Top 5 IPTV Apps with Casting Support (2025 Edition)
IPTV has completely transformed the way we watch TV. Forget about expensive cable packages—now, all you need is a solid IPTV app and a playlist, and you can stream everything from live sports to international content like Sverige IPTV right on your device. But if you're someone who prefers watching on the big screen, finding an app that supports casting is key. Whether you're using Chromecast, a smart TV, or streaming devices like Firestick, these five IPTV apps offer excellent casting features to make your viewing experience smooth and enjoyable. Ideal for: Android users looking for a slick, cable-like experience. TiviMate is a fan favorite, and it's not hard to see why. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, closely mimicking traditional TV. While it doesn't have a built-in cast button, Android users can still mirror the screen or use native casting tools, which work flawlessly with TiviMate. Highlights: Sleek and user-friendly EPG Handles multiple playlists with ease Great for live channel surfing Downsides: Only available on Android No direct casting button in the app Ideal for: Users who want flexibility and built-in Chromecast support. GSE Smart IPTV is a versatile, cross-platform app that works on Android, iOS, and even Apple TV. It supports various playlist formats (like M3U and JSON) and comes with native Chromecast support. That means you can easily stream to your TV without any extra steps. Highlights: Built-in casting support Highly customizable interface Works across multiple platforms Downsides: The interface feels a bit dated Free version contains ads Ideal for: Viewers who want premium features with direct casting options. iMPlayer might not be as widely known yet, but it's gaining traction fast. It has a modern layout, supports both live and on-demand content, and yes—includes Chromecast casting. It's a paid app, but well worth it if you want a polished experience. Highlights: Native casting support VOD and EPG support Regular updates and support Downsides: Paid app only Limited to Android devices Ideal for: Anyone looking for a straightforward app with strong casting capabilities. One of the most popular IPTV apps around, IPTV Smarters Pro offers a user-friendly experience with support for live TV, series, movies, and more. It also has native Chromecast integration, making casting as simple as tapping a button. Highlights: Direct casting support Compatible with Xtream Codes, M3U, etc. Clean and intuitive design Downsides: iOS version is more limited Occasional streaming issues on weaker connections 5. Kodi (with IPTV Add-ons) Ideal for: Tech-savvy users who love to customize. Kodi isn't strictly an IPTV app, but with the right add-ons, it can be a powerful IPTV player. It supports casting through devices like Chromecast and smart TVs, especially if you install casting add-ons or use screen mirroring. It's not the easiest to set up, but the payoff is huge. Highlights: Extremely customizable Tons of IPTV and video add-ons Works across most platforms Downsides: Not beginner-friendly Requires setup time and effort When it comes to IPTV apps with casting support, your ideal choice depends on what device you're using and how much customization you want. For a plug-and-play experience, IPTV Smarters Pro and GSE Smart IPTV are great choices. For a polished, TV-like feel, TiviMate or iMPlayer are solid picks. And if you're up for some tweaking, Kodi gives you the freedom to create your perfect setup. No matter what you choose, make sure you're pairing your app with a quality IPTV playlist—whether it's for sports, movies, or Sverige IPTV content. The right combo will turn your casting setup into a powerful, cable-free entertainment hub. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
