Verdict

The call

Lit IPTV Player and IPTV both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of IPTV's written reviews are positive against 40% of Lit IPTV Player's. IPTV also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (389 vs 31). Lit IPTV Player's advantage is device support (5 vs 3). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lit IPTV Player holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV has 389 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Lit IPTV Player's written reviews are positive against 90% of IPTV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lit IPTV Player ships an update every 4 days, IPTV weekly. Both last shipped on November 15, 2026.
