Vunio turns the IPTV playlist you already have into a streaming experience that feels like it was built by a studio. Add your own M3U / M3U8 link or Xtream Codes login and Vunio does the rest: live TV channels sorted by category, movies and series laid out with poster art and detail pages, and every minute you watch remembered. SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE • Film Universe: your entire film library as a galaxy. Drag to explore, pinch to zoom, tap to play. • Series Discovery: can't decide? Draw a card. Three hints (category, genre, rating) and Vunio picks a series from your own library. EVERYTHING YOU WATCH, IN ONE PLACE • Live TV: channels grouped automatically, with instant search, favorites and a preview that starts the moment you tap. • Movies & Series: poster art, plot, cast, rating and runtime, with seasons and episodes in the right order and everything you've seen marked. • Continue Watching: come back days later and Vunio resumes at the exact second you stopped. • Watch History & Favorites: everything you've played, with progress kept. A PLAYER THAT DELIVERS • Subtitles with your own size, color and language • Dual View: two channels on screen at once • Playback speed, sleep timer and audio track selection • Optional swipe gestures for brightness and volume • Automatic reconnect when a live stream drops • Built to survive messy playlists: broken tags, odd encodings and unusual formats are handled instead of crashing MADE YOURS • Ten accent colors, from Vunio Red to Cyan • Dark, light, or follow your system • Hide categories you never want to see • Parental controls with PIN protection • Private Session: watch without anything being recorded • Multiple sources: keep several playlists and switch anytime • Full Turkish and English PRIVACY Your playlists, streams and viewing history stay on your device. Playlist URLs and login details are kept in encrypted local storage. Vunio doesn't collect or share them, and no account is required. IMPORTANT Vunio is a media player. It does not provide, host, curate or distribute any channel, movie, series or subscription, and it ships with no content. Every stream you see comes from a source you add yourself. You are responsible for holding the rights to the content you play.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vunio at none against Sequel's 7. Vunio also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.5). Sequel's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
