Frequently asked questions
Can I use Smarters and TiviMate with the same account?
Yes. Just don't watch on both at the same time unless your plan allows multiple connections.
Is TiviMate Premium worth it?
If you use the extras—recording, multi-view, multiple playlists—yes. For simple viewing, the free version is fine.
Which is lighter on an older Firestick?
Both run on Firesticks; on very old models, Smarters can feel lighter with huge lists. Hiding unused categories helps either app.
