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.

YPlayer
Read full descriptionHide full description
YPlayer is a media player for the playlist you already have. It ships empty. There are no channels, no films and no series inside it, and no default playlist. Everything you see comes from the legal M3U link or Xtream Codes account you enter yourself, from a provider you already subscribe to. WHY IT PLAYS WHAT OTHERS WON'T Most players ship a single playback engine and give up when a format is unfamiliar. YPlayer carries two and moves between them on its own, so MKV, AC-3, DTS, HEVC and TS files play alongside ordinary HLS and MP4 streams. WHAT YOU GET • Two playback engines that switch automatically when a stream misbehaves • A TV guide with now-playing titles and a live progress bar • Parental controls — adult categories are hidden until you set a PIN • A separate profile for each playlist, so providers never mix • Resume where you stopped, favourites, Picture in Picture and AirPlay • Search across your films, series and channels at once YOUR DATA STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE There is no account and no analytics of our own. Playlists, watch history and credentials never leave your iPhone; Xtream passwords are held in the iOS Keychain. PREMIUM Premium removes ads. Without it, playback begins after a single rewarded ad, and if that ad cannot load the app lets you straight through rather than making you wait. Premium is an auto-renewable subscription offered weekly, monthly or yearly; payment is charged to your Apple Account and renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings. YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT YOU ADD We have no relationship with any provider and supply no content of any kind. You are responsible for adding only legal sources, and for holding the rights or a valid subscription to view them. Do not use YPlayer with content you are not authorised to access.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Asiima TV at none against YPlayer's 3. Asiima TV also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). YPlayer's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.
