Yagi is the IPTV player built for Apple devices. Yagi is never the slowdown. Every stream plays as fast as your provider sends it. Everything you set up follows you from device to device. LIVE TV Buffering depends on your provider. Yagi adds no delay of its own. Pause live TV when life interrupts, rewind to see it again, and jump back to live with one tap. NOTHING IN YOUR WAY Live TV, movies and shows each in their own section, the guide right beside the picture, and no menus within menus. Yagi is a native app with Liquid Glass that feels like it came with the device. PICKS UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Start a movie on the Mac, finish it on the iPad. Favorites, playlist layout, reminders and settings sync through iCloud with nothing to configure. Hand a channel from your iPhone to your Mac with Handoff, or send it to the big screen with AirPlay. EVERYTHING YOU EXPECT, DONE WELL • With Xtream, Yagi loads the channels, movies, shows and TV guide. With M3U, it loads the live channels only, with no TV guide. • A TV guide with what's on now and next, and reminders that notify you before a program starts • Favorites for the channels and shows you come back to • Search across live channels, movies and series at once • Downloads for offline viewing of movies and episodes • Subtitles and multiple audio tracks, when your provider includes them • Rename channels and groups, hide what you don't watch, and keep your playlist the way you like it • Picture in Picture on every device • Live subscription details for Xtream accounts • Yagi reconnects on its own when a stream stalls, and shows you what it's doing • Playlists refresh themselves daily, so new channels just appear PRIVATE BY DESIGN Yagi collects no data.
