We are now fully progressing with iCloud sync development for NextGen IPTV Player.

PS: The images/screens shown are from our internal testing environment only 👀

iCloud Sync is still currently in development/testing and is not yet publicly available to users.

Current internal progress:
• tvOS: almost fully ready
• iOS/iPadOS: around 70% complete

We are approaching this extremely carefully because we want thousands of our existing users to transition smoothly without interrupting their current setup, playlists, favourites, or viewing experience.

Over the coming weeks we will be carrying out:
• internal testing
• external testing
• private TestFlight testing
• dedicated Discord beta channels for community testers

One of the biggest changes happening behind the scenes right now is a complete transition to a much faster and lighter database architecture.

The goal is simple:
Less waiting. Faster loading. Instant navigation.

The improvements we are already seeing internally are honestly massive 👀

We are heavily optimising:
• category loading
• playlist refresh handling
• database querying
• continue watching
• metadata handling
• overall UI responsiveness

At the same time, we are also redesigning and improving parts of the iOS and iPadOS user experience based directly on community and Reddit feedback.

A lot of the recent iPad feedback especially has been extremely useful 🙌

Our small team has been working around the clock lately… and of course we can’t forget our little office cat supervising development sessions 😅🐾

As promised, we will continue sharing development updates here on Reddit several times a week so you can follow the journey with us.

Also don’t forget 👀

We are currently running our FREE30 promo code which gives eligible users 30 days completely free instead of the normal 3 day trial 🙌

• Users must provide their own playlist/provider
• Standard Apple subscription terms apply
• Offer may be withdrawn at any time

Enjoy and happy watching 🚀

That’s it from us devs (and our little kitty) for today 🚀

Speak soon.

Over the last few weeks, we have been testing the next generation of iCloud sync between Apple TV, iPhone, and iPad.

During development, we made an important decision.

Rather than rushing the feature into production, we decided to first modernise and improve parts of our iOS and iPadOS architecture to ensure the best possible long term experience across Apple devices.

Why?

Because of your feedback.

NextGen IPTV Player is genuinely community driven, and many of the improvements, ideas, and priorities come directly from conversations with our users every single day.

You are helping shape the future of the app.

Our vision is much bigger than simply creating another IPTV player.

We want:

• a smoother Apple TV experience
• a more premium iPhone and iPad UX
• smarter playlist handling
• improved EPG reliability
• better Catch Up support
• automatic playlist refreshing
• faster and more seamless device sync
• smarter continue watching
• and a more connected Apple ecosystem experience

The goal is simple:

Start watching on your iPhone while travelling…
Then continue watching on your Apple TV at home exactly where you left off 👀

Smoothly. Seamlessly. Naturally.

Our focus is building a connected experience across your own Apple devices while keeping users fully in control of their own playlists, preferences, and viewing experience.

We are taking our time because we want to deliver this in a polished, reliable, and premium way that truly feels at home on Apple platforms.

This is only the beginning 🚀

Genuine question for IPTV users 👇

Would syncing playlists, favourites, hidden categories, and watch progress between iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV actually matter to you?

For example:

Add playlist on iPhone → appears on Apple TV

Hide categories once → hidden everywhere

Favourites sync across devices

Continue watching works between iPhone/iPad and Apple TV

Would this be a must-have feature, or do most people only use IPTV on one device anyway?

Curious what people actually think.

Today we hit a major milestone: iCloud sync is now successfully bridged with NextGen IPTV Player.

That means we’ve now got the foundation working for:

• Uploading playlists to iCloud
• Downloading playlists from iCloud
• Sync preparation across iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV
• A smoother multi-device experience

This is one of the biggest features many of you have been asking for, and we’re really excited about the progress.

Also, don’t forget to update your app the latest iOS and Apple TV versions are now live on the App Store.

With NextGen IPTV Player, you can enjoy fast, stable streaming on your iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV whether you’re watching in your pocket or from the comfort of your sofa.

And for iPhone/iPad users: when there’s no internet or Wi-Fi, NextGen has your back with offline downloads so you can watch anywhere.

One more reminder: our plans support Family Sharing across up to 6 Apple devices, so one subscription can cover your household.

Thanks again for the support we’re building this with the community, one feature at a time.

Huge playlists are great… until you’re trying to find anything 😅

Some IPTV apps give you thousands of channels, but organising them can feel like a complete mess.

That’s actually one area we tried to make much easier in NextGen IPTV Player — giving users more control over what they want to see and what they want to hide, so big playlists feel more organised instead of overwhelming.

What do you actually find most useful for managing a big playlist?

• Hide unwanted channels/categories
• Favourites
• Rename categories
• Custom category order
• Search
• Recently watched
• Only show selected channels

What’s the one organisation feature you actually use the most?

NextGen is available on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV.

Some of the biggest changes in this update:

• New Shows experience with separated season tabs for easier navigation
• Auto-play next episode support
• Brand new Home Screen sections for top-rated and recently added content
• Improved movie/show details using OMDb ratings, plots, and metadata
• Massive improvements to category fetching and database queries
• Faster loading, smoother navigation, and better stability overall

Honestly, a lot of these improvements came directly from community feedback. We read pretty much everything people complain about with IPTV players 😅

One thing we’ve been heavily focusing on lately is making the app feel:

• faster
• more premium
• less cluttered
• more “Netflix-like” on Apple TV

We’re also working on bigger things behind the scenes now like iCloud sync between iPhone/iPad/Apple TV.

Since we’re community-driven developers, I’d genuinely like to ask:

What feature would YOU want next in an IPTV player?

Or what’s the one thing IPTV apps still do badly?

We’re listening 👀

Today we finished our first internal iCloud sync dry-run testing for tvOS/iOS.

The goal is simple:
Your playlists, favourites, watched progress, continue watching, hidden content preferences and more… synced safely across Apple TV, iPhone and iPad.

One thing we discovered during the tvOS investigations is that Apple TV storage behaves VERY differently compared to iPhone/iPad. IPTV apps can easily cache hundreds of MBs of data, while tvOS aggressively manages local storage behind the scenes.

So instead of rushing a risky sync system, we’re building this carefully:

• offline-first
• non-destructive sync
• recovery-safe
• designed to protect existing user data

Current dry-run testing checks:
• playlists
• favourites
• hidden content
• watched progress
• continue watching state

No actual cloud writes yet - safety first 😅

Honestly this is probably one of the biggest architecture upgrades we’ve worked on so far.

I’m curious what’s the one thing that instantly makes you uninstall an IPTV player?

For me, common pain points seem to be:

• slow playlist loading
• messy categories
• bad Apple TV remote navigation
• poor EPG readability
• losing recently watched progress
• buffering / player freezing
• too many clicks to watch something

What would you fix first?
