Set up TiviMate Player on iPhone and iPad
On iOS everything comes from the App Store, so there is nothing to side-load and no setting to turn on. Four steps and you are watching.

Before you start
- The credentials email we send once your order is confirmed — either an M3U link, or a server address with a username and password.
- The device you want to watch on, connected to the internet.
- Around 15 Mbps for Full HD, 25 Mbps for 4K, measured on that device.
Which app to use
Smarters Player Liteby WHMCS SMARTERS · App Store
On iOS the names are copied relentlessly. This is the listing we could identify with the most ratings, a named publisher and a recent update.
Free, 4.8 stars across about 445,800 ratings, last updated 11 September 2026. Checked 4 October 2026.
Several App Store listings copy this name with different developers behind them. Check that the developer line reads WHMCS SMARTERS before you install.
We publish none of these applications and receive nothing from their developers. Any player that takes an M3U link or an Xtream Codes login will work with your subscription — this is simply the one we see working best here.
The steps, in order
- 1
Install a player from the App Store
Search for an IPTV player and install it. Support names the one we see working best on current iOS if you would rather not pick from the lookalikes.
- 2
Open it and add your service
Choose to add a playlist or to log in with a server, username and password.
- 3
Enter your credentials
Choose the Xtream Codes login if the app offers it: type the server address, then the username and the password exactly as they appear in your email. If the app only takes a playlist, paste the M3U link instead.
- 4
Allow it to load
The channel list comes first and the guide follows. AirPlay to an Apple TV works from most players if you want it on the big screen.
The mistake that stops most people
Installing a lookalike app. Several App Store listings copy the same name with different developers behind them. Read the developer line, not just the title.
Questions about iPhone & iPad
- Does this work on Apple TV?
- Yes, either by AirPlay from an iPhone or iPad, or with a player installed on the Apple TV itself. Support can point you at one.
- Is there an app you supply yourselves?
- No. We supply the subscription — the credentials — and you use the player of your choice. That is also why your subscription keeps working if an app is ever withdrawn.
- The app crashes on launch.
- Usually an old build on a current iOS. Delete it, install a different player, and enter the same credentials — nothing on our side has to change.
