KIPTV turns your IPTV playlists into a cinematic experience. Connect your Xtream Codes or M3U providers and unlock a world of movies, TV shows, and live channels through an interface designed to make you forget you're using an IPTV player. DESIGNED WITH CARE KIPTV doesn't look like an IPTV player. It looks like the app you've always wanted. Every screen is crafted down to the smallest detail: artwork loads beautifully, animations feel smooth and natural, everything flows effortlessly from one view to the next. The interface adapts seamlessly to iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, and it's already ready for the new Liquid Glass look in iOS 26. Open it once and you'll feel the difference. BROWSE IN STYLE Every title is automatically enriched with HD posters, synopses, cast, trailers, and age ratings thanks to integration with the world's largest movie database. Browse by genre, discover the week's trending titles in the hero carousel, or search across all your content — movies, shows, channels, actors, and TV programs — from a single search bar. THREE VIDEO ENGINES, ZERO HASSLE KIPTV packs three playback engines with automatic switching when something doesn't play. If a format won't work with one engine, the app switches to the next — no action needed on your part. Supports HLS, MP4, MKV, AVI, RTSP, and virtually every format out there. LIVE TV WITH PROGRAM GUIDE Watch live TV with a built-in EPG: see what's on now, what's coming next, and browse the full program guide in grid or timeline view. Smart grouping of similar channels and up to 7 days of replay for channels with archives. Set reminders so you never miss a show. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Your watch progress syncs automatically to the cloud across all your devices. Start a movie on iPhone and pick it up on Apple TV, or the other way around. The next episode plays automatically — binge without interruptions. DOWNLOAD & WATCH OFFLINE Download movies and individual episodes to watch without a connection. On a plane, on the subway, off the grid. The app detects when you're offline and automatically switches to offline mode with all your downloaded content. YOUR SPACE, YOUR RULES Organize your favorites with custom tags. Hide categories you don't care about. Reorder everything the way you like. Protect content with PIN-based parental controls. Choose from over 20 avatars for each profile and manage up to 5 playlists with a Premium Plus subscription. ON THE BIG SCREEN Cast to your TV with built-in Chromecast or stream to your Apple TV via AirPlay. Use Picture-in-Picture to keep watching while you browse. On Apple TV, your content appears right on the Top Shelf. SUBTITLES IN EVERY LANGUAGE Search and download subtitles in any language. Customize font, size, color, and position. Closed captions for the hearing impaired included. FOR THOSE WHO APPRECIATE THE DETAILS Incognito mode. Manual engine selection for VOD and live separately. Configurable network buffer. Custom HTTP user agent. Adjustable content and EPG cache. Start free. Go Premium when you're ready. KIPTV is a media player. The app does not provide, host, or distribute any content. Users are solely responsible for the content played through their own playlists. Terms of Use: https://kiptv.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://kiptv.app/privacy
