Worst app for money
This is the laziest developer I have ever seen. Sent email to him about issues with app, no reply. User have similar complaints, no resolution. Rather he has FAQ’s which says your internet is the issue, lol. FYI: I have fiver 1 gig connection and YouTube 4K videos play without a single sec lag.
The issues are:
1. Video simply will not start until you try 10 times or so. Now stop play after updating to ios 26.
2. Videos will start from time 10 minutes. Hard to go back and forth.
3. There no simple way to pause, you have to hit the screen, then find tiny play/pause button to pause. No quick controls.
4. There is no way you can find your last played video, you have to find it again and then try half an hour to start it.
5. You make favourites but App does not let favourites come on top, rather is just a yellow start next to video.
I can go on and on. It’s a shame if you are collecting money, then be responsible for your app.

This app stops working after every apple software update
I had purchased this app on my AppleTv, and it suddenly stops working after updates on the box. No proper support or response from app developers. Don’t waste ur money is what I recommend. Thanks!
Does not work on Live TV ****
My experience it is does work on Live TV only VOD works, though painfully non-pro app works fine which is very irritating as I paid for this app to remove ads
App needs latest update.
No response from developer So many bugs.

Authorization failed
I am getting an error message authorization failed 75. Can anyone help?
Less updates than free version
Free version of this app gets frequent updates and bug fixes, 6 updates over last year itself. But pro/paid version hasn’t been updated over year now.
App stopped working
The app just stopped working on my Apple TV, reset and still nothing. Everything works fine on the iPad though.
Not working with latest Apple update
App video player is not working with latest update on iPhone
Asking twice to pay
The App is good but they are asking to pay again for the MAC app even when the developers are same. That does not make any sense to me
No support
Zero support
No closed captioning
Half the time app has issues or does not work.
Server problem often.
No response on email sent to them.

Subtitles and parental control missing
There is no subtitle feature or parental control as the developer claims. The developer is a low life liar. You cannot delete channels from within the categories. EPG is seen per channel but not in a tabular format so it is a bit annoying. There is no history of past channels, which you should generally have access to. The developer does not respond to emails for features to be updated or to report issues. The developer is what his religion teaches him to do. what more can I say. Dishonest and man without integrity.
Fraud
This app is a fraud. The app doesn’t even work.
App does not work
App is not working. Setting config is not possible.

Developer likely given up on this app
Crashes a lot, developer doesn’t respond on FB messenger, cannot reach anyone to share issues!
Doesn’t work
This app stopped working now. It gives authentication failure. It use to work before. Just doesn’t waste your money. If u send emails no one responses. Very poor customer support
Not good.
I would not recommend this app to anybody. Glitches and no support.
Only works sometimes
The app stops working after a few days. It loads sometimes and then stops working again. Tried sending feedback to the developer a few times but no response.
Stop working in my area. USA
I paid for what they asking. Now this emulator stop working. I have lot of complaints about this emulator service.
No channels working
If possible I would like the developer and publisher to refund my money. This app is not working at all!!

Issues with STBEmu
I got this STBEmu Pro and installed it on my Apple TV. I use this with my LG Smart TV.
Issue#1
Though I can use my apple TV remote and LG Magic remote for basic operations; I can not set the favorites or sort with either of the remotes. Appreciate if that support can be provided at least how to configure the remote to work on STBEmu.
Issue#2
If I am watching say episode 5 and if i click back button I expect it to go to the list of episode and highlight Ep 5. But it goes to some other Ep #.

Always Buffers
A paid app should not be that much ignored by their developers. The app can’t open any channels always buffers and stops. Please help the developers reputation is questionable.
App stopped working
App just gives authentication failure after IOS upgrade. No response from app developer and no app upgrade for months. Need these bugs to be fixed. Don’t waste your money.
App stopped working
App was good in the beginning then it stopped working on data and only worked when it was on Wi-Fi. Then stopped working completely. Deleted it and reinstalled it and stopped working completely. Tried to get help from support but no reply.

Portal login not supported
I have purchased this app recently & the app doesn’t support IPTV portal login.
MAC ID sync issue
The app is not sending all data causing the auth.
Now I am getting authorization error. The same STBLITE app is working when I provide the same info.
Also the same mac and url works on firetv app.
As per IPTV provider the app latest update push messed up.
No support from developer to fix the app.
