Athena Player IPTV vs Showries

Athena Player includes NO channels, NO movies, NO series and NO other media. Nothing is bundled with the app, and we neither host nor offer any content of our own. It is a player. You bring the M3U URL or Xtream Codes login from the provider you already pay, and Athena Player plays it on your iPhone, iPad and other devices with a fast, beautiful, distraction-free interface. BUILT FOR GREAT PLAYBACK Athena Player is engineered for smooth, high-quality streaming. It uses hardware-accelerated video for crisp, fluid playback (up to 4K where your device and source allow), fast channel switching, and an interface that stays out of your way. A rich EPG, instant search and Continue Watching make it effortless to find and resume what you were watching. A buffering indicator keeps you informed while a stream loads, and subtitle and audio-track selection are built in. ONE PLAYER, EVERY SCREEN Your account, favorites and playback progress sync across all your devices, so you can start on iPhone and pick up on iPad or Mac exactly where you left off. Cast to your TV with Chromecast, or hand a stream off to an external player when you prefer. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED Athena Player requires a paid subscription to use. New users get a 7-day free trial; after the trial, continued access to the app and all of its features requires an auto-renewable subscription — Standard, Premium or Premium+, billed monthly or yearly — or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Titles, subscription length and prices are shown in the app before you buy. Auto-renewable subscriptions renew automatically at the same price unless auto-renewal is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID Account Settings after purchase.

Everything you watch. In one place. Your personal diary for TV shows and films: fast to update, beautiful to explore, made for people who take the couch seriously. Start tracking straight away — no account required. Link Apple, Google or an email later, and everything follows you to your other devices. ONE TAP. LOGGED. Mark an episode the moment it ends. The shutter snaps, Up Next moves on, and you always know where you left off. Track shows and films as watched, watching, planned or dropped, episode by episode — with a complete history of everything you have seen. THE AFTER-WATCH IS A RITUAL Rate shows, seasons and episodes. Write a review while it is still fresh, add a reaction, or join the conversation with a comment and a GIF. Spoiler protection keeps reviews and comments hidden until you are ready. Reaction percentages appear only once enough people have voted, so no single opinion sets the tone. Follow people, see what they are watching, like their activity and reply to the conversation. SHARING, DONE PROPERLY This is where Showries shines. Every opinion becomes something worth posting. Turn reviews, comments, reactions, predictions and winners into polished visual content: 9:16 stories for Instagram and TikTok, animated GIF comments, review carousels, quote cards and event results. Write the quote your way: pick the part that matters, set words in bold or italic, choose the size and watch the story change as you type. Too much to say? Showries splits it into numbered stories, ready to post in order — or saves them all to your photos at once. YOUR YEAR, TOLD PROPERLY See how much you have watched, what is still waiting, what you rewatched and which platforms you actually use. Explore your diary, monthly summaries, statistics and a year-end Wrapped made to share. AWARDS NIGHT, LIVE Follow the Oscars, Emmys, BAFTA, Golden Globes, Critics Choice, Cannes, Venice and more. See the nominees connected to your library, discover which films and people you have already watched, and follow the winners live. Live Activities bring the ceremony to your Lock Screen with live progress and the latest winners — follow the night without opening the app, and get a notification when a title you have watched wins. MAKE YOUR PREDICTIONS Think you know who will win? Choose your favourites before the ceremony starts. Predictions lock when the event begins, and once the winners are in, Showries tells you how many you got right — ready to share as a scorecard. VERIFIED VOICES Critics, press, creators, industry professionals, festivals and official organisations can request a verified seal, reviewed by a human. Verified members are recognised by their category, carry their affiliation next to their name, and can write about eligible titles before release. EVERYTHING ELSE - Notifications that matter: followers, prediction results, medals, seal decisions and releases from the shows you follow - Home Screen widget for Up Next; Lock Screen widgets for upcoming releases and ceremonies - Mark an episode as watched straight from a widget - Release calendar, countdowns and reminders - Streaming availability by country - Filming locations - Custom lists for every kind of watchlist - Cast, crew, trailers and similar titles - Soundtracks with audio previews - Medals and achievements - Import from TV Time, Trakt and Letterboxd - Automatic matching through TMDB, with manual correction - Works offline and syncs when you are back - English, Italian, Spanish, French, German, Brazilian Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese - Made for iPhone and iPad YOURS, AND PRIVATE No advertising, no advertising SDKs, nothing sold to anyone.
