Your favourite TV channels, movies, and series. All in one place, playing beautifully.
UHF is a smart, modern IPTV player made by people who actually care about how software feels. Whether you use M3U8, Xtream, Plex, Jellyfin, or Emby playlists, UHF turns your streams into a clean, super-smooth Apple TV experience that feels just like a premium streaming service.
And because we put our users first, we don’t lock the essentials behind a paywall. You get all our core playback and content tools completely free. No tricks, no nonsense. Here’s what you get for free:
- Search everything, instantly: Find that live channel, movie, or series across all your playlists in seconds. Handy colour-coding shows you exactly where each stream lives at a glance.
- A TV guide built for touchscreens: Forget clunky, old-school grids. We designed our EPG (Electronic Program Guide) from scratch so swiping through schedules feels fast, responsive, and natural.
- Never miss a moment: Jump back in time with silky-smooth catch-up support, or pop your video into a smaller, resizable Picture-in-Picture window so you can watch while texting or browsing other apps.
- Downloads: Download your content locally to watch offline.
- Cast to the big screen: Beam your stream straight to your TV with full AirPlay and Chromecast support. While many other IPTV apps charge extra for casting, or struggle to keep the connection stable, UHF gives you rock-solid, seamless big-screen streaming out of the box at zero cost.
- Stream securely with a built-in VPN: Protect your privacy and avoid ISP throttling without ever leaving the app. Our built-in VPN client connects effortlessly to all major VPN providers using WireGuard or OpenVPN protocols, so you can secure your stream with just a tap.
- Track what you watch: Connect your Trakt account to log watched episodes, rate movies, and check your watchlist right from the UHF home screen.
- Your library, your rules: Mark favourites, rename channels, reorder categories, or lock specific folders behind a PIN code to keep things tidy and kid-friendly.
- Record live TV with your own home server: Take full control of your recordings with UHF Server. Run our free companion app on any Mac, Windows, or Linux machine on your local network, and schedule recordings straight from your phone.
- Watch your way: 4K HDR, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos support, seamless OpenSubtitles.com integration and more.
- No Wi-Fi drops, no worries: If your connection stutters, you don't need to reload the player. UHF quietly handles common playback errors and reconnects automatically.
Want to go PRO? UHF is free to use, but if you want to supercharge your setup (and support our little team while we build new features), we offer an optional PRO plan:
- Magic multi-device sync: Start watching on your iPhone, pick up on your iPad. Your playlists, recent views, and favourites update everywhere, instantly. It feels like magic.
- Zero ads and watermarks: Pure, uninterrupted viewing.
- Unlimited TV guide & alerts: Scroll as far ahead in the schedule as you like, and set alerts so you never miss a kickoff or a season premiere.

Looking for easy access to channels on Home Screen

Still app UI is not easy accessible for channels and playlist
No instructions
Mr farqhuar
Sync- what does it do ? Backups? To where ? The clod ? The device ? Most of us don’t understand the app. Theres a whole Reddit community that don’t understand some of the features, why ? Because theres no instructions on what does what- i have accidentally deleted my playlist 4 times now from ios and tvos. We really need some clarification, the help section is minimal. Also the recording- we have to have a server , how do we so that ? I shouldn’t have to ask Grok to help , the appIs really good, but these things let it down-can we get recording to a local network drive , like SMB perhaps ? Instead of needing a pc or raspberry pi running ?
Developer Response
Asking Grok for help is like asking your toaster to prepare you a milk-shake, not a great idea. In the same what that recording into a SMB drive is not possible because as soon as you leave the app the recording would stop and also you wouldn't be able to schedule recordings. Precisely, version 1.88.0 includes a new onboarding flow that improves the DVR server experience.Regarding you deleting your playlists, I will think how to improve the "Delete" button and the "Delete playlist" prompt that ask whether you want to delete a playlist in one device or all of them. Certainly, I won't ask Grok.For any questions you can simply reach out to us on support@uhfapp.com
Very user-friendly
Jack Torrance
Definitely the most beautiful and user-friendly IPTV app with recording functionality for Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad. Although the app is still quite new and some features are still missing, it shows great potential. I'm looking forward to future updates!
Basic features still missing !
_tanmay_
I used it a year ago and felt it lacked some of the basic features I needed then. I decided to give it a try again now and it still has many basic things missing which is annoying. I have multiple playlists and I can’t change the order of playlists in the menu. It just does not allow you to change the order. Very basic thing but this app doesn’t have it.
- Downloads: We have reintroduced the Downloads functionality in a compliant way. This time, UHF no longer exposes its Documents directory in the system's Files app.
- DVR: Recordings now default to the TS stream whenever it is available for improved reliability.
- Xtream: Fixed an issue loading series details when certain attributes are missing.
- Performance and stability: We optimized overall performance and resolved several crashes for a smoother experience.
