Installation and requirements
Star Plus TV is free to download and doesn’t take up much storage space, but there are two important requirements:

- On Android devices, you may need to enable the Unknown Sources (or Install unknown apps) option in system settings to install the APK.

If you want an alternate app with similar content, consider apps that specialize in regional serials and curated channel bundles (for example, certain "serials" packages offered by independent developers). Overall, Star Plus TV is a convenient option for watching TV while mobile because of its small footprint and built-in player. However, its reliance on an IPTV subscription and the inability to browse channels by country are limitations to weigh before installing.
