The Modern IPTV
Read full descriptionHide full description
Modern IPTV is a free player for the IPTV service you already subscribe to. It contains no channels, films or shows of its own, and there is nothing to buy in the app. WHAT YOU NEED BEFORE IT WILL PLAY ANYTHING An account with an IPTV provider. You get that from the provider, not from us. We do not sell, host, bundle or supply any channels, films, shows or playlists, and none come with the app. Without one, there is nothing for the app to play. The screenshots show the app signed in to our own demo service: its films are Blender Studio's open movies (Š Blender Foundation, CC BY, studio.blender.org), and everything else in it is invented. LIVE TV, DONE RIGHT ⢠A real guide: every channel you get with what's on now and next, hours ahead, on one screen ⢠Browse by category, keep favorites, and jump back to recent channels ⢠Search live shows by name and see when and where they air ⢠Reliable playback, even for streams that other players stumble on MOVIES AND SHOWS ⢠Artwork, cast, ratings and details, matched automatically to what your provider carries ⢠Up Next picks up right where you left off, on every device ⢠Seasons and episodes laid out so you can just press play ⢠Plays the formats providers actually use, including MKV ⢠Ask about any title and get an answer on your device from Apple Intelligence YOUR TEAMS ⢠Follow your teams across football, basketball, baseball, hockey and soccer, from major leagues to college and European competitions ⢠See who's playing, when, and which of your channels has the game ⢠Optional game reminders. Never marketing. EVERY APPLE DEVICE Free on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro. Sign in with Apple on one device and your login, favorites, teams and progress follow you through iCloud. Apple TV signs in by scanning a code with your iPhone, so there's nothing to type with the remote. Siri and Shortcuts can open your channels and shows. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads, no tracking, no analytics. Your provider login stays in your devices' Keychain and your own iCloud. We run no servers and never see what you watch.
