Which devices can I use with QPlay?
QPlay works on almost any device you already own. All you need is an internet connection and an IPTV app. But the choice of app actually matters quite a bit — the right app on the right device is the difference between a frustrating experience and a really great one.
Recommended apps by device
Apple – iPhone, iPad and Apple TV
The best IPTV experience on Apple devices comes from UHF. The app is built specifically for Apple's ecosystem and feels right at home — smooth navigation, Dolby Vision support and cloud-based playlists that sync across all your Apple devices.
| App | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| UHF | Recommended | Optimised for Apple, supports Dolby Vision and AirPlay |
| IPTVX | Alternative | Clean interface, great for iPad users |
Tips
UHF on Apple TV supports Dolby Vision and cloud playlists — your settings and favourites follow you across all your Apple devices automatically.
Android – Phones, TV boxes and Chromecast
On Android, TiviMate is the obvious choice for most users. The premium version is worth every penny — it offers advanced EPG management, the ability to record programmes and a level of customisation that no other IPTV app comes close to.
| App | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| TiviMate | Recommended | Best in class for Android, excellent EPG and recording |
| XCIPTV | Alternative | Fast and easy to get started with |
| Opus IPTV | Alternative | Good choice for simpler Android boxes |
Tips
Got an Nvidia Shield or another powerful Android TV box? TiviMate makes full use of the hardware and delivers an exceptionally smooth experience.
Samsung Smart TV (Tizen) and LG Smart TV (WebOS)
Built-in smart TV platforms have a more limited app selection compared to dedicated streaming boxes. It works, but if you want the best possible experience we recommend pairing your TV with an external box such as an Android TV box or Apple TV.
| Device | Recommended app | Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Samsung (Tizen) | IPTV Smarters Pro | Duplex IPTV |
| LG (WebOS) | IPTV Smarters Pro | Duplex IPTV |
Varning
Smart TV platforms are updated infrequently and can have limited performance for 4K streaming. An external streaming box generally delivers a noticeably better experience.
Gaming consoles and other devices
| Device | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| PlayStation / Xbox | Browser or MyIPTV Player |
| Windows | IPTV Smarters Pro or VLC with IPTV plugin |

Technical comparison

Frequently asked questions
Why don't you recommend IPTV Smarters for Apple and Android?
Smarters works well on platforms with limited app support, such as certain smart TV models. But on Apple and Android there are simply better options — UHF and TiviMate offer better performance, more features and a more polished overall experience.
Does AirPlay or casting to a TV work?
Generally speaking, AirPlay and casting don't work particularly well with IPTV. Live streaming involves a number of technical parameters that make casting unreliable. Our recommendation is to install an app directly on the device you want to watch on — this always gives the best result.
Can I use the same account across multiple apps and devices?
Yes, you can install QPlay on as many devices and apps as you like. However, you can only stream on one device at a time per subscription. If you need to watch on multiple screens simultaneously, get in touch with our support team.
