APTV is one of the fastest-growing IPTV players for Apple devices—US searches for "aptv" have jumped sharply this year. It's clean, fast, and works across iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

Install APTV

  1. Open the App Store on your iPhone, iPad or Apple TV.
  2. Search for APTV and confirm the developer before installing.
  3. Open the app.

APTV offers a free version, with optional premium features available inside the app. Check the App Store listing for current pricing.

Add your playlist

  1. Tap Add playlist (or the + button).
  2. Choose Xtream Codes and enter the server URL, username and password from our WhatsApp message.
  3. Or choose M3U and paste your playlist link.
  4. Save and wait for live TV, movies and the guide to load.

On Apple TV, your iPhone can act as the keyboard when a text field is selected—much faster than the Siri Remote.

Tips for the best experience

  • Favorites: add the channels you watch most so you don't scroll every time.
  • EPG: refresh the guide in settings if it looks empty. See EPG fixes.
  • Apple TV + Ethernet: the most reliable setup for live sports.
  • Match frame rate in Apple TV settings for smoother motion.
