In April I did the free trial for a week. I immediately liked it. The commercials I don’t mind bc what if you have to get up and do something when the commercial is on. It just works for me. So I paid the first month after the free trial ended and then like a week later it charged me again and I was like oh no so I canceled it. Well come to find out it charged me twice bc of apple and Philo. So like last week I set another account up, well tonight at midnight it’s suppose to charge me for the month but I wouldn’t have the fee till next week so I chatted with customer service and the chat expert was amazing! I couldn’t change the billing date bc it’s technically a free trial till midnight, well the chat expert Kyle b was amazing at helping me out. He saw that I had an account an April I expressed my concerns and he helped me out. I have a fire stick tv and the app works perfectly. When I’m watching it on my phone in the living room I don’t have an issue. I really enjoy the app and I’m very grateful that Kyle b was able to help me and resolve my issues from my first account. I plan on keeping Philo for awhile.

Add more channels and allow people to watch shows that have previously aired
ANIME IS LIFE(⌒▽⌒)☆
This app is so good because it has a lot of channels and shows that I love to watch but it’s lacking in some ways. For example you should be able to watch show that have previously aired just in case you missed an episode or want to watch a movie, I don’t know why philo allows a certain amount of channels to let you watch previously aired shows or movies, plus it dosent even tell you when you are allowed to watch it when it airs on live tv. And another concern I had was that there is no Cartoon Network channel on philo. Why? You guys have add ons for starz and epix but why no Cartoon Network or showtime? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. And the last thing I wanted to add is why do some channels not have all the seasons? For example jersey shore only has season 3 and 4, and black ink crew only has season 8 and 9, dosen’t really make sense. But overall I like the app and all the good shows it had but it needs a lot of improvements. I’m not gonna pay $25 a month just for a couple of channels when half of them you cant even watch what previously aired, some of the seasons are not even available and some channels that most people enjoy aren’t even there… i’d rather just stick to sling unless philo changes their game.

Appreciate the feedback! Normally what's available for content is decided among the network channels themselves. We do offer unlimited DVR so that you can record your shows whenever more episodes air! We're always looking to expand our lineup, so stay tuned for any new announcements. :)
High priced dysfunctional app that rarely works
A&o1229
Really disappointed in this streaming app more than any others. Can not stream anything without getting frustrated and angry because nothing will just simply play. it’s also way more expensive than most others, but with a pathetic selection of mostly older stuff to watch so I don’t understand why it’s so much more expensive. That would be fine if it actually played the one show I subscribed to be able to watch . I thought well maybe it’s just that show… but nope it’s every one. I press play it starts to stream but then immediately it starts counting down the seconds to the next episode and switches to the next episodes, & then it does it again 3 seconds into the next episode it’s counting down to the next episode. I was not able to watch 1/2 of the episodes just the few it randomly decided to actually play in full. & it’s really frustrating to even get it to do that. Given how ridiculously difficult it is to try to even watch one full episode this should be no more than FREE! This is not due to my internet connection or anything else on my end & it’s evident the app is just glitching constantly. I’ve tested this over weeks. I tried resetting the phone , also made sure the app is up to date. Will recommend nobody I know pays for this after this experience.

I was deciding to cut the cable cord and go to streaming after a year of researching I did It finally. When I read about Philo that is what was the deciding factor. Regret not doing it way way sooner I would have saved a ton of money like 200 a month is what I was paying and I pay 25 with PHILO and get tons more channels and never a problem with services.** The only issue I’ve had in my couple years with u is I was to get a $10 discount for a year when I started my t mobile internet but after only a few months it was gone I was told it’s not offered but I already had it started so nobody really cared and in the times we are in now in 2024 every little bit helps. Thank u for having such a great price and making it possible for me to enjoy all my shows not to mention paying is easy and fast no problems Please keep up the good pricing don’t follow all the ones that keep going up on prices
