What App Does Apollo IPTV Use?
Apollo TV doesn't have a single branded app — instead, it works with several high-quality third-party IPTV player apps. You enter your Apollo TV credentials into the app, and it connects to the service.
The recommended app is IPTV Smarters Pro — it's free, works on every platform, and is the most beginner-friendly option. Other excellent choices include TiviMate (Android), GSE Smart IPTV (iOS), and SS IPTV (Samsung/LG TVs).
What You Need Before You Start
Before installing the Apollo IPTV app, make sure you have:
- An active Apollo TV subscription — view plans here
- Your Apollo TV credentials — username, password, and portal URL (sent by email after subscribing)
- A compatible device — Firestick, Android, iPhone, Smart TV, or PC
- A stable internet connection — at least 10 Mbps for HD, 25 Mbps for 4K
Once you have these ready, pick your device below and follow the steps.
Install Apollo IPTV App on Firestick
The Amazon Firestick is the most popular device for Apollo IPTV. Here's how to set it up:
Step 1 — Enable Apps from Unknown Sources
Go to Settings → My Fire TV → Developer Options and turn on Apps from Unknown Sources and ADB Debugging.
Step 2 — Install Downloader App
Go to the Amazon App Store, search for Downloader, and install it. This lets you install apps that aren't in the Amazon store.
Step 3 — Download IPTV Smarters Pro
Open the Downloader app and enter this URL:
https://www.iptvsmarters.com
Navigate to the download section and install IPTV Smarters Pro for Fire TV.
Step 4 — Enter Your Apollo TV Credentials
Open IPTV Smarters Pro and select Login with Xtream Codes API. Enter:
- Username — from your Apollo TV welcome email
- Password — from your Apollo TV welcome email
- URL — your Apollo TV portal URL
Tap Add User and wait for your channels to load.
Step 5 — Start Watching
Your full 40,000+ channel lineup will appear. Browse by category or use the search to find what you want.

TiviMate is an excellent alternative for Android. It has a cleaner interface and better sports EPG. The free version works well, and the premium version ($5/year) adds recording and multi-screen features.
Install on iPhone or iPad

- Search for GSE Smart IPTV or IPTV Smarters
- Install the app (both are free)
- Open the app and go to Remote Playlists or Xtream Codes
- Enter your Apollo TV credentials
- Tap Add and wait for channels to load
GSE Smart IPTV is the top choice for iPhone and iPad — it's free, stable, and handles large channel lists well.

- Enter your Apollo TV credentials via Xtream Codes API
