iPlayTV review 2026: pay once for Apple TV
iPlayTV is an IPTV player made only for Apple TV, and you pay for it once.

Our verdict
iPlayTV: good
iPlayTV is a neat, simple Apple TV app that you buy once instead of paying every month. You get a full TV guide, several playlists, catch-up with Xtream Codes, favourites and subtitles. If you want more luxury, IPTVX does more, but it works on a subscription.
iPlayTV is only a player: to watch TV you still need an IPTV subscription. Compare the providers in Best IPTV 2026.

What iPlayTV looks like
On the App Store it costs €6.99. You add playlists with a link, Xtream Codes or a file, and you get a full TV guide, search across all your playlists, favourites, a channel preview, several audio and subtitle tracks and catch-up through Xtream Codes.
Pay once, not every month
Many Apple TV apps now work on a subscription. You buy iPlayTV once, for €6.99 on the App Store. After that you only pay for your IPTV subscription.
App Store prices can change, so check the current price in the store.
iPlayTV or IPTVX?
IPTVX has more extras: Dolby Vision, multiscreen, Plex and iCloud sync. iPlayTV is simpler, but you pay only once. If you mostly watch live TV with a guide, iPlayTV is plenty.
Both work with Xtream Codes and M3U.
