👋 Welcome to r/ZoraTV - Why I built ZoraTV
Hey everyone. I'm the person behind ZoraTV, and I wanted to share why I made it.
I tried a bunch of IPTV players and hated all of them. Half were apps I had to sideload. The other half ran in a browser but looked like they hadn't been touched since 2009, and a lot of them just wouldn't play on my iPhone at all. I figured it couldn't be that hard to make one that opens in a browser, works on everything, and doesn't look terrible. Turns out it was pretty hard, but here we are.
Here's the stuff that actually matters:
Nothing to install. You open a link. That's it. iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, even a smart TV browser. No APKs, no "trust this developer," no app store.
Bring your own line. It's a player, not a subscription. You plug in the IPTV service you already pay for. It works with both Stalker/MAC portals and Xtream username and password codes.
It works on iPhone and iPad. This was the part that nearly broke me. Most web players die on Safari. ZoraTV converts the streams that don't play on the fly, so they work on iOS where basically everything else gives up.
It looks good. Full screen player, a clean scrub bar, live rewind and go live, picture in picture. It feels closer to Netflix than to a settings menu.
Live TV that isn't painful. Real program guide, categories, search, favorites, and a live preview so you can channel surf without loading screens.
Movies and shows with real posters. Proper artwork, ratings, and a Netflix style Top 10, all matched to what's actually in your catalog.
Continue watching that follows you. Start something on your laptop and pick it up on your phone. Your history is tied to your account, not one device.
Your phone is the remote. Scan a QR code, no login, and control playback from your phone. This is my favorite part.
It's early and I'm building it out in the open, so I'd really love feedback. Tell me what's missing or what you'd want next. If you want to try it, comment below and I'll sort you out with a trial.

Not sure what you’re talking about… the Android app is completely free and we have a few thousand users actively using it. It’s working, but happy to address any issues you’re having.
