For the price, it's unbeatable. My issue, though, is the channel guide it isn't set up like other channel guides on other platforms. The channel guide looks like saved content. You can't watch something on one channel and search the channel guide for something else without the channel you're watching closing down. It would be great if Philo had that option.

Hi Kawanda, thank you for sharing your thoughts on Philo! The browse-while-watching feature is currently available on Roku devices but will be coming to other platforms soon.

I'm not understanding how we're asked to pay 25 dollars a month, and there's still so many ads. And the ads are almost 3 mins long! Plus there's no rewind button, you just have to guess how long ago you want to rewind it, and there's no skip ahead button to fast forward the parts I already seen. I just wanted to watch JSFV season 6&7 and this is the only place to watch it. So pleeease either lower your monthly cost or get rid of there being soooo many ads!!!

Hi there! Ad breaks are predetermined by the network's schedule which we don't have control over, however, your subscription includes an unlimited DVR feature so you can fast-forward through them. To learn more about how to rewind/fast-forward on Philo, please visit: help.philo.com/using-philo/fast-forward 💙️

This app has a few issues that needs to be adjusted. When streaming on the tv it pauses about every 7 minutes, it doesn't automatically play the next episode when binge watching, and it disconnects from the TV after 25 minutes without warning, it could at least ask if you're still watching like Netflix. Also for $25 a month there should be no commercials.

Hi Rachel, the recent app update addresses these issues. If you continue to have trouble, please contact us at philo.com/contact. Autoplay ensures that the next episode (if there is one) will begin playing automatically and ad breaks follow the network's schedule, just like cable TV. You can also FF through them using your unlimited DVR feature!

What's new

- Experience of moving from screen to screen while onboarding has been improved.
- Fixed the blank screen issue when trying to play something.
- Fixed going back from edit sign-in information screen
