IPTVX

The video start playing quickly, and th eoverall interface is the most intuitive of the offerings in the app store. The only problems I have are that the main screen is very slow, and unresponsive when selecting a playlisst, and the parental controls only prevent watching the content, but it does not hide the channel list. If you assigne parental controls on a channel, it should require the pin the view the EPG too. Finally, it needs a couple features added to make this perfect. 1) Provide ability to auto-select a playlist on launch. 2) Allow background update of playlist, relying on the localy cached content to enter the playlist immediately, to make the app instantly responsive. 3) Remove the purchase menu item once a purchase is activated. 4) Allow selecting a default channel for the guide. I don't want to see all the adult channels added to the playlist when I enter the guide. this goes back to adult controls. 5) Fast playlist switching. I use an m3u editor to create personal playlists for each member of the family. This enables us to filter out content we dont' want, and to track favorites and watch history seperately. Fast playlist switching could be achieved with the back-group update option by not having to waith for loading screen to initialize, and then the playlist to update.

This is a great app. The interface looks “familiar” of another very popular app if you get my drift . Wink wink… Dear developers: can you show me how to change the EPG on tvOS to where the channel in the preview windows remains on the channel you were on when you pull up the guide? I have tried adjusting settings and can’t figure it out. I either get no preview window at all … OR the preview window will change the channel to whatever channel I have highlighted on the guide. My OCD really hates this. When I had cable, the EPG would keep the preview locked on the channel were originally on. Please help! Other than this quirk , this is a great app. Even if I am not nuts about the “subscription” aka app as a service and not a good model. I just bought a one month subscription but I’ll probably end up going lifetime on the Apple TV… but I love being able to add playlists on the phone app and the tv app just auto updating. Much easier to use.

Looking at the Basic vs Premium comparison, you’d think that you have to wait a few seconds on every channel change for the watermark to disappear. In reality, you cannot watch a channel for more than 1-2 minutes without the in-app-purchase pop-up, which you cannot close without closing out of the channel. And then you can click and watch the channel again for 2 more minutes before repeating the same process again. IMO, this renders the app useless. Shame, since I liked the app and its organization. I don’t know if this a bug in this version, because I honestly cannot envision anyone using the basic version with this limitation. The premium version which is a periodic subscription, is too expensive for an IPTV app(a hefty percentage of what I’m paying for the actual service). My final bone of contention is with the advertising/App description. I would not have wasted my time and effort if I had known this limitation with the basic version. Will stick with my GSE player for the time being.
