What Is the Apollo Group TV App?

The Apollo Group TV app is not a single branded application — it's the combination of your Apollo TV IPTV subscription with a compatible IPTV player app. Apollo TV provides the subscription, credentials, and content. The IPTV player app is the interface you use to watch it.

This setup gives you maximum flexibility — you can use the best available IPTV app on each device rather than being locked into one interface.

After subscribing, you receive:

  • A username and password
  • A portal URL (server address)
  • Optional M3U playlist URL

These credentials work with any compatible IPTV player app on any device.
