Is the Opus IPTV App Safe to Use?

The best way to determine the safety of IPTV apps is by scanning them with a virus checker such as VirusTotal.

As you can see, the Opus IPTV application is clean and free of malicious files.

However, users should still proceed with caution using protective measures such as a VPN which will encrypt your online connection and make you completely anonymous.

Final Thoughts from Troy

Opus IPTV stands out for its cross-platform support and ability to sync playlists across 5 devices with a single account.

However, we don’t recommend paying for the premium version when there are superior live TV players available for Apple TV devices like Chillio or UHF.
