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. Full pricing is shown in the app. Terms of Use (EULA): https://asiima.com/tv/terms/ Privacy Policy: https://asiima.com/tv/privacy/
Cobi Player
Read full descriptionHide full description
Cobi Player is a fast, native player for YOUR OWN IPTV or M3U service, on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. It contains no channels, streams or other content and sells no IPTV subscriptions: you connect your own service with an Xtream Codes login or an M3U playlist. WHY COBI PLAYER Built because other players are slow and cannot sort by country. Cobi Player loads categories on demand instead of tens of thousands of entries at once, so even huge lists open instantly: countries first, then categories, then channels. And when a stream stalls, the player notices and reconnects by itself. NEW IN 1.4 - A new layout: tabs on iPhone, a sidebar on iPad, and Home with Continue Watching - Now on the Mac too: a real Mac app, free to watch and without ads, and your Pro works there - The next episode starts by itself after a short countdown - Film and series pages with a large picture, cast & crew and more from the same category - Program times that match what is on air, even when a provider's are hours off - Your own look (Pro), and Scenes: picture themes for your lists EVERYTHING INSIDE - Xtream Codes login: live TV, movies, series, the program guide (EPG) and catch-up - M3U playlist: live channels, from a URL or a file - Sorted by country, with search across sections, countries and categories - Live TV with now and next, catch-up and timeshift - or the running show from its start - Movies and series with posters, ratings, plot, trailers and resume - Choose the audio and subtitle track while you watch - Picture in Picture and background audio - Several profiles for several accounts - Move your account to your Apple TV or Mac with an 8-digit code instead of typing it again - 15 languages, switchable in the app - A free preview with openly licensed demo streams, no account needed FREE TO WATCH Everything for watching is free on iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, with no time limit: live TV, movies, series, the guide, catch-up, search, resume, profiles, favorites and the audio or subtitle track. On iPhone and iPad the free version shows ads. COBI PLAYER PRO - Favorites in folders - channels, movies and series together - Lists your way - hide the countries, categories and channels you never watch, pin the ones you love - Player extras - sleep timer, speed 0.5x-2x, audio and subtitle fine-tuning - Device sync - favorites, folders, history, resume points, lists and settings, through your own iCloud - Your own look - six color themes, dark, light or automatic, backgrounds, fonts and a matching app icon - No ads - and much more Choose a yearly subscription or a one-time purchase: the same Pro either way, for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV, no account needed. New subscribers get the yearly's first week free. If Pro ends, folders, lists and your look are switched off, not deleted, and come back with Pro. Scenes - Nebula, Retro TV, Aurora and Stadium - are one-time purchases of their own, with or without Pro and cheaper with it. A scene you bought stays yours. The yearly subscription renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends - the free week too; manage it in your Apple Account settings. Pro unlocks app features only, no content. PRIVACY No account and no analytics of our own, and you decide whether ads may be personalized. Your login stays in your device's Keychain and goes only to the server you set up. The sync runs through your own iCloud: we never see it, and it never carries your password. IMPORTANT Cobi Player is a player only. You need your own legal service from a third-party provider; the provider and the user alone are responsible for the content and its legality.
