Athena Player includes NO channels, NO movies, NO series and NO other media. Nothing is bundled with the app, and we neither host nor offer any content of our own. It is a player. You bring the M3U URL or Xtream Codes login from the provider you already pay, and Athena Player plays it on your iPhone, iPad and other devices with a fast, beautiful, distraction-free interface. BUILT FOR GREAT PLAYBACK Athena Player is engineered for smooth, high-quality streaming. It uses hardware-accelerated video for crisp, fluid playback (up to 4K where your device and source allow), fast channel switching, and an interface that stays out of your way. A rich EPG, instant search and Continue Watching make it effortless to find and resume what you were watching. A buffering indicator keeps you informed while a stream loads, and subtitle and audio-track selection are built in. ONE PLAYER, EVERY SCREEN Your account, favorites and playback progress sync across all your devices, so you can start on iPhone and pick up on iPad or Mac exactly where you left off. Cast to your TV with Chromecast, or hand a stream off to an external player when you prefer. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Athena Player requires a paid subscription to use. New users get a 7-day free trial; after the trial, continued access to the app and all of its features requires an auto-renewable subscription โ€” Standard, Premium or Premium+, billed monthly or yearly โ€” or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Titles, subscription length and prices are shown in the app before you buy. Auto-renewable subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase.
