What's the Best App for IPTV on iPhone?

Smarters Player Lite, the Apple version of the Smarters player, is the easiest choice: free in the App Store, with Xtream Codes login, live TV, movies, series and a TV guide. Other App Store players that accept Xtream Codes or M3U links work too. iOS only installs apps from the App Store, so avoid any site offering an IPTV app "for iPhone" outside it.

  • Free player apps in the App Store
  • Same login as your TV
  • Works on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV
