UHF - Love your IPTV
IPTV & Media Center
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
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.
- 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.

more - Multiple media sources: When a Jellyfin, Emby or Plex item offers several files, UHF now asks which one to play before playback starts. A new Player setting lets you auto-select the first available file instead.
- VPN: Mullvad, NordVPN, Surfshark and Windscribe server lists are now loaded from each provider's own public API, so stale servers no longer produce tunnels that connect but carry no traffic. AngelVPN users can use the PureVPN provider in the list using their OpenVPN credentials.
- DVR: Stability improvements when using the recordings functionality alongside the most recent server version.
- Performance and stability: Home no longer refreshes the hero or triggers a sync while you are on another screen, the Logs screen now loads faster, and we fixed several crashes.
