Our verdict

iMPlayer: good

iMPlayer is a modern IPTV player with an interface you can adjust a lot. You get a full TV guide, catch-up and films and series on Android TV as well as iPhone and iPad. That makes it handy if you use different kinds of device at home.

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

What iMPlayer looks like

Channel information with the programme guide in iMPlayer

On the App Store, the developer describes iMPlayer as a player for M3U files and compatible platforms, with catch-up, films and series, a full TV guide and a customisable interface. The Android version is on Google Play. The download is free; any charge for extra features is shown in the app.

A player you set up yourself

iMPlayer stands out for its many settings: you shape the interface around how you watch. That's good if you watch a lot and want to decide exactly what you see.

It can be a lot for beginners, so start with the default settings.

Handy across different devices

Because iMPlayer runs on Android TV and on iPhone and iPad, you can use the same app on your TV and your phone. That saves getting used to two apps.

There is no version for Samsung, LG or Apple TV, so for those you need another app.
