Why Reely comes out on top

  • Beautiful metadata, automatically

    Reely enriches your content with TMDB posters, ratings, trailers, and cast info out of the box. No manual matching, no bare filenames.

  • Real multi-profile support

    Each family member gets their own space with PIN protection and kids age restrictions. A feature most media players simply don't offer.

  • Full Trakt.tv integration

    Bidirectional sync for scrobbling, watchlists, and custom lists. Not just basic scrobbling, but full two-way list management.

  • Modern streaming UI

    Reely looks and feels like a premium streaming service, not a channel list from 2010. Every detail has been thought through.

  • Skip intro & credits

    Community-powered skip buttons for intros, recaps, and credits, on every source. A Pro feature still rare among media players.

  • Cross-platform freedom

    Android, Android TV, Windows, Linux, macOS, and iOS, with the same experience everywhere. Your profiles and progress follow you across devices.

The verdict

iMPlayer is a solid player. But Reely goes further with a modern interface, rich metadata, proper multi-profile support, full Trakt sync, and unique features like skip intro and credits. With a generous free plan, you have nothing to lose and a much better experience to gain.
