Reviews of the IPTV Pro application

Mikhail Yudin, 26, Sevastopol. Pretty easy to use yet functional IPTV app. I use it not on TB-boxes (I heard it hangs on them), but on a smartphone and tablet. Everything is going great. The only thing is that they can’t figure out how to manually sort the channels here.
Vitaly Maslyakov, 40 years old, Yekaterinburg. Bought the app and installed it. Everything works fine, but for some reason the program does not automatically start on h96 Mac h616. Not critical, of course, but in the description of the application it is promised. Another minor point is not very convenient volume control, you need to get used to it.
Irina Dolgikh, 33 years old, Voronezh.Good app, I’ve been using it for years. I haven’t come across better yet. Simple interface, no frills. And it’s the only player that fully plays the entire playlist provided by my ISP. In others, for some reason, constant failures occur. IPTV applications are now very popular, as they offer a huge number of channels to watch for free or for a nominal fee. Use the IPTV Pro service and watch your ISP’s IP-TV or TV channels from any other Internet source on your Android phone, tablet and TV.
