TiviMate is one of the best-loved IPTV players on Android TV, but it isn't made for Apple devices. Here's what to use instead, with the same playlist from your provider.
Checked against Google Play and the App Store in October 2026.
Is there TiviMate for iPhone?
No. TiviMate is made by Armobsoft FZE for Android TV and other Android devices, and it's sold through Google Play. There's no version from its developer for iPhone, iPad, Mac or Apple TV.
Watch out for look-alikes. The App Store has apps with names close to TiviMate's, made by other developers. They aren't TiviMate. Check the developer's name on the listing before you pay for anything.
The good news: TiviMate is only a player. Your channels come from your IPTV provider as an Xtream Codes login or an M3U link, and that works in any player that supports it, on any device.
What people love about TiviMate
Its Google Play listing sums it up as a TV guide, catch-up, recording and multiview. Here's which Apple-device players offer the same things, going by what each developer states.
If you want
On Apple devices
A TV guide with reminders
Yagi and IPTVX. UHF has reminders with Pro.

From each app's App Store listing and the developer's own site, October 2026. The full comparison has every row and source.
Where Yagi fits
Yagi is an IPTV player for iPhone, iPad and Mac. If you're coming from TiviMate, you'll find a TV guide beside the picture with reminders, Live TV, Movies and TV Shows in their own sections, favourites, pause and rewind for live TV, downloads for offline viewing, and iCloud sync between your devices. It also writes Instant Subtitles on the device for movies and series that have none.
To be honest about it: Yagi doesn't record, doesn't play your provider's catch-up, and has no Apple TV app yet. If those matter most, IPTVX or UHF are the closer match. The Yagi vs IPTVX and Yagi vs UHF pages go through the differences.
Bring your TiviMate playlist to an Apple device
Find your login. Look up the Xtream Codes server, username and password, or the M3U link, that you entered in TiviMate. Your provider's email or account page has them too.
Install a player. Download Yagi IPTV Player, or another player from the table, from the App Store.
Add the same playlist. In Yagi, choose Xtream Codes or M3U Link on the Add your playlist screen and enter the same details.
Mind your stream limit. Many providers allow one or two streams at a time, so stop playing on the Android device before you start on the iPhone.
