iMundo TV is a player for your own IPTV sources. Enter your Xtream credentials or load an M3U playlist — the app turns them into a tidy library of live TV, movies and series. Important: the app ships no channels, movies or playlists. You need your own account with an IPTV provider of your choice. YOUR SOURCES • Xtream Codes and M3U/M3U8 • Playlist as a URL or as a file from your device • Several providers side by side, switch any time • Your subscription's expiry date always in view ORGANISED YOUR WAY • Every folder opens as its own screen with its own search — instead of endless lists that only grow longer as you expand them • Top content: mark channels, movies and series with the crown — they all sit at the very top together, across every section • Your own favorite folders: group any channels you like and name the folders yourself • Drag channel, movie and series folders into your preferred order instead of alphabetical defaults • Select several folders and move them together — no more shuffling one by one • Folder icons recognised from the name: sports, news, kids, documentaries, 4K and more • Mark whole folders as favorites • Hide separator entries: dummy channels such as "### SPORT ###" that some providers use as headings simply disappear LIVE TV • Channels grouped into folders — each with a matching icon • What's on now sits right below the channel name, with a progress bar • A channel's full guide with a swipe • Recently watched channels MOVIES AND SERIES • Poster, synopsis, rating and runtime • Seasons and episodes • Resume at exactly the spot where you stopped — the button shows where you left off SEARCH THAT LANDS • One search field for channels, movies and series • Best matches first instead of alphabetical luck PLAYER • Two playback engines: what one cannot play, the other takes over • Automatic second attempt when a stream stalls • AirPlay and Picture in Picture • Controls that fade away on their own FOR THE FAMILY • Parental lock with a code: folders disappear completely — from lists, search, favorites and even when skipping channels in the player • Adult folders are recognised automatically if you want YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • No account, no ads, no tracking • Credentials stored in your iPhone's keychain • Favorites and sources optionally synced via iCloud PRICE Try it free for three days.
