North IPTV on iPhone: the channel list beside a live preview playing a hockey game

Free means free.

The whole player costs nothing — and stays that way. No account to create, no ads, no trial clock on the basics. Premium exists for a handful of power features, because somebody has to pay the bills. Everything below is included:

Live TV with instant preview Full TV guide (EPG) Replay / catch-up Movies & TV shows Search Favourites Bouquets Country filter Parental control Subtitles & audio tracks Fastest-server switching iCloud sync — all your devices

Built for the television first.

Most IPTV apps treat the Apple TV as an afterthought. This one was built on it.

The full EPG grid on Apple TV: pinned channel column, red now-line, three days of history
TV Guide

A real guide grid, with a memory.

Channels stay pinned on the left while you travel through the week — up to three days back. Click any programme that already aired and its replay starts. Instantly, no dialog.

Short programmes — the weather, the lottery draw — grow a readable card the moment you focus them.

Downloads · Premium

Downloads that finish.

Films, episodes — and replays, which download as files about ten times faster than watching them, and outlive your provider's catch-up window.

Transfers keep going while your iPhone is locked, resume from the exact byte they stopped at after any interruption, and always show speed and time remaining. On cellular, the app asks before spending your data.

The Downloads screen: one film finished, another downloading with speed and time remaining
A channel's schedule: every past programme carries replay and download buttons
Replay

What already aired is one tap away.

Wherever your provider offers catch-up, past programmes carry a replay button — in the guide, and in every channel's schedule. Watching replays is free.

Providers hand out several server addresses and tell you to switch at peak hours. North IPTV measures them — never while you're watching — and moves to the fastest one for you.

Movie Night · Premium

Settle the nightly negotiation.

Filter your own catalogue by country, genre, decade and rating — then let the app choose. “A French thriller from the 90s, rated 7 or better” takes about ten seconds, and it only suggests films your playlist actually has.

Movie Night: a wall of film posters filtered from the user's own catalogue

Everything a player should do.

The classic IPTV experience — with the polish you expect from a native Apple app.

📺

Live TV with preview

Browse channels with an instant preview pane, then expand to full screen without reloading the stream.

TV Guide with history

Replay & catch-up

Wherever your provider keeps an archive, past programmes are watchable — from the guide or a channel's schedule.

Questions people actually ask.

The honest answers, up front.

Is this legal?

North IPTV is a player, like VLC: it ships with no content, no playlists and no links. What you watch comes from a subscription you bring. Whether a given subscription is legitimate depends on the provider and where you live — plenty are (operators, hotels, community channels), plenty aren't. The app is deliberately content-agnostic.

Where do I get an IPTV subscription?

Not from us — we don't recommend, sell or link providers, and the app includes none. If you already have one, adding it takes about thirty seconds: paste your M3U link or Xtream Codes login, done.

Why is anything paid at all?

The player is complete for free — including iCloud sync and bouquets, which moved out of the paywall in 1.4. Premium covers the power features a minority uses and that cost real work to maintain: downloads, recording, unlimited playlists, Movie Night. One developer, real bills.

Does it track me?

No analytics, no ads, no account. Your playlists, favourites and progress live in your own private iCloud database — nothing touches a server we operate, and we couldn't read it if it did. The full details are in the privacy policy.

Android? Windows? Web?

Not yet — iPhone, iPad and Apple TV today, and we'd rather say that plainly than list platforms as “coming soon”. macOS has started; Android is on the roadmap.

Something doesn't work with my provider.

That's exactly what we want to hear — panels differ more than they should. Settings → About → Feature Requests attaches your app version and device model (nothing about your provider), or write to northiptv.requests@gmail.com.

The North IPTV polar bear mascot under the northern lights

Made in the north, by one person.
Every feature since 1.0 came from somebody asking for it — there's a Feature Requests screen in the app for exactly that. No marketing budget, no growth team: just an app that tries to be the best way to watch IPTV on Apple devices, and people telling each other about it. If it earns it, tell someone.

North IPTV is a player, not a content service. The app does not provide, host, sell or distribute any channels, movies or shows, and no playlist is included. All content comes exclusively from the playlist links you add yourself, and you are responsible for having the right to use them. North IPTV is not affiliated with any IPTV provider. Channels, programmes and artwork shown on this page are illustrative and not included with the app.
