About

Flimmer

Read full description

Flimmer is a player for the IPTV service you already subscribe to, on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. It comes empty. You enter your own provider's server address, username and password, and Flimmer turns a long, messy list into Channels, Films and Series that are organised, searchable and fast. BUILT FOR BIG CATALOGUES A provider's library can run to hundreds of thousands of items. Flimmer indexes yours on your device, a category at a time, in the background, so browsing and search are instant and keep working without a connection. PLAYS WHAT OTHERS WON'T Many film libraries use formats Apple's built-in player cannot open, such as MKV. Flimmer plays them anyway, and uses the native player, with Picture in Picture and AirPlay, wherever it can. TITLES THAT READ LIKE TITLES Providers pad names with prefixes, tags and separators. Flimmer quietly turns them into a title, a year and a quality badge. LIVE TV, PROPERLY Channel logos, what's on now and next from the guide, quick channel switching, and catch-up where your provider offers it. APPLE TV, SET UP FROM YOUR PHONE Scan the code on your television with your iPhone and your provider comes across. No typing passwords with a remote. GENTLE ON YOUR LINE If your subscription allows only one stream at a time, Flimmer pauses its library work while you watch, so your stream gets the connection. FLIMMER PLUS, IF YOU WANT IT Everything that plays is free, with no ads and no time limits. Flimmer Plus is an optional upgrade that adds sync of favourites and Continue Watching across your iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, the provider vault, more than one profile, backup provider lines with automatic failover, and more personal collections. Choose monthly, yearly (with a free trial for new subscribers) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Family Sharing is included, at no extra cost. PRIVACY Your video never passes through our servers. An account is optional. If you create one, we store your account and profile details, favourites and resume points, any provider credential you choose to sync, feedback you send, and limited diagnostics you choose to attach. No trackers, no advertising, no third-party data-collection SDKs. The only measurement is a handful of anonymous milestone counts with no identifier in them, which you can switch off in Settings. Delete your account and account-linked data from Settings at any time. Flimmer is a player only. It does not include, host or provide any channels, films, series, playlists or subscriptions, and it is not affiliated with any IPTV or OTT provider. To use Flimmer you need your own account with a service you already pay for; you enter its address and credentials yourself. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to watch whatever you connect to. Flimmer does not endorse or promote the streaming of copyright-protected material without permission from the copyright holder. Flimmer Plus subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase, and renewals are charged within 24 hours before the period ends. A free trial, where offered, becomes a paid subscription when it ends unless cancelled. Manage or cancel in your App Store account settings.
