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 Smarters Pro for?
It may suit you if you want an Apple app for iPhone, iPad or Apple TV, or want to compare its separate Android versions. Store identity matters because several apps have similar names.
When is Smarters Pro a good fit?
Worth considering if these formats and listed devices meet your needs. Check Premium terms in your regional store before buying. Unlocking an app provides neither a playlist nor content.
Smarters Pro: See features and setup →Who is TiviMate for?
Google Play describes TiviMate as intended for Android TV devices and remote-control use. It may suit you if you want to manage several M3U, Xtream or Stalker sources and use EPG, favorites, catch-up, recording or multiview. This feature list comes from the official product description and is not an independent playback test. The store says the app is not optimized for phones and tablets.
When is TiviMate a good fit?
Consider TiviMate if your main device is an Android TV with a remote and you need the listed source formats or TV features. Compare the subscription and lifetime terms shown at checkout. For a phone, iPad, Fire TV or Vega device, do not infer support solely from the Android TV listing or an APK download; check compatibility for the exact device.
TiviMate: See features and setup →Setting up Smarters Pro: what to check first
Open the official store listing and check the developer and app ID or package. The current description names M3U and JSON; choose only a format that your app version and source explicitly accept.
Setting up TiviMate: what to check first
Install the app from its official Google Play listing or use the Android TV APK route offered on tivimate.com. Check the publisher Armobsoft FZE and package name ar.tvplayer.tv. Then add the access method supported by your provider: M3U, Xtream Codes or Stalker Portal. For catch-up, EPG, recording or multiview, your source and specific content must also support the feature.
- 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.

Playlist and playback tools
Check a playlist with the M3U checker without sharing private credentials, plan bandwidth for your devices, and use the platform guides for setup. A format check is not a playback test or a check of your usage rights.
