IMPlayer is an IPTV player app that stands out for running on both Android-based devices and Apple devices, which makes it a useful option if your household mixes the two. Like every player app, it has no channels of its own — it loads the login from your IPTV subscription. This guide covers installing it on each platform, adding your IPTV USA login, the settings worth changing, and how to fix the common problems.
| Works on | Android TV and Google TV, Android phones and tablets, Fire TV (installed manually), iPhone, iPad, Apple TV, and Mac |
|---|---|
| Not confirmed on | Roku and Samsung or LG smart TVs — use IPTV Smarters or Smart IPTV there |
| Login method | Xtream Codes (recommended), M3U link, or portal |
| Cost | Free version with an optional Premium upgrade bought inside the app (separate from your IPTV subscription) |
| Setup time | About 5 minutes |
IMPlayer is a media player. It does not supply, sell, or host any channels — you bring your own login, and everything you watch comes from your IPTV subscription. It is a separate product made by an independent developer, listed on the Apple App Store under HzApps (Horizon Applications LLC). IPTV USA is not affiliated with it; we cover it because it accepts the same Xtream Codes login our plans use.
One practical warning: if you search for IMPlayer, you will find many websites using the same name, some of them promoting their own IPTV offers. Install the app only from your device’s official app store listing, and never enter your IPTV USA login on a website that is not iptv-0.com.
The app is free to install, with an optional Premium upgrade sold as an in-app purchase. Reviewers report that some features — favorites and full on-demand access in particular — sit behind Premium, so install the free version first and check what is locked on your device before paying. Pricing differs between stores and changes over time, so read it in the app instead of trusting a number in an article.
The app’s listed features include a full guide, catch-up, on-demand libraries, custom channel groups, subtitle styling, local timeshift, and multi-view on iPad. Whether catch-up and recording work also depends on what your IPTV service supports on its streams, so ask support before buying Premium for those features specifically.
The deciding factor is usually your devices. TiviMate runs only on Android-based devices, while IMPlayer covers Android and Apple, and IPTV Smarters is the most widely available option overall. If you are on Fire TV or Android TV, our own guides recommend IPTVUSA App 2 first, with TiviMate or IMPlayer as alternatives if you prefer their layouts. The best IPTV apps comparison lays them side by side.
About five minutes from install to your first channel.

| Problem | What to try |
|---|---|
| Login error or playlist will not load | Compare the server URL, username, and password to My Account character by character, watch for a trailing space, and confirm your order or trial is approved. Try again with the Xtream Codes option rather than M3U. |
| Channels load but the guide is empty | Refresh the guide from the playlist settings and check the guide source. With an M3U link, a separate guide URL may be needed. |
| Favorites or on-demand content is locked | These are reported Premium features. Test in the free version first, then decide whether to upgrade. |
| The app will not install on my Apple device | The listing asks for a recent operating system — iOS or iPadOS 18, tvOS 18, or macOS 26. Update your device software and try again. |
| I cannot find it in the Amazon Appstore | It is reported to be unavailable there. Install it manually with the Downloader app using the developer’s own download. |
| Buffering or freezing | Raise the buffer size and toggle hardware acceleration. If it continues, work through the buffering guide. |
| Several sites use the IMPlayer name | Only install from your device’s app store listing, and never enter your IPTV USA login anywhere except the app and your My Account page. |
It is free to install, with an optional Premium upgrade bought inside the app. Some features are reported to be Premium-only, so test the free version first.

Xtream Codes, because it loads the channel list and TV guide together. M3U works but often needs a separate guide source.
