✓ Is there an Ad-Free Philo option?So far, I’ve been enjoying Philo, I’m at day 5 of the 7 day trial. I’ve been able to watch many of the shows that I enjoy and some that I’m unable to get by using any other Apps. Using other Apps, I’ve been able to find 70%+ of what I like to watch. Philo seems to be a good alternative, however because I’ve been using only ad-free Apps for the past couple years, Philo seems to have way to many ads. I don’t see an Ad-Free option? If there is an Ad-Free option and it’s a reasonable price, I would purchase the upgrade in a heartbeat. I’m not sure if that is an option, if not, I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to wait through the ads. These ads are between 2-6 minutes long, I don’t want to spend my leisure time watching promotional ads for things I don’t need, nor care about. If there is an inexpensive upgrade (remembering that the cost is already high for Philo) I would either upgrade to that or stop the service. I just don’t want to spend the limited time that I have on weekends, watching promotional ads for unneeded products or services..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Good app!Overall I like the app and service. Two things I hope improve in the future. 1. When going through the guide it would be good if the channel you are/were currently watching plays in the background while searching for something else to watch. 2. There needs to be a refresh button on the guide section. Sometimes when I open the app (Apple TV) it goes straight to the guide as that was the last place I was when closing the app out. Upon returning the next day, it goes to the guide section but shows what was going to be coming on for the time frame it was when I left instead of updating to what’s currently coming on now..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Love hate relationshipI have been a customer for a few months now and love everything about it until two days ago…while watching on my Apple TV the app keeps force closing while watching, I have went to see if I needed to update the app on the device and it says it’s fine, I love this app but this is making me really mad. I have updated my Apple TV, reset it just to make sure that it’s not the device and it still force closes. Could anyone help me with this issue please?.Version: 2.4.2
✓ A bit disappointedI have many streaming services I pay for which is less than this one. I just joined today and I’m sad that the shows that they have on here are only certain seasons. Most of the other services show all the seasons and again for less money. I’d think for paying 20 a month would have more so yes I’m a bit disappointed. On a good note I am enjoying some of the shows I haven’t been able to watch in a while and a channel I’ve wanted to watch but don’t get on cable..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Highly RecommendI’ve been using Philo for years now I’ve tried multiple competitor apps all of them are either overpriced with less channels, don’t have very many network channel, don’t have all the channels I want in the same package you’ll have to buy multiple packages Philo is the most reasonable priced(I’m almost certain it’s the most affordable) with the most network channels (most importantly they have all the channels I wanted available for one low monthly rate)than any app of its kind you can’t go wrong with philo.Version: 2.6.0
✓ Love itUpdating my review from a few weeks ago from 4 stars to 5. I use this on several platforms and with one or two quick clicks, you can skip the entire commercial break on anything you record. Amazing. IDK why so many negative reviews about ads. It’s a live TV service, of course there are ads. That’s why I record everything so I can zip through all the commercials. The only problem I had recently was I couldn’t remove anything from continue watching on my phone app, but that has now been fixed. Customer service is good too. 👍🏼👍🏼.Version: 3.7.0
✓ Better and WorseI think Philo is an absolutely amazing platform. Everything about it is great, really. There’s just one thing that should be tweaked. There are more ads than any other streaming platform at more frequent intervals than any other place as well. For 25 dollars a month, if you do the math you can quickly calculate that by the amount of ads you’re forced to watch you realize that you shouldn’t be paying so much. My suggestion is maybe lower the monthly price even if it’s not by a crazy amount. Philo needs to show it’s not greedy, by doing this I’m confident people will respect the platform even more and use it more than other video platforms. Which would be great for Philo. The balance is off after all, anyone who knows about ad revenue knows this company is making a lot of money in an almost actually unfair way since it charges so much per month when it’s the King of commercial breaks currently. Though I say all this I’ve never seen a company take anything except it’s own advice and that goes for every company on earth. There’s always going to be a lot of greediness so all I can do is cross my fingers and hope that maybe people and things are actually capable of change. Anyways, love where Philo is going and hope that it continues to do things right and great as it has been..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Love it!My husband and I finished the three seasons of Yellowstone on Paramount+ and decided we couldn’t stop there, so we subscribed to Philo. I’m so excited to watch all the Hallmark movies and Alaska PD. The amount of media and the option to record and skip through the ads is great. I haven’t used it yet, but I will in the future. Great deal for what you’re paying, in my opinion. Also, their customer service is great. I’m having issues with Chromecasting, and their service team helped me as much as possible. I was even disconnected, and the sales rep emailed me with extra steps I could follow. They didn’t work, but I think it just might be a glitch. It’s the thought that counts!.Version: 2.5.4
✓ Awesome Awesomeness!!!I’ve been with Philo for over a year and I love the price and I love the shoes it literally has every show I watch on regular cable without that high price. I really love that I can see the newest episodes live or right after they aired and I love missed them; I don’t even have to record them just save the network channel or show itself and you will see the latest. Best tv app for the price, oh you can also cast it to your smart tv if ur unable to get the app on your device..Version: 3.3.3
