Your subscription is fine. The app it came with isn't. Thousands of channels arrive in whatever order your provider chose, search barely works, and the film you stopped halfway through is gone for good. Plora fixes exactly that: it moves the subscription you already pay for into a player that is fast, organised, and remembers you. BRING YOUR OWN SOURCE Plora provides no content, sells no content, and hosts no streams. What you watch is your decision. Add your Xtream Codes account or an M3U playlist URL, or open local video files stored on your device. PUT IT IN ORDER Browse channels, movies and series by category. Hide the categories you never open and cut the list down to what you actually watch. FIND IT FAST One search across channels, movies and series, with results as you type. PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF Reopen a half-watched film and it resumes from the exact spot. Your recently watched channels sit on the home screen, one tap away. A SERIOUS PLAYER A VLC-based engine plays streams other apps choke on. Subtitle and audio track selection, playback speed, 10-second skip, sleep timer, mini player and background audio. FAVOURITES Star what you watch most and keep it on the home screen. PLORA PRO The free version lets you browse and watch your channels and keep a limited number of favourites. Pro unlocks: โข Unlimited sources and instant switching between them โข Resume playback and watch history โข Advanced player: subtitle and audio track selection โข Sleep timer and playback speed control โข Unlimited favourites The yearly plan includes a 1-week free trial.
