I originally started the free trial to watch The Green Mile. I’ve experienced a lot of ads for a $20 service, but nothing too overwhelming, but when I noticed that you’re not allowed to skip forward during the movie, I instantly disliked it. Even free services allow you to time skip the movie and not […]

I think the app is wonderful, it has a lot of channels that I watch. It’s would be a 5 star but my only complaints are that, I wish when watching shows on the DVR it would automatically jump to the next episode. Also, if u accidentally hit the fast forward button during an advertisement, […]
While viewing the guide, when you select a channel to watch, it keeps spinning like it’s loading. You have to return to the guide and re-select the channel and then it loads. Also, there has been lag (nothing major) where the loading symbol appears briefly and sometimes up to 15 seconds. I have gigabit and […]
Update to previous: My app is up to date and no I won’t be contacting support. You really need to work out the bugs with the connection to chromecast!!!! Today has been the worst and I’m considering canceling my subscription because I can’t watch 10-15 minutes of a movie without the connection dropping. Don’t say […]
I’m glad I haven’t put a card to my account to pay for this. The episodes play for not even 5 minutes, then it goes to the buffer symbol. Not only that, even after making sure there was no connection issues on my end, I still have issues watching anything. Seems like the company needs […]
The price is a little spendy for the level of stored content mixed with the commercial frequency, and the app isn’t available for PlayStation users (which is my primary source). They also seemingly recently removed the “New Episodes This Week Section” which was how I decided what to watch on it. Otherwise, it’s quite nice; […]
They just keep raising the price. It’s cheaper to have Hulu, Disney+, Max and Netflix all together. Used to have less advertisements and be able to skip through them and now there’s advertisements that last up to 5 minutes and pop up like every 10 minutes and you can’t skip them anymore. They’re just money […]
It has all the episodes of Mythbusters, which I like, since I am autistic and that is a comfort show for me. What I DONT like is that yall have so many ads that it turns a 45 minute episode of Mythbusters into an HOUR AND A HALF. You add nearly 30 minutes of ads […]
I’ve had philo since 2019 and while the price keeps going up, the quality isn’t. The app takes longer to load, you can only watch shows (episodes) that haven’t aired recently if you save them (possibly), all the episodes of series aren’t available, and there are increasingly more ads, and the SAME ads play over […]
17 commercials back to back! This is excessive! Especially since I pay for the service. Will not be paying for another month of this. I am paying to watch programs not commercials. I’m literally getting 10% program and 90% adds. I got the app because it has 1 program I like to watch, and at […]
Great app! To address what others are complaining about: I have vision issues and I can see everything just fine, there are the same amount of ads as every other streaming app. And this one is significantly less in price! IF YOU DONT WANT ADS DONT WATCH LIVE TV. Philo is excellent, highly recommend! So […]
Love the show options! That’s why I didn’t rate it 1 star. The excessive ads are making me want to cancel. It has gotten worse too. A 45 minute show is 2 hours long because of ads! That’s beyond ridiculous!! I literally watched 3 minutes of the show and then had over 5 minutes of […]
I’m not understanding how we’re asked to pay 25 dollars a month, and there’s still so many ads. And the ads are almost 3 mins long! Plus there’s no rewind button, you just have to guess how long ago you want to rewind it, and there’s no skip ahead button to fast forward the parts […]
My subscription is increasing from $20 to $25 in September after many years of being locked in at $20. I will probably cancel because Philo is already limited in their channels and doesn’t offer many of the major channels. And the DVR… it’s just saving a movie or program and watching it later. It’s not […]
The OS can be cleaned up.. The “New” icon for shows pops up when it wants to.. It doesn’t keep track of the shows that you’ve watched very well.. It’s tough to determine if you’ve watched a certain episode yet or not.. If the rate continues to go up and the OS stays the same, […]
Has good shows but 25 bucks a month and you have to sit through multiple minutes of adds constantly. If I’m paying that much for a subscription, I would like there to be little to NO adds Update: The pricing went up to 28 bucks a month. 30$ after taxes. If you’re watching a show, […]
Been a customer for years. Started with a T-Mobile discount code and have never left. Price has went up here and there but not much. Still way cheaper than the competition. There’s another price increase coming but they are also now including HBO and Discovery so I’m not complaining. We switched from Roku TVs to […]
The user interface across multiple devices is not great. If I start watching a show on my Samsung TV and then I come into my bedroom to either cast (from an android mobile device application) or watch directly on my old Vizio TV, the service is unable to pick up where you left off from […]
Okay so, tubi makes you watch the ads because that’s how they make money. This app also forces you to watch the ads, even though you are paying $32 a month, which is way more than it was when I tried it a year ago. That’s exactly why we’re switching from YouTube TV because they’re […]
The app doesn’t work half the time and for the amount of money you pay for monthly you would think there would be an option for commercial free. Way too many commercials. I will not be signing up a second time. Responding to the response below. I did visit the help support option and there […]
