10-25*

The UI looks amazing, unfortunately there are a few bugs. Exiting out of a show will sometimes cause a black screen and you can still hear the audio of the show. Does not seem to recover, only closing the app and reopening fixes it

**Developer response:** Thanks don't hesitate to post on discord to help up fixing the issue

### 5/5 — Fantastic Experience

*2026-10-23*

Great app, family sharing, PIP + a lot more. Super easy to manage and navigate. Lots of features the others don’t have so definitely well worth it!! Most importantly my spouse also loves it, very similar to major platforms and looks beautiful.

### 5/5 — ⭐️⭐️⭐️The Best⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-10-20*

I highly recommend Zaply to anyone looking for a top-tier IPTV streaming solution.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.8 — 2026-10-28

• Trakt: connect it in your profile’s Watch status settings. Your watch history comes in, paused titles join Continue Watching, and your Trakt watchlist stays in step with your lists, both ways.
• Follow any series with its bell: it goes on the Calendar and its new episodes are announced. Adding a series to a list rings its bell, and the NEW badge now lights for every series in your lists.
• The Calendar lists everything you follow, each with a button to remove it; a long press on a card removes it too.
• Once a football or rugby match kicks off, its page has Actions and Statistics tabs: goals, cards, substitutions, the numbers and the Line-ups, refreshed during the match.
• Basketball, ice hockey, American football and baseball games get Statistics and Line-ups too, with the score by quarter, period or inning.
• Sport Center shows results and upcoming matches as scoreboards, on For You too.
• Two new subtitle fonts, Shadows Into Light and OpenDyslexic, and a Regular or Bold weight.
• pCloud is a new source in Add a source and during setup: pick your region, then sign in with your email and password.
• Emby: Use Emby Connect, on the server address screen, signs you in without typing an address.
• In Search, the All tab now shows the title under every film and series poster.
• With Separate sources on, each source has its own Select all in Manage library.
• A tap on a Trakt, Simkl, Plex or Jellyfin sign-in code copies it.
• A series goes on in the version you picked, and Ask each time asks at every episode.
• Choose version shows straight away for a media server’s titles.
• Searching a slow media server now finds its titles, and a show no longer hides behind its spin-off.
• MDBList, Simkl and Plex sync at launch again.
• The player’s episode list starts from season 1 again.
• Films keep to a single connection to your provider, and no longer freeze and reload in a loop on some providers.
• Stalker portals that limit requests now load in full, series included.
• On a Mac, Zaply no longer quits while hidden, and closing its window stops the film for good.
• On iPhone Duo, a channel opened from a match on For You or Sports stays on screen.
• Fixed a player crash when turning the iPhone.
• Films with Blu-ray subtitles open faster.
• Plenty of other bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.0.7 — 2026-10-27

• New Live delay setting in the player on live channels: start close to the broadcast, or a steady 10 to 30 seconds behind.
• New Separate sources option in your profile’s Content settings keeps each source’s categories together under its own heading, in Manage library too.
• New Ask each time option under Version in your profile’s Playback settings: Zaply asks which version to play when a film or episode has more than one.
• New Hide separators switch in Clean up names ▸ Live TV: turn it off to keep rows like ##### FRANCE ##### in your channel list.
• In the guide, a clock on a channel’s logo shows which channels have catch-up.
• Live hockey shows the period beside the minute (P2 · 12') and basketball the quarter (Q3 · 7'), and games still being played are no longer shown as finished.
• Other versions shows each copy’s source when your playlist has more than one source.
• The search filter for programmes on air and coming up is now called Programmes.
• Sports cards, search results, the Live list, Catch-up and the guide follow your device’s 12- or 24-hour clock.
• When all your subscription’s connections are in use, a live channel keeps trying for a minute and names the household device using it.
• Subscription in use no longer appears because of this device’s own stream, and Watch anyway no longer leaves a frozen picture.
• On a one-connection subscription, films and episodes reconnect far less often.
• Changing a source’s server, login or password now offers to update its TV guide too.
• Channel logos no longer stay missing for a week after their server had a bad moment.
• iPhone Duo: channels opened from For You no longer close as they start, and turning or unfolding no longer leaves a black screen.
• iPhone: a match played from a team, driver or competition page keeps playing when you turn the phone.
• 4K Dolby Vision remuxes from a Silo server now play.
• On a Mac, closing Zaply’s window now stops playback, and a right-click on a Continue Watching card opens its menu.
• Pressing an episode only another version has (Available in FHD) now plays it, instead of opening that version’s page.
• Continue Watching keeps its NEW badge after Zaply restarts, and a revived show that starts again at season 1 has its new episodes noticed.
• New-episode notifications now arrive after a reinstall or an iCloud restore: Zaply asks for permission to send them once you follow a series.
• Some alerts and error messages that always showed in English are now translated.
• Plenty of other bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.0.6 — 2026-10-25

