‘App By Pakistanis, For Pakistanis’
Tapmad TVÂ is an app that offers iOS and Android users the ability to watch television in the palm of their hands.
The app has 140 live TV channels, which include all news channels as well as other international channels such as BBC World News and National Geographic.
Tapmad TV serves a great purpose for the people who are always on-the-go. To add more flexibility, the company also introduced a ‘Catch Up’ feature which helps the users to record and download content for future viewing.
While briefing the audience about the concept behind the app, Yassir Pasha, Founder and CEO of Tapmad TV stated that 2017 will be the year of mobile entertainment in Pakistan.
He shared a fun fact that watching movies and videos is the third most popular activity among people in the world, after sleeping and working.
”With more than 1 million minutes of data being consumed on our app in the past three months’, I expect Tapmad TV to lead this change,” he added.
Mr. Pasha also proudly announced that the entire team of Tapmad TV, including the developers were wholly and solely Pakistanis and stated, ”The app is by Pakistanis, for Pakistanis”.
Go Premium For Rs. 250
Mr. Pasha also shed some additional light on the Tapmad TV app. He said that users can avail Premium for just Rs. 250 per month, which will enable them to view content in HD quality.

Whats new in this ProPK? I am been using Tapmad TV for very long now and its all free…
Janaab, It’s a Sponsored article. Absolutely nothing is new. They just want to sell it to more people, hence they used ProPK’s platform to advertise the “old” product, to gain customers and earn money :P
If you bothered consulting the 2nd line, what’s new is its official launch. :)
Their should be an option to cast the tv channels to Google Chromecast device. That would be great option, IMO.
here is the further information in case developers wants to take this suggestion serious.
hor le aoo DTH……. DTH will be DOA now.

lol!! so outdated …anot not free
I am not sure since when ProPakistani started to support/promote “illegal/Pirated website/apps” Even if this is a “SPONSORED” story.
SPONSORED story doesn’t mean that you should advertise illegal stuff, Piracy is not a “victimless crime”.
90% of their content is illegal providing cam prints of the movies still running in the cinemas.
I hope my comment will not get deleted by the admin, I am a loyal reader of propakistani and i hope that you will give us a honest reply.
