Tuna IPTV Player is a clean, fast IPTV client built for iPhones. Add any M3U playlist via URL — including Dropbox links — and start watching in seconds. Your channels are cached locally so the app launches instantly every time, even before the playlist finishes refreshing in the background. * Channel Browser Channels are organized exactly as your M3U defines them, with a category sidebar for fast navigation. A 4-column grid lets you scan hundreds of channels at a glance. Tap into any channel to start streaming immediately. * Search Find any channel across your entire playlist with the global search bar, or filter within the current category using in-category search. Your recent searches are saved so you can jump back to them quickly. * Favorites & Recents Mark any channel as a favorite with a single click — favorites appear at the top of the list and get their own dedicated category. A Recents category keeps track of everything you've watched, so you can always pick up where you left off. * EPG — Electronic Program Guide Connect an XMLTV EPG source to see what's on now and what's coming up next, directly on the channel cards. The guide refreshes automatically in the background so it's always up to date. * Playlist Management Add multiple M3U playlists and switch between them from the home screen. Refresh any playlist on demand to pick up the latest channels from your provider. The app preserves your last-watched channel and category and can resume automatically on launch. * Channel & Category Controls Hide channels or entire categories you don't use. Rename categories to match your preferences. Merge similar categories into one. Review and clean up duplicate channels with the built-in duplicate review tool. All changes are stored locally and survive playlist refreshes. * Sort Options Sort channels alphabetically, by most recently watched, or keep the original playlist order. Pin favorites to the top with a single toggle. * Single Stream Player Paste any direct stream URL from the Streams tab and play it instantly — no playlist needed. Tuna IPTV Player does not provide any content, channels, or subscriptions. You must supply your own M3U playlist URL from your IPTV provider.
