Watching TV shouldn't feel like work. Most IPTV apps I tried were mazes of menus, so I built Yagi: open it, pick a channel, watch. Add the Xtream login or M3U link from your IPTV provider once, and you get live TV, movies and shows, with the TV guide right beside the picture. Yagi brings no channels of its own. It's the player, made to stay out of your way. โ€ข Pause and rewind live TV โ€ข Favorites, reminders and search โ€ข Syncs across iPhone, iPad and Mac through iCloud โ€ข Downloads, AirPlay and Picture in Picture โ€ข No data collected, ever Free for your first month. After that, a subscription keeps Yagi going. Disclaimer: The developer does not provide, include, supply, or host any live TV channels, movies, or TV shows whatsoever. You are solely responsible for acquiring all playlists through legitimate sources and ensuring full compliance with applicable copyright and licensing laws. Privacy Policy: Yagi does not collect any data.
