Hello!

Last year I've been working on my indie project called IPTV - Streams. After some years in the field, I've tried to put everything I've got into my own app. It's an IPTV app, but it has an emphasis on let you watch your favorites content. So, you can add your playlists and start watching while everything will be synced through iCloud.

App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/iptv-streams/id1492179924

For more info: https://andremartingo.github.io/iptv-streams/

It should feel right at home on iOS, as I always stick to Apple's human interface guidelines for design and UX. My goal is to keep growing the app to really take advantage of Apple's platform. It has some other things I'm proud of as well that help it stand out:

  • Fully built on iCloud (or CloudKit for any developers reading). No account creation, syncs everywhere.
  • Share your playlist (also built on iCloud/CloudKit)
  • Aesthetic Design
  • We support m3u8, mp4, mkv, mpv, 3gp, ts and much more.
  • Context menu with quick actions
  • Dark Mode support
  • Search your entire cloud and local library.
  • Universal too, so one purchase gets you both iPhone and iPad support
  • and quite a bit more

I'd love any feedback or thoughts on it, it releases Thursday. My vision is to keep building it up and make it available on every single Apple platform (iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS and macOS). Thanks for checking it out!

Some common questions:

How is this different from the other iptv apps?

IPTV-Streams has an emphasis on keeping you very close to your content. It should not take more than 2 clicks since you open the app and start watching your favorite channel across any Apple Device.

Most apps will have a complex import system or even missing some important extensions like .ts (one of the most common extensions nowadays) .

I would not compare this app design with any other in the store ;)

Plus, it's the sole focus is iOS and Apple's platforms, which means I'll always ensure it keeps best in class design and platform features integrated.

What kind of playlist would I be able to watch?

Beta testers have made all sorts of streams. Most common:

- M3U8 Some of our beloved beta testers used the app to watch their favorites movies or tv shows

- TS Some used to watch live channels like (news, sports, tech)

- And my favorite example recently, laying down and relax watching some cartoons with their kids.

- etc...

I'll be checking this post out all day, if there are any questions at all I could answer I'd be more than happy to.

Thanks!

Looks nice.

But needs a “List view” not just grid because longer channel names are not visible in grid.

One feature that I can’t seem to find on any IPTV platforms is support on the iPad for the picturepane mode where I can be using another app and have the video still playing in a large thumbnail on tap. Maybe you could add this feature or if someone could subset an app and pm me would be amazing don’t want to take over the post.

Nice - looking forward to try! I have always stuck with mag emulators because I prefer the interface and haven’t found a playlist app I have liked yet.
