Features

Everything you expect from TV — and more

Made for remote controls and touch screens alike, tuned for quick zapping and top picture quality.

One account, all devices

Add your playlist once. Favourites, history and where you stopped follow you from the living room to your phone.

Live TV guide & Replay

See what's on now and next for every channel, with a progress bar and instant preview. Missed something? Replay takes you back days, when your provider offers it.

Movies & series

Posters, ratings, plots and seasons, sorted by newest, rating or A–Z — and every film resumes exactly where you left it, on any screen.

Download & record

Record live TV, download a film, an episode or a whole season in one tap, and watch on the plane — no internet needed.

Send to any TV

From your phone or computer to LG, Samsung and other Smart TVs over Wi-Fi, or with AirPlay (iPhone, iPad and Mac) and Chromecast — great in hotels too.

Search by country & kind

Type a channel, film or series — or just pick a country and what you feel like: sport, news, kids, films, music. No keyboard needed on the TV.

Newspapers New

Today's headlines from the newspapers' own websites, country by country, right next to your TV — in the Mac and Windows app.

Speaks your language

Zaplio comes in more than 30 languages and follows your device — Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Dutch and many more.

Plays everything

HLS, MPEG-TS, MP4, MKV and more, up to 4K. Pick audio language and subtitles. Automatic fallback when a stream misbehaves.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Does Zaplio include TV channels?

No. Zaplio is a media player only. You add your own sources — for example a playlist from your IPTV provider, or free and public channels. You are responsible for having the right to watch what you add.

What do I need to start?

An M3U playlist link or an Xtream Codes login (server, username, password) from your provider. Add it under Settings → Add playlist.

How do I install it on Android TV or Fire TV?

Open the Play Store (or Amazon Appstore) on your TV and install Downloader. Open Downloader, type zaplio.app/apk and press Go, then Install. On Fire TV, first allow Downloader under Settings → My Fire TV → Developer options → Install unknown apps.

How do I sign in? Is there a password?

No password. Enter your email and we send you a 6-digit code. Use the same email on all your phones, tablets and computers. On a TV, choose I already use Zaplio and scan the QR code with your phone — the TV links itself.

Is Zaplio available in my language?

Zaplio is being translated into more than 30 languages, including Portuguese, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Arabic, Turkish, Russian and Chinese. It follows your device's language; you can change it in Settings → Language.

How many devices can I use?

As many as you like. With Single screen you watch on one device at a time; with Multi-screen several at once (limited by your provider's connection limit).

How does renewal work? Can I cancel?

Plans renew automatically once a year at the same price. We email you 7 days before. You can cancel any time in your account — you keep access until the end of the paid year. If a renewal payment fails, we tell you; if it keeps failing, the plan stops automatically.

Can I watch offline?

Yes. In the iPhone, Android, Mac and Windows apps you can download a film, a single episode or a whole season (the episodes download one after another), and record a live channel for 30 minutes up to 3 hours. Then watch without internet. Your provider must allow downloads — keep only what you have the right to.

Is there an app for Mac and Windows?

Yes. Zaplio for Mac (Apple silicon and Intel, macOS 11 or newer) and for Windows 10 and 11 are included in your plan — see Download. You get the home screen, the full TV guide, films and series, newspapers, downloads and recording, and you can send to your TV with AirPlay (Mac) or over Wi-Fi to Smart TVs.

Does it work on hotel TVs?

Often, yes: send from your phone with Cast (Smart TVs on the same Wi-Fi, AirPlay or Chromecast). Some hotel TVs block this — a USB-C/Lightning to HDMI adapter always works.
