Store ratings are feedback from store users, not our own device tests. The number of store ratings is not the number of review texts we classified. A new export does not prove that every review was fetched again.

How to choose for your device

Before installing, decide what you actually need: an M3U link or Xtream access, remote control or touch input, EPG and the convenience features you care about. A feature in a store description may not be available on every platform. An undocumented feature is not necessarily unsupported by the app.

Who is ibo Pro Player for?

ibo Pro Player is a candidate for Apple users whose provider supplies an M3U URL or playlist. The store description lists Apple TV, iPhone and iPad, and features for metadata, favorites, subtitles, audio tracks and parental controls. These are publisher feature claims, not our own device or playback test. Apple lists technical requirements for Mac but marks the app as unverified there.

When is ibo Pro Player a good fit?

It may be worth considering if you use an M3U source and Apple devices and need the listed media and parental-control features. If Xtream login is a requirement, confirm support with the provider before choosing it: the reviewed store description does not confirm it. Also check the device terms, especially that the Mac listing is not verified for macOS.

Who is iMPlayer TV for?

The TV app meant here is the HzApps Google Play listing with package com.myiptvonline.implayer. It may suit Android TV users comparing EPG, VOD and, depending on the source, catch-up or recording. The official website lists M3U and JSON playlists. Do not confuse this listing with the separate mobile app.

When is iMPlayer TV a good fit?

Consider iMPlayer TV if you want an Android TV player with the listed EPG and VOD features and optional catch-up or recording. The website describes a trial after registration and annual and lifetime plans, which may depend on the number of devices. Compare the price and plan before buying. Ratings and developer claims are not a substitute for testing your own playlist on your device.

Setting up ibo Pro Player: what to check first

First check that the store listing is really from IRBOETECH and has ID 6449647925. Have your provider’s M3U URL or playlist ready. According to the store description, you upload the playlist through the website and activate the app there or through an in-app purchase. Enter credentials only through the intended route, and check the activation price shown in your own store before paying.

Setting up iMPlayer TV: what to check first

Open the Google Play listing and verify the title, publisher and package identifier. Alternatively, the official product website links to the TV installation route. Add your own playlist using the documented method and first check whether your source supports features such as catch-up or downloads. The website describes M3U and JSON playlists; Xtream was not explicitly confirmed in the reviewed TV information.

Match the exact app ID and official developer; do not conflate similarly named apps.
Check your device, operating system and the input format used by your source.
Using a source you are authorized to access, test live TV, EPG and the features you need on the actual device.
Before buying, read the trial, renewal, device limits and in-app purchase terms in your country’s store.

An IPTV player is playback software. This comparison does not include a channel package or access to films. You provide your own source and the rights to use it. Do not post playlist URLs containing credentials in the forum.

Frequently asked questions

Does ibo Pro Player or iMPlayer TV include TV channels?

This comparison covers player software. Content and usage rights come from your own source; installing a player does not buy a channel package.

Which player is better: ibo Pro Player or iMPlayer TV?

The right choice depends on your device, playlist format and required features. Compare the documented details for both apps and check unclear points with the developer. A high store rating does not guarantee that a feature works on your device.

How current is the information about ibo Pro Player and iMPlayer TV?

The product research date and store export date appear with the sources. Store prices, features and device availability can change, so we also link to the official listing for your device and country.

Playlist and playback tools
