This guide provides instructions for installing IPTV Smarters on various devices including FireStick (Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Cube, and FireStick 4K), Android TV Boxes, Smart Android TVs, and iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch).
Overview of IPTV Smarters Pro
IPTV Smarters, also known as IPTV Smarters Pro, serves as an IPTV player facilitating access to channel playlists from multiple IPTV subscriptions. Similar to Smart IPTV, it functions as an IPTV management tool.
Unlike Smart IPTV, which entails a one-time activation fee, IPTV Smarters is free to use, though a paid version offers additional features. It does not provide IPTV services directly nor host channels or playlists. Users must input login credentials from their IPTV service provider.
Compatibility and Features
IPTV Smarters supports IPTV services compatible with M3U playlists or utilizing the Xtream Codes API. Its standout feature is the ability to manage multiple IPTV subscriptions from a single platform, enhancing user convenience. The app boasts a user-friendly interface designed to optimize the streaming experience.
Furthermore, IPTV Smarters supports Electronic Program Guide (EPG) integration where included in the subscription plan.
Key Features of IPTV Smarters:
- Channel Access: Acts as an interface to access channels from various IPTV service providers.
- Subscription Requirement: Requires an active subscription with at least one IPTV service provider.
- Login Options: Utilizes M3U playlist URLs or Xtream Codes API for authentication.
- Multi-Subscription Support: Allows management of multiple IPTV subscriptions through a unified interface.
IPTV Smarters streamlines access to multiple IPTV subscriptions, eliminating the need for separate apps, and enhances user experience with its intuitive interface.
Is IPTV Smarters Pro Safe and Legal?
IPTV Smarters Pro faces limitations in availability on established app platforms such as Amazon and Google Play, which complicates its safety assessment. Therefore, exercising caution and conducting thorough research before utilizing such applications is essential.
Upon testing the IPTV Smarters Pro APK file using VirusTotal, no issues were detected. Here are the results:
Regarding its legality, the absence of listing on reputable app stores impacts its compliance status. Established app stores rigorously vet applications to ensure adherence to safety and legal standards, a reassurance not afforded by third-party sources.
For users opting to use IPTV Smarters Pro, employing a VPN is recommended when streaming via unofficial platforms. A VPN like ExpressVPN provides added security.

You now have the IPTV Smarters app installed on your FireStick.
Your FireStick or Fire TV is ready to stream your favorite content. However, it is important to note that your online activities are visible to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and government authorities. Streaming unauthorized movies, TV shows, or sports content may lead to legal consequences.
To protect your privacy and keep your streaming activities hidden, using a reliable VPN for Fire Stick is recommended. A VPN masks your original IP address (e.g., 43.250.156.123), helping you avoid online surveillance, ISP throttling, and content geo-restrictions.
I personally use and recommend ExpressVPN, known for its speed and security. It is compatible with various streaming apps and is easy to install on Fire TV / Stick.
While we do not endorse copyright infringement, unintentional streaming from illegitimate sources can happen. Distinguishing between legitimate and illegal sources is not always straightforward.
Before you start streaming on your Fire Stick or Fire TV, let’s review how to use ExpressVPN to ensure your streaming activities remain private.
Step 1: Subscribe to ExpressVPN by clicking HERE. The service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, allowing you to use it risk-free for the first 30 days. If you are not satisfied with the performance (which is highly unlikely), you can request a full refund.
Step 2: Power on your Fire TV Stick and navigate to the Find option, followed by the Search option.
Step 3: In the search bar, type “ExpressVPN” (without quotes) and select ExpressVPN when it appears in the search results.
Step 4: Click Download to install the ExpressVPN app on your Fire TV Stick.
Step 5: Open the app and enter the login credentials you created when subscribing to ExpressVPN. Click Sign In.
Step 6: Click the Power icon to connect to a VPN server. Your connection is now secure with the fastest and most reliable VPN for FireStick.

How to Use IPTV Smarters on FireStick
Before launching IPTV Smarters, it is advisable to create a shortcut for easy access. To do this:
- Navigate to IPTV Smarters.
- Press the Menu button on the remote (the 3-line button).
- Select “Move” from the popup menu on the bottom right of the screen.
- Move the icon to the top shelf for easier access.
Please note that IPTV Smarters does not come with any preloaded channels. It functions as a platform that allows you to stream channels available through your IPTV service providers. Therefore, you must have an active subscription with at least one IPTV service to use IPTV Smarters.
When you launch the IPTV Smarters app for the first time, you will be presented with the Terms of Use. Scroll down and click “Accept” to proceed.
There are two methods to sign in to your IPTV service on IPTV Smarters:
- Load Your Playlist or File/URL
- Login with Xtream Codes API
Load Your Playlist or File/URL
To utilize IPTV Smarters, your IPTV service must support the M3U playlist format. Note that not all IPTV services offer this compatibility.
Upon purchasing a subscription, your IPTV service provider typically sends an email containing your login details, including the M3U Playlist and EPG links. If you do not receive these links, please contact your IPTV provider.
When selecting the “Load Your Playlist or File/URL” option, the app may request permission. Click “Allow” to proceed.
On the subsequent screen, you can enter the M3U playlist link. Select the “M3U URL” radio button in the Playlist Type section. In the Playlist Name section, enter a name of your choice. Then, in the File/URL section, enter the M3U URL. Finally, click the “Add User” button.
Login with Xtream Codes API
Typing M3U playlist URLs using the FireStick remote can be cumbersome due to their length. As an alternative, I recommend using the Xtream Codes API, which is shorter and easier to enter. However, please note that Xtream Codes are currently non-functional, and the API Codes may not work.
Authorities have targeted IPTV providers, resulting in the takedown of Xtream Codes.
Your IPTV provider will email you the Xtream Codes API and M3U playlist URL. If you have not received this information, please contact your IPTV provider.
When you select “Login with Xtream Codes API,” the following window will appear for you to enter your details:
