Which app should I use on my Android phone or tablet?
There are two apps we recommend for Android phones and tablets: MYTVOnline+ and Opus IPTV. Both work great with QPlay, but they suit slightly different types of users. Here we break down the differences so you can make the right choice.

Frequently asked questions
Do these apps work on all Android devices?
Yes. Both MYTVOnline+ and Opus IPTV work on Android phones and tablets running Android 5.0 or later. Download them directly from the Google Play Store.
Can I use the same account in both apps at the same time?
Yes. You can have both apps installed and logged in with the same QPlay credentials without any issues. Remember that you can only stream on one device at a time per subscription.
What is catch-up and how does it work?
Catch-up lets you watch programmes that have already been broadcast — similar to an on-demand replay service. The feature is available in MYTVOnline+ and requires the channel to support it. Not all channels have catch-up available.
Should I choose MYTVOnline+ or Opus IPTV?
Choose MYTVOnline+ if you value stability and simplicity, or if you already use MYTVOnline on your TV. Choose Opus IPTV if you want more control, customisation options and synchronisation across devices.
