Just too many ads, as much time for ads as content..after 45 minutes or so this is too annoying and tedious to enjoy show

I a perplexed that they ask for me to upgrade to watch certain things, when in fact, I am already paying for premium!?! So wtf? It has a lot of programming I enjoy, but like many have already stated too many commercials. and I agree that inappropriate ones are playing on "family and children oriented channels". I could careless about the adult oriented commercials on the adult channels, but it's widely inappropriate on cartoon and family channels ffs! The length of the commercials are utterly ridiculous.

This app freezes so much but what's most annoying is all they're showing is disgusting insect commercials during shows and movies. Every commercial is about gross roaches. Do better PHILO WE ARE PAYING FOR THIS SERVICE! I may cancel for this reason

I contacted tech service to let thrm know that 2 of my regularly scheduled programs aren't airing on the right night or not until the next week. They lied about fixing the issue. Offered me a free month and then turned around and changed my acct. I cancelled my subscription after 1 year with them.

I was one of their first subscribers for Philo I liked it I used to watch scrubs on there and then they said you can save your videos and I tried saving them scrubs cuz they took it off now they're doing the same thing with two and a half Men it's like you can only watch what they want you to watch and I used to like them I mean the fees were good I'm still in pain 21 dollars cuz I've never missed a payment notice that they're getting greedier now they went up to $28 to went from 21 to 25 to 28 now what next year they're going to start charging 36 37 so I think I'm going to say goodbye cuz I get better shows with live TV on a freevees and tube and Pluto and if you stop a show to go do something you want to get back to the same show you're watching you can't cuz it'll push you right to the next show. So think this was my last month paying wish you all the best but your doing with two and half Men as you did with scrubs

I subscribed to philo a few years ago and enjoy the content, particularly the retro channels. But like most reviews I've read, I too am fed up with the commercials. They recently increased their fees and at the same time, the amount of commercials, playing the same ones over & over again, and a lot of them are from non profits, preaching sensors hip & BS. One channel in particular FETV has actually extended the air time on shows by 10 - 15 minutes in order to run more commercials. A 1 hr. Episode of Perry Mason ran 75 minutes with 50 mins for the episode & 25 minutes for commercials. What an insult to subscribers. I'm honestly thinking about canceling my subscription and stick with pluto, Roku & tubi . They've got commercials but at least it's free.

I was a Legacy subscriber since Philo came online. I agree 100% the commercials embedded in series that have long ago ended is maddening! Philo customer service will argue that it is not their doing, or not as sever as people claim. Sometimes (not always) they can be avoided by saving the series. The I.D. Channel Programs do not work with this method. I don’t understand why when a company starts off with a winning format; great programming choice, excellent competitive pricing, and little to no invasive commercials, they shoot themselves in the foot and go straight to self destruction mode and GUT EVERYTHING that built their reputation and customer base! When did the old saying, “If it ain’t broke don’t fix it” quit applying? In the last two years Philo has continued pulling yet again some of its most beloved programming out from under their most loyal customers by locking them out or removing it all together, such as Hallmark Channel forcing customers to “upgrade” to a more expensive package to watch programs they have been saving and watching for over 12yrs! Their pricing and programming choices was the primary reason I started with them. True enough they still lead the pack in that category, however the quality of programming, reruns of long ago ended shows coupled with expecting people to deal with a constant barrage of intrusive commercials! This puts them in the same bucket with the rest of the garbage channel apps! The straw that broke this camels back, was their pulling the higher end programs into higher priced packages, which is by definition the truest form of corporate greed! In my opinion this is not a good look or business model…If it ain’t broke Philo, don’t fix It, you’re on a slippery slope!

Watched a 60 minute program and it had 20 commercials.. Unacceptable
