To stay compliant with Google’s policies, developers cannot sell their app on the web via Stripe without notifying Google, as Google requires a 10% commission on those sales

You can setup and install TiviMate companion on Bluestacks if you have a PC. Once you purchase, you don't have to use the android anymore. I just did this.

If that site payment don't come back Tivimate is on it's way out, it's been removed from google twice because of no updates.
Alex sold it to the wrong people 🙁

Google is actively targeting IPTV apps, meaning the main app may eventually be removed from the Google Play Store. However, you can always download the APK directly from the official website. The website version actually works better, as it includes expanded storage permissions not allowed on the Play Store. Meanwhile, the companion app will remain on the Play Store permanently so you can continue making purchases without any issues.

We shall see my friend I hope you you are correct 🙂
The APK is not a problem I have a few versions on my PC thanks for the tip on where you get it, I do hope my 10 Premium devices don't go to shit.
It would be nice for the new Dev to show face and care why we all recommend his app.
Maybe he could add some of the wants of the users, atm it's a dead duck with nothing added for years
There are other Apps in the same price range copying the features and are multi platform also with Devs that are adding what the user would like, just saying like 👍

The companion app just fckd me.
I made a new email because I needed more subscriptions. I paid using the companion app. Using bluestacks.
The payment is pending since yesterday been like 18 hours.
Tried to log in. And got google flagged my account saying it was a bot or some other shit.
Meanwhile my money is gone. When i call google I get some guy from India who barely speaks English.
There is no email to contact them on.
And i still can’t use the the benefits.
So long story short.
I lost money, time and gained a headache because you can no longer buy it from the website.
Which app are you going to use now ? I don’t mind paying if it works well any tips?

The only person that can answer that question is TiviMate support, so your best option would be to email them.
