The best IPTV apps for Firestick: VividoPlayer, TiviMate and IPTV Smarters Pro

USA & Canada · Updated · 3 min read

An IPTV app is only a player. It has no channels of its own: you sign in with the login from your IPTV subscription, and the app shows the channels, films, series and TV guide that come with it. So the right app is the one that fits how you watch, not the one with the longest feature list.

These are the three players people use most on an Amazon Fire TV Stick. All three work with a Gabo365 login, because all three accept Xtream Codes and M3U playlists.

We recommend VividoPlayer because it is the app our setup help is written for. The other two are good players too, and you should pick whichever suits you.

VividoPlayer

VividoPlayer is built for streaming sticks and TV boxes: large tiles, a remote-friendly layout, and live TV, films and series in separate sections so nobody has to scroll through thousands of channels to find tonight’s film.

  • Free to install. You sign in with your own IPTV login.
  • Signs in with Xtream Codes, so the TV guide, films and series load on their own.
  • The app every step in our dashboard and our Firestick setup guide is written for, so help is quickest here.
  • Installed with the free Downloader app from vividoplayer.com, since it is not in the Amazon Appstore.

TiviMate

TiviMate is the player people choose when they want IPTV to look and feel like cable: its TV guide is a full channel-by-time grid, and switching channels is fast.

  • The strongest TV guide of the three, with a proper grid, favourites and channel groups.
  • Works with M3U playlists and Xtream Codes logins.
  • The free version is limited. Features such as more than one playlist and recording need TiviMate Premium, a paid subscription bought through the TiviMate Companion app on an Android phone.
  • Made for Android TV. It is not in the Amazon Appstore, so on a Firestick it has to be installed with Downloader.

IPTV Smarters Pro

IPTV Smarters Pro is the most widely used IPTV player overall, mainly because it runs almost everywhere: Fire TV, Android, iPhone, Apple TV and many smart TVs. If your household mixes devices, the same app on each one keeps things simple.

  • Free, with live TV, films, series and a TV guide in one place.
  • Works with Xtream Codes logins and M3U playlists.
  • The same app on Samsung and LG smart TVs and on Apple TV, which is why we recommend it there.
  • Its place in the Amazon Appstore has come and gone over the years. If you can’t find it, install it with Downloader from the developer’s own website.

Which one should you pick?

  • You want it simple, and help that matches every step you see: VividoPlayer.
  • You channel-surf and live in the TV guide, and don’t mind paying for Premium: TiviMate.
  • You want the same app on a Firestick, an iPhone and a smart TV: IPTV Smarters Pro.

You don’t have to choose for good. The same login works in all three, so you can install two and keep the one you reach for. Just remember your plan sets how many screens can stream at the same moment, not how many apps you install.

Installing any of them safely

On a Firestick, apps from outside the Amazon Appstore go in through the free Downloader app, with Install unknown apps switched on for it. Our Firestick setup guide shows every screen.

Only download an app from its developer’s own website or an official store. Modified copies of popular players circulate on file-sharing sites, and an app you sign into with your login is not something to take from a stranger.
