I built a clean IPTV player for iPhone/iPad — bring your own playlist, no content included (solo dev, would love feedback)
Hey r/iOSAppsMarketing,
I'm the solo developer behind Timonation IPTV, and I wanted to share it here because this community is exactly who I built it for. You bring your own M3U URL/file or Xtream Codes login (Stalker/Ministra portals too) and the app plays it. I don't host, sell, or bundle any streams, it's just a player. There's a free tier and a one-time lifetime Pro unlock (no subscription).
What it does:
- Live TV, catch-up, and VOD (movies & series) with resume
- Full EPG / program guide with time-shift
- Favorites, multiple profiles, and parental controls (PIN-locked groups)
- iCloud sync so your playlists/favorites follow you across devices
- Recording + picture-in-picture, widgets, and Live Activity / Dynamic Island
- Built on VLCKit, so it plays the formats other players choke on
- 7 languages
I'd genuinely love feedback from people who run real playlists: what works, what breaks, what's missing. Happy to answer anything about the app or the build.
