Yes love the app but the commercials are 5-10 minutes and now the show is gone off understand advertising is necessary but they can cut back on them for the money they want every month I just want to enjoy my show without all the interruptions every 2 scenes!!!!!!!!!

Ok, I lo e the streaming app, however, do you think it would be possible to stop, or at least reduce the number of commercials for Lighting Casino. I mean really, 3 to 4 ads during very break. I must say, it seems like a little much.

I'm so surprised that I paid basically 30$ for one month of service. With a few 3 minute long commercials, plus all the 15 seconds & 1 -2 minutes ads. Why? Philo use to be amazing. I don't know what's happened.

Basically...they are good for the price HOWEVER...they false advertise...Paramount Plus is in the original package when I first purchased it, now it's not I can not get Yellowstone 1923 thru them...they tell me oh well buy it thru Paramount directly for $8.00 mo...there goes their great deal. Get in writing not just the service included programs too!!

Philo works great on the TV in my family room. But it works the way it's supposed to about 40% of the time on my second TV. Often I can't watch the recorded version of shows on my second TV - only the video-on-demand version is available, which has numerous very long commercials that I cannot skip. If I watch half of a two-hour show and try to watch the second half on my second TV by pressing "continue," most of the time it won't work without watching multiple long commercials. So I mostly end up watching recorded shows in two parts on my family room TV unless I want to sit through 35 to 40 minutes of commercials on the hour I have left of a show. So if you only have one TV it works great. If you have more than one TV and expect it to work the same on both TVs, most of the time it won't. My impression is meh.

Well, Philo is great, if: You're not into sports or news. Has a bunch of channels, and I'm paying $20/month, as I got it before it went to $25/month It's horrible if you have a technical question, issue, or a problem. You call the number and get some third world country in a different hemisphere. They are completely useless. Spent 20 minutes discussing my problem. Not only wasn't it corrected, but.. the rep. I spoke to escalated it, and.a technical person was supposed to call me today, 1/27/24 at 1 pm EST. It's now 5:30 pm, and nothing. I'm not going to hold my breath. These companies outsource their support services to other countries. Unfortunately, the only people who suffer the consequences are their customers. I'm not ready to cut ties with Philo, yet....but certainly looking at other options.

Streaming is fine but not impressed the slightest with the excessive pro liberal commercials aired. 52 planned parenthood commercials during one movie????? Seriously

Just got Philo. Unfortunately, it does not include Bravo TV and there are way too many commercials. I didn't realize I wouldn't be able to watch Bravo without my Verizon so now I can't watch my favorite channel. Will probably cancel Philo soon.
