SoftIPTV is an M3U and Xtream player. It provides no content and sells none: everything you watch comes from the subscription you enter yourself. β€” HAND IT FROM PHONE TO TELEVISION Move what you are watching to another device in one tap. Playback stops on the phone and picks up on the television where it left off. Between your own devices. β€” WATCH TOGETHER Open a room, read out the six digits. When one person pauses, everybody pauses. Different homes, same scene. Everyone watches from their own subscription; the room shares the moment and the conversation, nothing else. β€” FOUR CHANNELS, ONE SCREEN The screen splits as you add channels. One carries the sound; the rest play muted. β€” GO BACK TO WHAT YOU MISSED If your provider keeps an archive, watch it back: pick the programme, jump fifteen minutes, or open yesterday at eight. β€” RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Start a film on the phone and carry on from the same frame on the television. β€” AND β€’ Your live TV, films and series in one app β€’ Programme guide, categories and search β€’ Favourites and watch history β€’ Parental lock β€’ Subtitles, with styling β€’ Offline downloads (Premium) β€’ Picture-in-picture β€’ Ten colour themes β€’ iPhone, iPad and Mac β€’ Full navigation with the arrow keys β€” PREMIUM Watch-together, offline downloads, unlimited devices, no adverts and seven more themes. Available as a recurring subscription or as a one-time lifetime purchase; both are managed from your store account. SoftIPTV is a player and is not responsible for the source, accuracy or legality of what is played. Stay away from unlicensed streams: using sources that distribute broadcasts without permission may be a criminal offence where you live, and any responsibility that arises is the user's alone. Use only lists you have paid for, from a lawful provider.
