The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: MWPlay at 80% against IPTV Player's 0%. MWPlay also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IPTV Player holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Player has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of MWPlay's written reviews are positive against 0% of IPTV Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MWPlay ships an update fortnightly, IPTV Player monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
