I have Titivate and I prefer Sparkle Tv over Tivi. It's clean, fast. User interface is excellent!!! I bought the lifetime subscription

Nice app, but add some features like titivate app. Please add choosing exo, vlc and other players.

Pleasant surprise. This app is doing everything right. Only IPTV app that flawlessly Integrates HDhomerun natively. Wish to have been: quick acces to list of channels and/or mosaic of logos without the full EPG (update: Developer reported that channel list feature is on the works!). Also, access to categories and list change by left button press. (Update: mapped OK long press to EPG launch) Now I can have access to categories with left. Good work. I found this app to be better than Titivate.

Too many errors some IPTV channels in Australia are blacked out like the 9GEM and 9LIFE and outers when switching channels no video no sound going to look for older version since that's how I found sparkle TV in the 1st place it worked then purchased it then update now full of errors don't work right on Amazon cube 3rd generation and the new onn Google streaming pro newest version the developer doesn't respond too anything I sent meny emails with no response at all not even on Google

Well. Nice interface. And that's it. On mobile info poping out that this app is not optimized for Android 14 no full screen mode. On samsung got white taskbar visible. On tablet without remote running nice but... It is dodgy with epg. Even if you know that epg exist is not showing program descript (couple hours back). When you skiping back description is poping out. Function fast-forward or skip back doesn't work. On the progress bar u have a speed shown but nothing happend. Nice project but still.

How do you set the app up. I keep getting URL error every time I put in my name and password
★★☆☆☆Ben Amos· Jul 17, 2025
Two stars, due to the great layout. I was able to add a playlist with ease, using the unpaid version. I paid the one time fee immediately, after seeing the option to add my own self-hosted jellyfin server. I was unable to set up my jellyfin server using my custom domain name. So much for an all-in-one app on the go. The local LAN address for it seemingly accepted the setup, yet nothing appeared after waiting for 5 minutes. I've requested a refund.

Hopefully the video issue will be resolved in the future, but currently I am unable to stream from tvheadend on my phone and only get a black stream with audio. The same set-up works great for sparkle TV on my shield and Google tv streamer.
