Philo is outstanding. It has all the channels that I need. For the price I can afford. Thank You! FINALLY! A streaming service that doesn’t add all sorts of channels you don’t watch for an affordable price. BUT I was wondering if you will ever have a NEWS package? My husband needs FOX business and FOX news. Will it ever happen? I would pay the extra 5 dollars for that package just to make him happy. AND what happened to the guide on ipad? I had one when I did the free trial. Now I can't find one now that I downloaded new app. About the news channels that I mentioned I was just thinking of adding them as an ADD-ON feature. Like other streaming companies offer. A News Package as they call it. So there is no extra cost to your customers except for the ones that want that package. Like a sports package which I could care less about but others might like it. So those people pay extra for a sports package and the rest of us don’t have too. This is the reason I signed with you. I am tired of paying for other peoples stuff. When I don’t watch sports or HBO or music ETC. THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK! So far I am very happy with the service.
No PIP on iPad??

A video app (esp. TV) that doesn’t have PIP on iPad? Us humans can do more than one thing at a time.
Horrible customer service
1
This is the worst customer service I have ever received, I will be posting the whole conversation on social media, I ask more then once for a supervisor to contact me and nothing, this is after I was hung up on by the agent I talked to directly
When it works.

It’s nice to be able to use this app on my iPad WHEN IT WORKS. it just won’t play anything. Times out. Junk. It’s 50-50 as to whether or not it will work.
super long ads
3
over all it’s good but they have around 2 minute ads which gets annoying
Needs different quality settings
3
It’s cool and price is fine but I cancelled trial immediately because streaming from a mobile hotspot is expensive unless you have a lower quality setting. This service looks awesome on my Sony Tv but I don’t have enough GBs of hotspot to stream it. Sling tv has 4 picture quality settings. I can watch many days before needing to buy more mobile hotspot. Too bad because this has different channels than Sling tv.
Good price, BAD SERVICE!

Just as I said, Good price, BAD SERVICE! The channel selection is great for the price. The intermittent frozen screen and 2 second rewind are ridiculous! The incessant replaying of the SAME commercials in the SAME commercial break is completely insane and makes me want to cancel the service!!! I understand that is how you offset the low price BUT, REALLY!! GAP, OIL of OLAY and every MTV “I’m too old to be on tv acting like a child” shows are the biggest offenders. Corporate sellouts!! PHILO, You own it fix it! Just FYI, I am using a apple tv 4k.
Need more streaming olatoform options
3
Please make this compatible for chromecast and console platforms I really love this app and the channels but I can’t watch them on any of my devices besides my desktop and when I cast its so twitchy if I could simply use another platform like Xbox or LG Android tv I’d subscribe monthly even now with only desktop I’m debating on canceling or not all the stream channels are all my favorites and updated instantly when the shows air because it’s live it’s great! but.....
Room For Improvement
3
Although the app is promising, there are a few things that need to improve before I will spend $20 mth for the service. The amount of ads is grossly obscene and repetitive. The fact you can't skip them while watching VOD is insulting. (If I see that ridiculous Yoplait commercial ONE. MORE. TIME.) If you wind up watching a show that you get hooked on and don't save it...good luck navigating back to it, if you can't remember the name of the show. In the beginning I had movies and shows pop up in the Keep Watching list that I nor anyone else had watched? With that being said, I do like the channel selection and what the app is trying to provide but there is definite room for improvement.
Apple TV issues

The app works fine except when you attempt to exit the app, the system just hangs and you must reset the Apple TV in order to switch to another app
