OTT Navigator review 2026: the most customisable IPTV app

OTT Navigator is the secret favourite among IPTV enthusiasts: an Android app where you can genuinely change everything, from the layout of the channel list to how the TV guide handles multiple sources.

No longer on Google Play: beware of fakes

The original OTT Navigator from Scillarium Studio has not been on Google Play since 2023; an app with the same name from a different maker is not the original. Only download the app from the developer's official page and avoid "premium unlocked" APKs.

Our verdict

OTT Navigator: very good

OTT Navigator is the app for anyone who wants to set everything up their own way: every list, button and guide view is adjustable and the free version is the most generous of all the apps. Against that, the app has disappeared from Google Play and the interface overwhelms you at first. For tweakers it's number one; if you want it simple, choose TiviMate.

What OTT Navigator looks like

Since the app was removed from Google Play, you download it as an APK via the official page of developer Scillarium Studio; you sort out premium with the separate OttNav Companion app. In this review you'll read what makes the app special, how to install it safely and whether premium is worth it.

The app for tweakers

Where other apps have one fixed layout, OTT Navigator lets you decide everything: how channels are grouped, what information the guide shows, what each button on your remote does and even how long previews keep playing. It merges multiple EPG sources smartly.

That freedom has a price: the settings menus are deep and the default view is busy. Allow an evening of trying things out before the app works exactly the way you want. After that, you won't want anything else.

Off Google Play: how to install the original

The original OTT Navigator from Scillarium Studio disappeared from Google Play in 2023. The developer has stayed active and distributes the app through its official page, with its own update channel in the app.

Watch out for two things. Google Play now has a different app with the same name from a different maker: that isn't the original. And APK sites offering "premium unlocked" versions distribute modified copies; on TV boxes that's a notorious source of malware. Only use the official download.

What does premium cost and do you need it?

The free version is the most generous of all the apps in this comparison: watching, the full guide and most features work without paying. Premium removes the last restrictions and adds picture-in-picture and extra profiles, among other things.

You buy premium as device slots on your ottnav account: the standard package covers five devices. The price varies by region and package; expect around $20 one-off, or a small monthly amount as a subscription. You buy through the OttNav Companion app from Google Play.
