Your playlist and provider login stay on your device. Two playback engines, so a stream that stalls in one still plays in the other. Pause, rewind and catch up, free.
PixelPlay is a native iPhone and iPad player for IPTV streams. Bring your own M3U or Xtream playlist, or start from a free catalog of legal public channels. No ads. No tracking.
PixelPlay runs two playback engines. AVPlayer handles HLS, MPEG-TS and MP4, and when it refuses a stream, VLCKit takes it, so a source that stalls in one still plays in the other. Cast to a Chromecast device or AirPlay to an Apple TV. Pinch to switch between fit and fill. Background audio works the way iOS users expect.
WHAT YOU GET FREE
- Core playback for HLS, MPEG-TS, and MP4 streams
- Pause and rewind live TV, or start the current program over
- Catch-up: scroll back through a channel's guide and play what already aired, where your provider offers it
- One content source of any type: M3U URL, M3U file, Xtream Codes API, or the free Public Catalog
- Favorites and Recents
- Spotlight search: channels you have played are indexed into iOS system search
- Chromecast (Google Cast) and AirPlay
- Optional Sign in with Apple or Google to sync favorites across devices
- Pinch-to-zoom on the player (fit and fill)
WHAT PIXELPLAY PRO ADDS
PixelPlay Pro unlocks everything below. Buy it once and keep it for good, or subscribe yearly if you would rather try it first.
- Multi-View: watch up to 4 streams at once on iPhone or iPad
- Picture-in-Picture: keep watching while you use another app
- Channel Lock and Category Lock: secured by Face ID, Touch ID, or a PIN
- Advanced TV Guide: full EPG grid across time and channels
- Unlimited content sources: separate playlists for sports, news, and kids
PRIVACY
PixelPlay does not show ads and does not track you across apps or websites. The privacy manifest declares NSPrivacyTracking as false. Anonymous analytics and an optional email address you provide when signing in are the only data the app handles, and analytics is not linked to your identity. Your playlists and stream URLs stay on your device.
DESIGNED FOR iOS
PixelPlay is built with SwiftUI, StoreKit 2, SwiftData, and AVKit. It is not a port of a cross-platform shell. That is why Spotlight search, Face ID locks, AirPlay, Picture-in-Picture, and native iOS gestures behave the way they do in Apple's own apps.
PURCHASES, RESTORES, AND REFUNDS
Buy Pro once and it stays yours, with nothing to cancel. The yearly plan starts with a three-day free trial, then renews each year until you cancel it in Settings. Restore Purchase, on the paywall or in Settings, brings Pro back on any device signed in to the same Apple ID. Refunds go through Apple at reportaproblem.apple.com.
IMPORTANT: WHAT PIXELPLAY IS AND IS NOT
PixelPlay is a media player. It does not provide, host, sell, resell, or rebroadcast any TV channels, films, or other media. Content is loaded from playlists and stream URLs that you
supply, or from the optional free Public Catalog of openly published legal streams. You are responsible for ensuring that the content you load is lawful in your region and that you have the right to view it. PixelPlay has no affiliation with the providers of any third-party playlist or stream.

Wasn’t expecting much when I downloaded this because most IPTV apps are basically the same, but this one actually feels well thought out. It’s fast, simple, and doesn’t overwhelm you with settings. EPG worked better than expected and video playback has been stable for me. There are still a few things I’d love to see added, but the foundation is really solid.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for the thoughtful review! It's great to hear PixelPlay was able to replace your previous IPTV app. I put a lot of focus on making the experience simple, responsive, and reliable, so it's encouraging to hear that came across. I also appreciate the note about future features — there's definitely more planned. Thanks again for the support and feedback!
Clean app that just works
santoshtewari
What I liked most is that I didn’t have to “figure it out.” Simply added my source, things loaded quickly, and I was watching in a couple of minutes. The app runs smoother than some of the bigger IPTV apps I’ve used. Hoping the developer keeps improving it because this feels promising.

Finally, an IPTV Player Done Right

Clean design, smooth playback, and very easy to use. Setup took only a couple of minutes, and everything worked exactly as expected. It’s refreshing to see a newly launched IPTV player that focuses on a simple and polished user experience. Looking forward to future updates!

Akku1020
Really happy with this app. The setup was simple and everything works smoothly. The interface is clean and easy to use, and streaming quality is very good. I like that it feels fast and doesn't make things complicated. Great app for anyone looking for a reliable IPTV player. Keep up the good work!
Developer Response
Thank you for the kind review! I'm really glad to hear that the app has been working smoothly for you. Keeping PixelPlay fast, simple, and reliable has been one of the main goals from day one, so it's great to know that comes through in the experience. I truly appreciate the support and encouragement. More improvements are on the way!
- Picture in Picture now has a button in the player. Before, the only way in was leaving the app.
- Screen Mirroring now fills the TV at its own resolution, and the controls stay on your phone.
- The player says what it is doing while it reconnects, instead of showing one spinner.
- The TV Guide opens on what is airing now, and short programs are big enough to tap.
- Category screens have a search field, and say how many channels are on screen. Before, a large category gave you every row and a scroll bar.
- The Home hero names the channel it is offering, at every text size.
- Browse has an A to Z index and section headers for long playlists.
- Channel logos load faster and Browse scrolls smoother.
