SNPlayer plays your own M3U and Xtream Codes playlists on iPhone and iPad. You bring the playlist, SNPlayer turns it into an app: live TV with categories and favourites, a TV guide, and your movies and series on a poster wall that remembers where you stopped. YOUR PLAYLISTS Add M3U and M3U8 playlists by URL, or sign in with Xtream Codes. SNPlayer keeps the categories your playlist already has, so channels, movies and series land where they belong. Channel logos come from the playlist when it carries them, and from a clean numbered tile when it does not. LIVE TV Browse by category, star the channels you actually watch, and switch channel from inside the player. Now and next appear on the channel rows as soon as an EPG is loaded. TV GUIDE A full timeline with a now line, a day picker, and a reminder you can set for a programme that has not started yet. The guide is only as good as the EPG your provider supplies, and SNPlayer tells you when there is none instead of showing empty rows. MOVIES AND SERIES Posters, genres and search. Series are grouped by season and episode. Continue watching picks up where you left off, and My List keeps the things you meant to get back to. SEARCH One search across channels, movies and series, with the live results kept apart from the on demand ones. PICTURE IN PICTURE AND AIRPLAY HLS and MP4 streams play in Picture in Picture and send picture and sound to Apple TV over AirPlay. Streams that need the fallback engine, which is MPEG TS, MKV, RTMP and the other formats AVFoundation cannot open at all, play inside the app, and there AirPlay carries the sound only. PROFILES Profiles live on the device, each with its own My List, continue watching and recents. Nothing is uploaded and there is no account to make. FOR LATE EVENINGS A sleep timer that stops playback after 15 to 120 minutes. A PIN lock on the app. Dark and light with four accent colours, and a layout built for both iPhone and iPad. FREE • one playlist • live TV with categories and favourites • search • one profile SNPLAYER PRO • unlimited playlists • the full TV guide • movies and series, with My List and continue watching • profiles • Picture in Picture • AirPlay • sleep timer • PIN lock Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription, or a one time lifetime purchase. Prices are set by the App Store for your country and are shown in the app before you buy anything, so see in-app for the current price in your currency. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. A subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and it can be managed or cancelled in Settings, Apple Account, Subscriptions. The lifetime purchase is paid once and does not renew. Anyone who already bought Pro in an earlier version keeps it. SNPlayer is a media player. We do not provide, host or distribute any TV channels, streams or media content, and there is nothing to watch in the app until you add a playlist you obtained legally yourself.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SNPlayer at 5.0 against DaddyTV's 4.0. SNPlayer also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). DaddyTV's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs weekly) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
