Asiima TV is a fast, private media player for your own IPTV sources. Add your playlists and connections and enjoy them in a clean, modern interface across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. No account to create, no ads, and nothing to set up beyond your own source. One purchase covers iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. GETTING STARTED 1. Add your source — Xtream Codes, Stalker Portal, or an M3U / M3U8 playlist URL. 2. Choose your languages and the categories you actually watch. 3. Start watching — your home screen is built around what you picked. BRING YOUR OWN SOURCES • Xtream Codes — connect with your username and password • Stalker Portal — connect with your portal URL and MAC address • M3U / M3U8 playlists — add a playlist URL FEATURES • Live — browse live channels and radio by category; the program guide shows what's on now and next, when available from your provider • On-Demand — movies and shows with artwork, descriptions, and metadata as provided by your content source; series organized by season and episode • Downloads — save a movie, an episode, or a whole season for offline viewing, with independent resume and retry per item • Subtitles & Audio — when your stream includes subtitle or multiple audio tracks, choose the language right in the player • Continue Watching — pick up where you left off; with iCloud on, progress follows you across your devices • Multi-Connection — add and switch between multiple connections, each with its own catalog, history, and collection • iCloud Sync — your watch progress, My Collection, and preferences sync across Apple TV, iPhone, iPad, and Mac; your connections sync across iPhone, iPad, and Mac (on Apple TV you re-enter their credentials) • My Collection — save your favorites for quick access • Mini player & Picture-in-Picture — keep watching in a floating mini player while you browse; on iPhone, iPad, and Mac, playback continues in system Picture-in-Picture when you leave the app • Search — search within Live and On-Demand without leaving the screen • Parental Controls — adult-flagged content is classified during import and discarded, never stored or shown (best-effort, based on how your provider labels its content). To lock the app itself, use Apple's built-in controls: Face ID or Touch ID to open it (iPhone, iPad), Screen Time (Mac), or a passcode in Settings (Apple TV). PRIVATE BY DESIGN • No ads, no ad tracking, and we never sell your data. • We don't collect what you watch, and your streams never pass through our servers. • Your source credentials stay in your own iCloud Keychain — we never see them. • Anonymous crash & performance diagnostics only — and you can turn them off in Settings. PLAYER ONLY — YOU BRING THE CONTENT Asiima TV is a media player. It does not host, provide, or include any channels, movies, or streams, and ships with no content. You add your own sources, and all content comes directly from the third-party providers you choose. We condemn piracy — Asiima TV is built for legally obtained content only. SUBSCRIPTIONS Full access is available via Monthly or Yearly subscriptions, or a one-time Lifetime purchase. The Yearly plan includes a 1-month free trial for new subscribers. Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store settings.

About

IPTVS

Features
Read full description

IPTVS is a general-purpose media player and organizer for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. IPTVS does not provide, sell, curate or grant access to any channel, playable catalog, media service, playlist, subscription or provider account. The app contains no preset playback endpoints. It plays only titles and streams from sources that a user manually enters and is authorized to use. BRING YOUR OWN AUTHORIZED SOURCE Connect one or more M3U/M3U8 playlists or Xtream-compatible servers that you have the legal right to access. The source chosen by the user supplies all channels, playable movie and series titles, guide data and streams. IPTVS does not select, broker or resell that material. ORGANIZE SOURCE METADATA Create separate lists for channels, movies and series. Pin useful categories, hide others and prioritize the regions that matter to you. Search the metadata supplied by your connected sources and see a clear source label on each item. Movie and series discovery can use public metadata and rankings from TMDB to show views such as Trending, Popular, Top rated, regional Now playing and On the air. These views contain only titles safely matched to a playable movie or series already present in your own sources. TMDB does not provide streams or unlock any title. The local catalog index and TMDB cache contain metadata only. They do not store media, credentials or private playback URLs. GUIDE AND PLAYBACK Browse now and next when your source supplies EPG information or you add an XMLTV URL. Replay is available only when the user's authorized Xtream source explicitly supports TV archive. IPTVS does not download or export media for offline use and does not provide file sharing. For compatibility with some source formats, the app may temporarily remux an active stream into short HLS fragments served only to the local player over the device loopback interface. These temporary playback fragments are not exposed to the user and are removed when playback ends. SYNC YOUR SETUP When iCloud Sync is active on devices using the same Apple Account, IPTVS can keep source setup, favorites, custom lists, movie and episode progress, preferred regions, subtitle language and selected settings in step. Credentials are stored with Apple Keychain where supported and with encrypted fields in the user's private iCloud database for cross-device access. Private playback URLs and credentials are not stored in watch history. FREE TO DOWNLOAD After a user adds an authorized source, IPTVS currently applies no daily playback limits. Use as much as you want. Feel free to support the development with optional Premium. No media, stream or provider access is included with either tier. The app contains no third-party advertising SDK. Only connect sources and play material that you have permission to use. Terms of Use (Apple Standard EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
