About

The Modern IPTV

Read full description

Modern IPTV is a player for the IPTV service you already subscribe to. It contains no channels, films or shows of its own. WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE IT WILL PLAY ANYTHING 1. An account with an IPTV provider. You buy that from the provider, not from us. We do not sell, host, bundle or supply any channels, films, shows or playlists, and none come with the app. 2. A Modern IPTV membership, sold here as an in-app purchase. Free for your first year, then $1.00 per year (or the local equivalent). Without both of the above, there is nothing for the app to play. The screenshots show the app signed in to our own demo service: its films are Blender Studio's open movies (© Blender Foundation, CC BY, studio.blender.org), and everything else in it is invented. LIVE TV, DONE RIGHT • A real guide: every channel you get with what's on now and next, hours ahead, on one screen • Browse by category, keep favorites, and jump back to recent channels • Search live shows by name and see when and where they air • Reliable playback, even for streams that other players stumble on MOVIES AND SHOWS • Artwork, cast, ratings and details, matched automatically to what your provider carries • Up Next picks up right where you left off, on every device • Seasons and episodes laid out so you can just press play • Plays the formats providers actually use, including MKV • Ask about any title and get an answer on your device from Apple Intelligence YOUR TEAMS • Follow your teams across football, basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer, from major leagues to college and European competitions • See who's playing, when, and which of your channels has the game • Optional game reminders. Never marketing. EVERY APPLE DEVICE One membership works on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. Sign in with Apple on one device and your login, favorites, teams and progress follow you through iCloud. Apple TV signs in by scanning a code with your iPhone, so there's nothing to type with the remote. Siri and Shortcuts can open your channels and shows. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no tracking, no analytics. Your provider login stays in your devices' Keychain and your own iCloud. We run no servers and never see what you watch. ABOUT THE MEMBERSHIP The membership is what you buy from us, and it unlocks the app itself, not any content. It is free for your first year, then $1.00 per year. That dollar covers Apple's yearly developer fee, and it is the only reason there is a price at all. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when the free year ends. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store subscription settings; you keep access until the period ends.
