Lots of ads

By Unhappy app banker   

Some shows have a lot of ads even if you have them saved to your unlimited DVR. You can’t fast forward through them. And let me tell you, there are so many and the same ones over and over. You will have to be good with stress lol. I figured out a way to help myself, I just mute them sometimes, drown them out somehow lol, for my mental state haha. However, some shows we can fast forward through , those I love! So it’s not all bad with Philo. Also, Philo has excellent customer service which is why I added a star. This app is extremely user friendly, another plus. But someday I hope to get an app without all the ads, that would be nice! Anyways, thank you for reading! Happy tv watching! 😄

With Philo, you can DVR all your favorite shows as they air on live TV and skip all the ads on your recordings! For more information on the built-in unlimited DVR feature, visit: philo.tv/dvr
Update 5/29/24: Apologies for the frustration - we don't have control over the network's ad break schedule. To provide you with a better experience, your subscription includes unlimited DVR so you can record your faves and fast-forward through commercials. For additional assistance, feel free to give us a shout at philo.com/contact.

5/31: Hi there! We hope we were able to help clear up some confusion.
When you Save a show to your DVR, we'll record all upcoming episodes - they will then be marked with DVR tags giving you the green light to fast-forward. On-demand content cannot be fast-forwarded.
You will find both DVR and on-demand shows in the Saved tab so you can watch episodes before they are recorded - those marked with VOD tags will be recorded when they air again on live TV, however, the DVR feature does not retroactively record previously aired shows.
We also have a handy article that you can check out at our Help Center that explains more about fast-forwarding rules on Philo: help.philo.com/using-philo/fast-forward
Our core package is $28 a month starting June 12th for new and returning subscribers. If you're already subscribed to Philo, you can stick with your current package or upgrade to get access to AMC+. For full details, please check out the announcement from our CEO, Andrew McCollum at blog.philo.com/philo-adds-amc-and-new-package-changes/
We'll also be happy to assist you with any other questions or concerns you may have. Please reach out to us for help anytime!

Waste of time

By Marioj832   

Want to charge you $25 a month when basically you could download the same app Tubi and they got the same similar movies. Do not waste your time. It doesn’t even work for free trial. I’m going to cancel it. I tried for 20 minutes and I was already disappointed.

Fix the Roku/tv version

By Chainbanger2001   

It is great but I would like to see it similar to the iPhone version where I can click on my recordings on the show
Also it would be nice if you made a selection beside the Alphabetically and saved shows and put a recording selection to where it only showed shows that had recordings and only showed recorded episodes on the show!!!
Thanks

ADVERTISEMENTS with DVR!!

By Unhappy app banker    (This Review has been Deleted)

UPDATE: The developer responds saying to use the DVR to record and then be able to fast forward through the ad commercials but this is exactly what I’m doing and it doesn’t work on many shows. I’m not watching live tv, I’m watching things that are on the DVR, things that have already been shown/aired, meaning, on demand shows/seasons. It won’t let me fast forward through the commercials, and let me tell you there are SO many ads from just one episode, it’s unbelievable. There are only SOME shows that we can fast forward through the ads, but soooo many that we can’t. And now Philo is raising their prices?? I don’t think Philo developers understand how this works, they think we can just fast forward when we watch on demand but its just not true what they are saying and claiming. I’ll give an example, I saved finding Bigfoot to be in my DVR, that’s the only way to get on DVR, to save it. Then, it gives you seasons and episodes to watch that have already aired. And sure enough, MASSIVE AMOUNT OF ADS THAT I CANNOT FAST FORWARD THROUGH. IM NOT WATCHING IT LIVE, IM SAVING RECORDING AND WATCHING THROUGH MY DVR BUT I CANT FAST FORWARD THROUGH THE ADS. I removed 3 stars because I am so tired of all these advertisement commercials!!!! I’m watching ON DEMAND and NOT live tv and it’s full of advertisements that we cannot fast forward through because they have it locked, and there are SO MANY! This is a paid service yet I have to be continually tortured with all these ads!!! I’m sorry but I’m just really really frustrated about this.

Can you Please fix the DVR thing. At first when I press a episode from a saved show, or press a saved Movie. It is NOT showing the RECENT recording from the episode, or the movie. It’s been happening since 5/7/24. Please fix the dvr/recording so I can watch the recent recording/dvr.

Foul play..

By Mrs. TIff Gant   

It’s alright until you cancel your subscription but they still take money from you so you call them about it and for some odd reason they can’t your account and of course can’t give a refund for an app you don’t have and for a subscription that you cancelled 2 MONTHS AGO 😡🤬 someone owes me $50.