• A Sports tab now appears before Search when the tab bar has room, for example when Movies or Series are hidden.
• Movie and series pages show the country of production after the year and status.
• The player’s Stats tab now works with the Aether engine too, and adds a Dropped frames row.
• Aether now has the Network buffer setting too, with a 0s choice that starts live channels sooner.
• Fixed the app freezing on a blank screen and closing at every launch after updating to 1.0.5 when the library was large.
• Very large playlists use much less memory while filling or refreshing, so the system no longer closes the app partway through.
• Fixed a crash when switching playlist or profile.
• Titles from a Silo server now play instead of failing with an error.
• Plenty of other bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.0.5 — 2026-10-24

• New Sport Center: star competitions, clubs and drivers to get a page of their events, with live and upcoming matches in the clubs’ colors, recent results and a “Don’t miss” row. For You shows them in a Sport Center rail, and a live match opens its match card.
• New sources: shared folders on a NAS or a computer on your home network (SMB), and Emby servers through Emby Connect, by entering a code at emby.media/pin.
• Each profile can now sync progress and watched titles with Plex, Jellyfin or Emby, plus the Plex watchlist, and Search also looks on your Jellyfin and Emby servers.
• Film and series pages show IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores next to TMDB’s. Change their look or hide them in Appearance ▸ Display ▸ Rating style.
• Appearance ▸ Customize now covers Movies and Series too: each profile picks the top banner and which sections show.
• New Send feedback in Settings ▸ Support: report a bug or an idea with screenshots and the app’s log, then follow it on Discord.
• Subtitles: Auto-sync, under Timing, lines up a downloaded subtitle file with the voices, subtitle and audio timing change in small steps, and the menu searches each subtitle provider you’ve switched on.
• Clean up names, in Everyone ▸ Preferences, lets you choose how films, series and channels are named: take out your own words, or show names and categories as your provider wrote them.
• Infuse: films and episodes open under their real title, start where you left off, and your progress comes back to Continue Watching.
• Next and previous channel now follow the list you started from, such as a match’s channels, search results or Recently added. On iPad or Mac, a keyboard’s arrow keys change channel.
• The Resume button shows where playback will start, like “Resume · 1:23:00” or “Resume S1 E3 · 33:00”.
• Dolby Atmos films play as Dolby Atmos on AirPods with spatial audio, and the sound no longer drifts out of sync when casting to a Chromecast.
• Live channels that took about 16 seconds to start now open quickly, and a stream that slows to a trickle reconnects by itself instead of stalling.
• The Next Episode prompt waits for the real end credits, and titles you remove from Continue Watching no longer come back after a sync with MDBList, Simkl or Trakt.
• Large Jellyfin and Emby libraries sync much faster the first time, and posters from slow image servers no longer give up.
• Plenty of other bug fixes and stability improvements.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-10-20

• New: What’s This Song? Open Details in the player and Zaply names the song that’s playing, with Shazam. It listens to the stream itself, not the room, so it works on live channels too.
• Watch history: your profile page now lists what each profile watched, day by day. Tap a line to open the film, episode or channel again.
• More subtitles: SubDL, SubSource and Addic7ed join OpenSubtitles, in Services ▸ Subtitle providers.
• Channel colors: a new switch in Appearance ▸ Display gives channel logos a plain background.
• Sport search finds competitions by any word or by their other names, and renaming a source offers to rename its TV guide too.
• Resuming, or changing the audio or subtitle track, now starts at the exact moment instead of racing through a few seconds of video.
• Subtitles now move above the player controls while those are on screen, instead of hiding behind them.
• On subscriptions with a connection limit, a device that has stopped watching no longer blocks playback.
• Channel names that start with a provider label, like “FR 4K | C8”, now read “C8 4K”.
• Plenty of other bug fixes and stability improvements.
