This app keeps changing and most of the things I've liked except for the fact that I can't scroll while I save shows anymore. Instead I gotta go through each show or movie on the list to see if it's saved and after I do save something it goes all the way to the beginning of the list again. Super annoying .... And I really hate channels that keep disappearing. I don't see the point of deleting free channels. The moment I get interested in a show the channel disappears.

I've been absolutely thrilled with the Philo app since day one! It's incredibly easy to navigate, making streaming affordable TV a breeze for far less than its competitors. Need locals? Grab a antenna for local channels. The DVR feature lets you fast forward through pesky commercials, which is a major lifesaver. I love that when you start watching something live, it seamlessly takes you back to the beginning & love the Top tab—such a thoughtful touch!*

The OS can be cleaned up.. The "New" icon for shows pops up when it wants to.. It doesn't keep track of the shows that you've watched very well.. It's tough to determine if you've watched a certain episode yet or not.. If the rate continues to go up and the OS stays the same, you're gonna lose a customer of 4 years.. There's more stuff I could list, but we'll see what the near future brings... Not holding my breath...
