NanoPlayer is a lightweight stream URL player. It plays network stream URLs you provide — it does NOT supply, host, or distribute any channels, streams, or media content. WHAT YOU NEED TO USE THIS APP You must bring your own legally obtained stream URL (e.g. an HLS stream your organization or service has authorized you to access). Paste the URL into the app to start playing. FEATURES • TV Remote-style 1–9 preset grid — tap a number key to instantly switch to your preset stream • Channel list with alphabetical index, name search • Import streams: single URL or batch via M3U file • Favorite channels for quick access • Subtitle / CC track detection (when the stream includes embedded tracks) • Sleep timer — auto-stop after a set duration • Full-screen playback with auto-rotate to landscape • Full-screen gestures: slide right half to adjust volume, left half to adjust brightness • Auto-resume last played stream on launch • Auto-skip on stream error • Dead-link detection and cleanup for custom entries • Light / Dark / System appearance theme • Game controllers: play/pause, switch channels, and cycle presets with an MFi, Xbox, or PlayStation controller. • Quick Links (URL schemes): open a preset, play/pause, or switch channels from Safari, a Home Screen icon, or another app — e.g. `nanoplayer://play?preset=1`. • Apple Shortcuts: automate NanoPlayer — start a channel preset when you connect to your car, get home, and more. PRO (one-time purchase) Unlock all limits and advanced features: • Preset grid: 3 slots → 9 slots • Favorites: up to 5 → unlimited • Custom imports: up to 5 → unlimited IMPORTANT NOTICE NanoPlayer does not provide, host, or distribute any streaming content, channel lists, or media resources.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Text Parser Pro at none against NanoPlayer's 1. NanoPlayer's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
