Lazy IPTV: status and alternatives

Lazy IPTV was a favourite playlist manager on Android. If you are looking for it today, here is what changed and what to use instead.

Quick answer

LazyIPTV Deluxe, the Android playlist and TV-guide manager by LC-Soft, was removed from Google Play in September 2023. If it’s still installed it may keep working, but it no longer gets updates from the store. For a maintained alternative, use TiviMate on Android TV and Fire TV, or IPTV Smarters Pro on phones and tablets. Both work with the IPTVMaple login.

What Lazy IPTV did

Lazy IPTV was a manager for playlists and TV guides rather than a full-screen player. Users liked it because it could:

  • hold several M3U playlists and XMLTV/JTV guides in one place;
  • open streams in its own player or in an external player such as VLC or MX Player;
  • sync playlists across devices through Google Drive or Dropbox;
  • show catch-up archives where the provider supported them;
  • switch between a phone layout and a TV layout.

Should you keep using it?

Apps that leave Google Play stop receiving updates there. Over time that can mean crashes on new Android versions, and copies offered on third-party sites may be modified. We don’t recommend installing it from unofficial APK sites. If your existing install still works, it will keep playing our M3U link, but plan a switch.
