★★★★ MIHIR MIHIR 3/10/2025 vv2.0.14.02
Not worth to try even, it has a bug as soon as you open on your mobile device, it closes right away.
★★★★ Sanjay Raina 2/23/2025 vv2.0.14.02
the user interface is horrible it always lags and many times the feed is not there, also the app quite often freezes and crashes requiring frequent restarts.....if you are using this for any IPTV content you're better off spending your money somewhere else. App has stopped working and now I'm not receiving any feed.

★★★★ Honest 12/5/2024 vv2.0.13.13
My provider doesn't support mac address anymore as they say it's easier to hack but I' still use this on my shield. Won't work on anything else just get the message to contact provider about mac.
★★★★ Ramesh Patil 9/29/2024 vv2.0.13.13
Very bad experience. First bought Webomatic service in the month of June 2023 and the company representative Neha informed me that my plan will be for 18 months for US120$. After 14 months another representative Amit messaging to renew the plan even though 4 months are still pending from my old plan. They are asking for proof like email... Which the previous representative didn't sent. It's very irritating and fraud business. Don't go for this service...

I have samsung ultra s23. I have been using this app and lately having the following issue. When I launch the application, sometimes it only shows me just 2 menus, TV and media browser. I dont see videos section. Any idea why this is happening? I tried closing and launching the app several times. I tried reloading using the menu on the app too.
★★★★ Gmail User 12/16/2023 vv2.0.11.3
awful clunky app
★★★★ Rajesh Mandepudi 11/16/2023 vv2.0.11.3
starts with add and stuck forever . it doesn't load IPTV channels. useless app
★★★★ Marquis Parent 10/28/2023 vv2.0.11.3
the app works fine. but its not possible to create customs groups of channels and tv series. this app would get 4 stars with these features.
★★★★ Utkarsh Gupta 9/17/2023
pretty bad app. the app keeps crashing on a smart TV and the IPTV service is pretty painful to watch on this app. if using IPTV I'd suggest asking your IPTV provider to configure the smartSTB app as it works much better.
★★★★ ASM Services 9/2/2023
The player needs more upgradations. It hangs in speed of 50/ 100 mbps. Where as tivimate premium hs an option to increase buffer which is missing here. U can incorporate either from tivi mate or some player like youtube player can be other option which even runs of low bandwidth without buffering. Even STB Pro version buffers it really annoying. Let dere be a delay of 1 min or 2 mins but buffering sud nt be there. In this 1 min or 2 min buffering can be solved.
★★★★ Solomon Jacob 8/17/2023 vv2.0.10.4

★★★★ Jerin Jesudurai 4/27/2023
The playback forward and reverse option doesn't work with MI Box remote. Instead configured to volume setting. There is no customization option for the arrow keys. Totally weird!
★★★★ Kedar Samani 4/5/2023 vv2.0.9.4
tried all players. using a HisenseTV. earlier the option to play pause rewind fast forward used to be available on screen
★★★★★ Rahul Yadav 10/26/2025 vv2.0.17.01
TCL TV Whenever I change the channel on live TV, the volume goes back to 100%. Please fix the bug.
★★★★★ Tristan Balon 4/29/2024 vv2.0.12.4
Custom device ID2 and signature feature does not work. First device ID is sent, but random data is sent for the other device ID and the signature. This is why I've been unable to get my strict IPTV provider to work. Works great with lenient providers with few security measures. Will update my rating if this issue gets resolved. Issue tested & confirmed with WireShark.
★★★★★ K 4/4/2024
Since past versions the keyboard does not popup unless you press some number key to start typing. This renders the fire tv and Google TV remotes useless.
★★★★★ Johns M Francis 12/22/2023 vv2.0.11.3
Sound is on 100 for each channel. Everytime need to reduce.
★★★★★ Ashraf Ally 12/10/2023 vv2.0.11.3
not compatible with panasonic oled tv tx-48mz800b .once you open the app puts the tv volume to maximum
