iPhone Chinese Entertainment Apps

One of the good China VPN is 爱加速. The server numbers seem to be higher than Transocks and SpeedIn.

Now you need to pay though. Free account is only for limited servers and 20 minutes session.

Paying through Apple is more expensive.

Paying through Wechat Pay or Alipay is cheaper.

Does anyone know the difference between annual and 12 month VIP subscription for MGTV?

I saw the offer was

Annual: $33.99 (30%off?)
12 months: $29.99

I am not sure the difference between them.

They are the same. But 12 months $29.99 will have auto-renewal. So you have to remember to cancel before expire date if you do not want to continue.

For soccer fans who are okay with Chinese.

PPTV Sports is pretty cheap if you understand Chinese but you need to add China VPN like AJS爱加速.

Ref: RMB48 per month for all soccer (first month RMB22); RNB518 if you pay yearly. RMB33 per month just for EPL or La Liga or Bundesliga.

It is good for TV app as well (the app is called CIBN聚体育).

AJS VPN
RMB20 per month, RMB53 per quarter, RMB198 per year.

Total price RMB (22+48*11+198)= RMB 748 ≈ S$150 per year.

3 months of SingTel Cast Sports Plus cost S$144.

Try the following.

1) Register a Taobao account.

2) Then log in your Youku mobile phone app with Taobao account. And then use the mobile phone Youku app to scan the QR code on the TV app.

3) Within the Youku TV app (酷喵影视), buy the TV VIP, you should be able to use Singapore credit card to pay for the VIP, just like what you do for other Taobao purchase.

The contents are pretty different, especially for the popular ones, often iQiyi and Tencent have the best new contents, Youku is lagging behind. Mango TV has some unique contents as well especially for variety shows.

I will suggest you start with the free WeTV and iQiyi international version (no need VPN) to have a taste of the contents.

Comparison for year 2020 in Chinese.

It still brings me to alipay only. It does not give me the option to pay through taobao

Install Alipay app and use your Taobao account to log in. The account is linked.

There was a report of success using such method. But I have not tried myself.

is there a list of how's the subscription likes? for iQiyi, Tencent and Mango?

Not so sure what you mean. But all these three (iQiyi, Tencent Video and Mango TV) require China VPN if you want to subscribe to the mainland China version. The payment can be a problem as well if you only have Singapore credit card. The user experiences with the mainland China VPN can be frustrating as well. You may need to pay for the VPN and you may not get 1080p consistently (720p usually no issues).

The international version do not need VPN (1080p no problem) and you can pay through Apple App Store or Google Play Store, but the contents are less and the VIP is not cheap. Still the free international version is not bad.

You need to take note usually the TV version is more expensive. The name of the TV apps are also different as they are operated by partners. You can use Dangbei market or Shafa market to download the TV version of the apps.

Not subscribed to iQiyi, but yes you still need VPN as far as I know.

You can subscribe to Transocks VPN or AJS爱加速 VPN. I myself just subscribed to AJS爱加速 (RMB 198 for 12 months).

There is an iQiyi international version without the need for VPN, but the VIP is more expensive (S$8.98 for Gold membership and S$12.98 per month for Diamond membership) and yet the contents are less. You can pay through the Apple app store or Google Play Store though. And the good thing is that the free version is not bad. You can try the free version first.

 

[xiaofan]

The following apps are top VOD apps from Shafa market, for Android TV boxes only.

1) Tencent Video TV version 腾讯视频TV版 （云视听极光）

2) iQiYi TV version 银河奇艺果

3) Mango TV 芒果TV

(The above three got international version apps without the need for VPN. The international version is called WeTV, iQiYi International version and Mango TV international version).

4) Bilibili TV version 云视听小电视

5) Youku TV version 酷喵影视

6) More TV 云视听电视猫 (include Tencent Video contents)

7) Sohu Video TV version 云视听悦厅TV

8) PPTV 聚精彩 (VOD and live sports like EPL)

720p in general no issues. 1080p usually okay but sometimes choppy. Tested with Tencent Video TV version. Take note 蓝光 means 1080p for the China video apps.

Edit to add:
Just tested iQiyi mainland China version as well with AJS 爱加速 on my Mi Box S. 1080p is okay. But I think this may not be always the case.

BTW, if you need to have more simultaneous log-ins, then Transocks is cheaper than AJS.

And I have yet to try many servers in AJS so that is probably the potential reasons why sometimes it gets choppy at 1080p.

You can always try one month first to see if you like it or not, either for the China VPN or for the China video apps.

Edit to add:
Tried AJS with iQiyi TV again and indeed got problems with 1080p, 720p no issues.
