Our verdict

GSE Smart IPTV: good

GSE Smart IPTV is one of the oldest IPTV apps for iPhone and iPad, and it still has a long list of features: recording, Chromecast, AirPlay, a TV guide, a parental lock and Xtream Codes. It costs €2.99 once. The catch is that the last update was in 2022 and the interface looks dated.

GSE Smart IPTV is only a player: to watch TV you still need an IPTV subscription. Compare the providers in Best IPTV 2026.

What GSE Smart IPTV looks like

On the App Store, GSE Technology lists live TV recording, Chromecast, Xtream Codes, playlist management through a web interface, a TV guide with a timeline, AirPlay to an external screen, a parental lock and automatic reconnecting. The app plays M3U and JSON playlists. It costs €2.99 as a one-off payment.

Watching on your TV with Chromecast or AirPlay

GSE doesn't run on Apple TV itself, but you can cast from your iPhone or iPad to your TV with Chromecast or AirPlay. Your phone then works as the remote control.

If you want an app that runs on Apple TV itself, look at IPTVX or iPlayTV.

Is it still worth buying?

For €2.99 you get a lot of features, including recording, which is rare on iPhone. But according to the App Store the last update came in November 2022, and the interface looks older than IPTVX or iMPlayer.

If you mainly want a simple, cheap app on your iPhone, GSE still does the job.
