Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ibo Pro Player at 4.8 against ST TV's 2.5. ibo Pro Player also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 4) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 5 weeks). ST TV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ibo Pro Player holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ibo Pro Player has 14K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ST TV's written reviews are positive against 48% of ibo Pro Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ST TV ships an update every 5 weeks, ibo Pro Player every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
