APTV is a multi-platform app for playing live TV streams from m3u/m3u8 playlists across iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS, macOS, and visionOS. It supports channel catch-up playback, program guides, iCloud sync, and CarPlay.

Use cases

  • play m3u8 live tv streams on iphone
  • watch iptv channels on apple tv
  • playback missed tv programs from m3u source
  • sync iptv playlists across apple devices via icloud
  • watch live tv in the car with carplay
  • manage m3u playlist channels with favorites and epg

When to choose

  • you are on apple devices and want a polished m3u8/iptv player
  • you need catch-up playback, EPG, and iCloud sync in one app
  • you want CarPlay or watchOS live TV support

When to avoid

  • you need an open-source player or self-hosted solution (the App Store app is closed-source)
  • you are on Android, Windows, or Linux
  • you need DLNA casting or advanced playlist aggregation (still planned)
