CatchON TV on iPhone, iPad & Apple TV

Apple devices do not have a dedicated CatchON TV app, but several well-made IPTV players in the App Store work perfectly with your login. Setup takes about 5 minutes on each device.

Recommended Apps for Apple Devices

Apple reviews every app in its store, so IPTV players there are safe to install. They are only players: they hold no channels until you add your CatchON TV login. Our favourite is GSE Smart IPTV, which runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Mobile versions of IPTV Smarters are another good choice.

Setup on iPhone or iPad

  1. Install the playerOpen the App Store, search for GSE Smart IPTV and install it.
  2. Open Remote PlaylistsTap the menu, then Remote Playlists, then the plus button.
  3. Add your Xtream Codes loginChoose Add Xtream Codes API, name it CatchON TV, and paste the server URL, username and password from your email.
  4. Open the playlistTap the new playlist. Channels, movies and series load within a minute.

Setup on Apple TV

  1. Install from the Apple TV App StoreSearch for the same player on your Apple TV and install it.
  2. Add the playlistUse the remote to add an Xtream Codes playlist, or sync it from your iPhone if the app offers iCloud sync.
  3. Load the TV guideOpen the EPG section and refresh it once after the first load.

Tip: many Apple players also accept the M3U link. Use it only if Xtream Codes is not available, because Xtream Codes loads movies, series and the guide more reliably.

Casting to Your TV With AirPlay

You can also play a channel on your iPhone and send it to an Apple TV or an AirPlay-compatible Smart TV. Tap the AirPlay icon in the player. For long viewing, a player installed directly on the TV gives better quality and does not drain your phone battery.

Questions About Apple Devices

Why is there no official app?

Apple does not allow IPTV services of this type to publish their own apps. That is why every IPTV provider on iOS uses third-party players.

Do the apps cost money?

Some players are free with ads or limits, and others charge a small fee to unlock all features. This is paid to the developer, not to CatchON TV.
