While the only pro to their service is price, but the cons is definitely the commercials. they run about 25 to 30 minutes of ads on a one hour program. Problem is, its the same commercials. I just watched 7 commercials on a 5 minute ad break. 2 was for Hyundai, then 2 for progressive insurance, the the same 2 for Hyundai , then 1 for Noom. They run about 50/50 on commercials versus programming. To add insult to a commercial, right in the middle of a 5 minute commercial break, they show a commercial to get a break from commercials. This consist of a cartoon type tv , sometimes in front of a tent with a campfire, next time beside a tree in a snow storm storm, but the one i hate worse is a tv in front of a dirty street wall with graffiti covered concrete wall. Pay a little extra for sling or hulu, they have ads, but most are 1 minute to 1 1/2 minute per 7 to 10 minutes of programming. Philo goes to a 4 1/2 minute to a 5 minute commercial break for about 5 minutes of programming

I once loved Philo. It seemed to be the only app where I could watch past, current, and upcoming shows that I love. However, as one of the reviews mentioned, I was watching "Sistas" and had reached season 9 when, without warning, that season was removed, leaving only four out of the ten seasons available. What a joke! As I write this review, I wanted to start watching "Caught in the Act," but the first three seasons are unavailable as well. The latest issue i have been experiencing is the ability to watch Philo, when trying to watch it, i am receiving an error message, saying "an issue has occurred", in the past i was able to reload and that seemed to work, but as of lately it has not. It has noting to do with my internet because everything works fine except for Philo. When I first subscribed to Philo, I was paying $25 a month. The price eventually increased to $37, and while I was still willing to pay that, I don't understand how the price can go up while the selection of shows decreases. I can officially say that this company is crooked, and I am canceling my subscription.

Philo is a joke. What greedy, money-hungry hippos they are. They charge $25 a month, with 3-minute commercials and approximately 12 commercials. That amounts to 36 minutes of wasted time for me. I am glad I tried the free trial, as it prevented them from getting my money. Their app sucks and glitches. Netflix is asking too much, but at least there are no commercials. I can’t wait for your company to die out, Hulu. Do not use Philo or pay for it; it is a waste of your money. Consider using Peacock or Paramount instead, as it may be more beneficial for your budget. When they start losing a lot of people, their tone will adjust, or they will just disappear. Regardless, don't use them.

Terrible service. Almost $40 per month and watching movies every 10 minutes you get a 2:25 minute ad

i did the free trial for this app to watch sistas in which it had all 10 seasons. then i purchased it for $25.00/monthly on today. been watching season 9, i left my frontroom and went into my bedroom only to see thats now it shows season 1,5,8,10 and not 1-10 like before. i chatted with a rep and was informed that the other season was removed and they have no control over when leaders remove seasons , etc off their apps. i was also inform on a no refund policy in which it does not state the no refund policy nor do it state that certain shows that have full seasons can be removed. i had this app cancelled and once you go back in as if you want to buy it, its a much higher plan price then what you previously paid and you want get the same price. this app is a RIPOFF and i would NOT recommend it to ANYONE. the only thing i got out of it after speaking with ith someone higher is my rull refund back.

When the app first came out it was good barely any commercials now we can sit here have 4 minutes of commercial and only 30 seconds of show and then right back to another three to four minute commercial is starting not to be worth the price because of the repeated soul nothing new is coming on and we can pretty much get all of the stuff that they have on prime

I had Philo for a few years now. I really liked it because of their retro channels. I prefer older shows with morals instead of the immoral crap they put on TV today. I was paying $21 a month and then without warning, they raised it to $38 a month. As a senior on Social security I can't afford it anymore. Greed is taking over! To me it's not worth $38 for about 10 channels that I watch. I can find a lot of the shows I like for free on other sites! Goodbye Philo! Your greed just lost you this loyal customer!

The app freezes constantly making it impossible to watch an entire movie without constantly reloading the app. Even when performing all recommended troubleshooting steps it can freeze so often that watching anything becomes impossible.
