Great price and works awesome

I used Direct tv now and it didn’t even come close to this. It was considered a decent price I paid 35 and they jumped it up to 40. This was with 60 channels. This has 40 channels for 16 bucks and it’s all the channels I like. My daughter misses Disney jr but it not a big deal. This application opens quickly and the shows start quickly. I love the dvr and it has no limit. Also the simple process to login is awesome. You guys are doing an awesome job and I know once android support comes along others will enjoy this also. Keep up the good work and making tv affordable and enjoyable again.

Good service and value, Need a few features

And I tried all the streaming services, and this is the best value for the money. My major complaint would be the need for a guide and ability to minimize just the app so it will continue to run in other apps, Like DIRECTV NOW and PlayStation Vue

Way too many ads

I’m paying for this every month and there are 3 minute long ads every 5-10 minutes. I’m paying less money with Hulu every month and that’s even INCLUDING the extra purchase for no commercials. This app should have a no ads option, and charge for it. I can’t stand it.

Love Philo

I haven’t gotten into the app much but the service itself is amazing. The lowest price I have ever paid to have all of the channels that I watch.!

Bugs

I absolutely LOVE the amount of networks and shows available on this service! I had been hoping for something not too expensive and offered all of my shows. Yay! Philo is a perfect match! My only quam is that the shows have glitches. A lot. I have to exit out of it and then go back into the episode I am watching. All. Of. The. Time. I still enjoy the service and will most likely keep it.

???

Why can’t I sign up for it ?

No sports!

App could have been a great replacement for my wife and I from cable but there are no sport channels at all. Must have sports

---

So close to perfect

With additional channels this would be the perfect app to replace cable!! It is easy to use and works in a way that makes sense. I am using as a way to watch all of my Christmas Hallmark Movies but if additional channels are added I would switch over permanently.

Doesn’t work with HDMI to lighting converter

I watch all my shows on my iPhone with a lighting to HDMI converter hooked up to my TV via HDMI cable because I have no WiFi, only unlimited cell service and a hotspot that gets throttled after 15 gigs are used monthly. I get sound and no picture. I really wanted to like it since it’s a cheaper option for streaming live TV. Until they fix this issue I won’t be subscribing.

Rip off!

Says you can cancel anytime. Most other providers let you cancel and still use whatever time you have left on your subscription with out stopping the service. Philip cancels the account immediately and stops your access from viewing even if you’ve already paid for the full month. I cancelled with almost a full month left over. They immediately blocked access to my remaining time. I basically gave them money for nothing I return. Not good! They do not prorate if you stop. Finding the right date to cancel yet still avoid a new bill with out losing money is a challenge if you’re busy.
