Android, Google Play review in progress

The IPTV player that feels like streaming.

Your playlists, the way streaming should feel. Flikker plays the playlist you already pay for. It opens in a second, never leaves you staring at a frozen stream, and helps you find something to watch without digging through four hundred categories.

Why people switch

  • Opens in a second, not in four minutes

    Your channels and library live on the phone in a local database. The guide is there the moment the app opens, even with fifty thousand channels and two hundred thousand titles. No spinner. No progress bar to stare at.

  • A dead stream fixes itself

    Providers stall. Most players make you change the channel or go hunting in buffer settings. Flikker already knows every copy of the channel in your playlist, so when the picture freezes or the feed drops it switches to another feed of the same channel in about two seconds. You stay on the channel and never touch a setting.

  • Flick, do not scroll

    Swipe and the next channel slides in under your finger, with what is on now and next. It is the quickest way to see what is on. We have not found another player that does it.

  • One card per channel, one card per movie

    No more HD, FHD and 4K copies of the same channel in a list. They sit in one row with a quality picker, and those spare feeds are what the failover uses. A movie that appears five times becomes one card with a versions list.

  • Find something in seconds

    Home shows what you were watching and what is new. Your library filters to your language first. Provider tags are cleaned out of names. Search forgives typos. Stuck? Pick one for me.

  • Free stays free

    The app you download is the full single-device app: live, movies, series, search, flick and failover, with no ads, no tracking and no account needed. Your playlist login never leaves your phone.

  • Personal and Family, for more than one screen

    The optional plans carry your playlists, favorites, profiles and where you left off to every device you sign in on, at a price shown with tax included. Your playlist login is encrypted on your phone before it syncs, and Flikker cannot read it.

A look inside

  • Home decides for you. Continue watching, new arrivals, and Pick one for me.
  • Your channels, the moment it opens. Kept on the phone. No spinner, even with 50,000 channels.
  • Flick to the next channel. Swipe up. The next channel tunes in about a second.
  • Movies, sorted for people. Rails by genre and decade. Provider tags gone from every title.
  • Search that forgives typos. Runs on the device. Misspell it and still find it.
  • Clean names, real details. Plot, rating and runtime in one place. No provider tags.
  • Series that keep your place. Seasons in order. Resume where you stopped.
  • Pick the quality once. Auto, 4K, FHD, HD or SD. Feeds are chosen to match.

Who it is for

  • Your phone, first

    Most players are built for a TV box and treat the phone as an afterthought. Flikker started on the phone: flick, portrait live TV, controls you can reach with one hand. The TV version follows the same idea.

  • The rest of the household

    One person sets up the box. Everyone else should be able to open the app and watch. A home screen that decides for you, a PIN on adult categories, and a layout that does not need a manual.

  • Coming from another player

    Same provider, same login, a different experience. Add your playlist and your channels are there in about a minute. Nothing to migrate and nothing to lose if you go back.

What it is not

  • No contentYou bring the playlist. Flikker ships none.
  • No adsNothing to skip, now or later.
  • No account neededOpen the app and add a source. Accounts are optional, and the paid plans stay optional too.
