CarTV is a lightweight M3U / M3U8 playlist tool, built for watching on the road. SCREEN MIRRORING - Put your whole iPhone screen on the car display: works with any app, even ones without a Cast button - Open any app and it shows up on the car screen exactly as on your phone - One tap on the Cast to Car tab to start WHAT IT DOES All you need is an M3U or M3U8 link. CarTV parses it, sorts the entries into the groups defined in your playlist, and plays them. No account, no sign-in, nothing to configure. FORMATS AND PLAYBACK - M3U and M3U8 playlists - HLS and standard HTTP streams - Hardware-accelerated decoding, with a software decoder as fallback for MKV, HEVC and DTS - Embedded and external subtitles, including tracks extracted from MKV - Reads tvg-logo and group-title tags from your playlist - Remembers where you left off YOUR OWN MEDIA SERVER - Connect to your own Jellyfin or Emby server - Browse your libraries, seasons and episodes - Episodes are sorted automatically and resume where you stopped - Server addresses and credentials never leave your device CAR MODE A landscape layout made for a phone in a dashboard mount: oversized controls, large type, and one-tap switching between entries. Built for passengers. Note: for passenger use only. Never watch while driving. MOMENTS WORTH STOPPING FOR Park by the lake on a quiet weekend, set up your fishing rod, and finally watch that old movie you've been saving. At the campsite, stay curled up with your partner after sunset while you wait for the stars. During a forty-minute charging stop, watch two cartoons with the kids or catch up on that movie you and your friends have talked about for ages. When the car is parked and the big display lights up, an ordinary wait becomes time worth remembering. MANAGE YOUR PLAYLISTS - Add as many playlist URLs as you need, by link or by scanning a QR code - Refresh, rename, or remove any of them - Filter by the groups in your playlist - Mark favourites for quick access - Import video files from your device and play them offline MINI PLAYER Keep playing while you browse the rest of your list. No need to back out and start over. PRIVACY Everything you add stays on your iPhone. No account needed. CarTV is a player only. It does not provide, host, bundle, or recommend any content. You supply your own playlists and servers and are responsible for having the right to use them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lenyes Smart at none against CarTV's 3. Lenyes Smart also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18). CarTV's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
