iPlayTV features worth knowing
- Playlist and Xtream support. You can load a link or log in with a server, username and password (Xtream explained).
- Apple devices first. It was built for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, so it feels native there. On Android and Firestick, TiviMate is usually the better choice.
- Favourites and channel groups. Hide channels you never watch so the list is short.
- TV guide. Add an XMLTV address if your subscription provides one.