✓ Love it!I have Philo on my tv and I had it on my phone to watch my shows on the go, but for what ever reason I got logged out from my phone. It still works on my tv and I love it because so many of my favorite shows are on there and the price is great! The app on my phone does not give the option to log in. I’m thinking maybe it’s my phone generation, an iPhone 12 mini. Is anyone else having this problem or is it just me? Either way, I love my Philo!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ UPDATE to 5 star review…New review: I’m now giving it 5 stars because they fixed it. I can finally FF through the ads. There are so many ads but as long as I can FF through them then I will keep the service. Thank you! Previous review: My goodness, the ads come FREQUENTLY and you can’t skip/ff through most of them. So frustrating. UPDATE: I am watching a LMN movie on my Philo DVR/Saved and it will ‘not’ let me fast forward this way either. Maybe Philo is unaware of this? Once it gets fixed then I will add more stars..Version: 3.7.2
✓ Love philoI picked Philo after taking a good look at what I actually watched on cable. I discovered that there were only a few channels that I actually watched. I was totally wasting my money plus cable was always raising my costs every month. It was a little stressful cutting out cable. I researched the ruku idea and found subscriptions that I could add that had a channel for every program we watched. The only one was Philo. I’m adjusting to missing my favorite news channels but Philo is great. I could not be happier with the hundreds of dollars it saves me. And I mean hundreds. I’m sorry that I’ve wasted so much money all of these years. Thank you Ruko and Philo..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Can’t beat the quality/price/channels and supportI don’t leave reviews very often, but thought this might come in handy for someone (perhaps fellow apes) that research as much as I do. I could not recommend Philo any higher!! The user interface is seamless across every platform. Whether streaming on my smart TV, laptop, or phone, there are absolutely no hiccups between stopping on one device and resuming at the same point on a new one. In terms of navigation, it’s so simple that even apes love using it. I was nervous about cancelling my cable and only having Philo, but as soon as I made the change, my reservations were gone. Philo is a game changer! It’s been able to help me budget better while not sacrificing what I love, which is TV shows! And crayons.. and tendies. I like the app..Version: 2.0.0
✓ It’s okayIt works but cuts out a lot and on my iPhone there is no sound. I’m updating to four starts from three and although I got the sound to work on my phone it still cuts out all the time and says no Internet I have the fastest Internet available and an excellent connection on all of my firesticks so I do not get that if that would stop I’d upgrade to 5 stars it’s a good deal for decent lineup I’m only missing a few channels that you get on another service.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Lovin this app!!!I’m in the trial stage now and wow. I’m so impressed with the content available in this app. And the price is is really so good too. I can’t believe I get all this at the basic level for only $25 a month. I read others can use my account too with no up charges which is super nice cause my son only occasionally gets a chance to watch tv. Another thing I like a ton is the fast connection when u get on app but how I can flip chs while the speed of keeping is still there. Quality pic too!! Like I said I’m very impressed with this app!!!!!.Version: 3.6.0
✓ Much better than when it was new BUT…I tried Philo when it first came out and quickly switched back to ATT TV Now. I came back to try it out again becasue I really like the channel line up with the price. After several months of use, it was the right choice for me. BUT you recently updated and while the larger view in the guide is great, the app constantly crashes after about an hour of watching. It’s really awful. Please get this fixed!.Version: 2.4.2
✓ Was real good… butMy husband introduced to me to this platform as I was looking for a service that I can watch on my IPad. In the beginning the service was awesome. Now I can’t even get the app to open to where I can watch live TV on my iPad. It shows the blue philo word like it’s loading in the background then crashes. such a setback. I would like to watch the service I’m paying monthly for. Outside of this issue, it’s a good platform for anyone looking for live tv service at an affordable price. 👍🏽💯. Hope this gets resolved soon..Version: 2.2.1
✓ Philo Best kept secretI never heard anyone say this before but I think that philo is streamings Best kept secret because it’s a greatStreaming Service it has A lot of the channels that I like all the different types. But you don’t see it everywhere and you don’t hear about it everywhere. But maybe that’s good because if it was everywhere it would not have the channels I like they would have the same type of stuff that is on the other streaming services.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Great price love networksWe cut the cable and satellite 2 years ago November, we needed a service provider for Halmark, HGTV, TLC, Uptv and many more non sports related, so we tried Philo, $20 per month, and added tv antenna for local stations, great service and we can watch it in Hotel rooms while out of town. Love the save feature and we don’t miss a program we really love. Great for the whole family. Thank you Philo for affordable television service..Version: 3.3.2
✓ Nice app for a well balanced serviceThe app works really well. It’s snappy, video quality is good and seems well rounded. As for the service itself, the channels selection as really good at this price level. In my case I have Philo for the cord-cutter needs and then some of the other on-demand streaming behemoths to complete the deal. I believe the end result is way better and much cheaper than what I was paying for basic cable. Keep up the good work..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Is it worth it?Philo is loved in my household. It’s truly enjoyed. But I barely watch it. I have to pay for extra services in order to watch USA, Fox, and Cartoon Network. Plus my sports. By that time I am pretty much paying the same amount for what your competitors charges. Instead of having several subscriptions. I can spend the same for just one subscription. Not going to happen though. I just keep praying that Philo will add some more networks to their lineup. I would spend a bit more on the subscription if those networks were added to the lineup. Plus I would love to see Philo added to the Xfinity Flex box..Version: 3.4.8
