Been a customer for years. Started with a T-Mobile discount code and have never left. Price has went up here and there but not much. Still way cheaper than the competition. There's another price increase coming but they are also now including HBO and Discovery so I'm not complaining. We switched from Roku TVs to Fire TVs and have had no issues. I recommend Philo to everyone. They have so much to choose from and I love how much I'm able to record to watch at later times.

Okay so, tubi makes you watch the ads because that's how they make money. This app also forces you to watch the ads, even though you are paying $32 a month, which is way more than it was when I tried it a year ago. That's exactly why we're switching from YouTube TV because they're raising prices too. If you start a program and jump to the beginning, it's nice to be able to skip through the commercials. They're not commercials then they're ads which is not the same as cable.

Hi Vincent! Commercials are up to the network's schedule - this applies to both live and on-demand content. You can quickly skip ads by saving (+) anything you're interested in watching to be recorded on your unlimited DVR (help.philo.com/using-philo/save). Philo is also $28/mo when you bill through Philo directly. Switch to Philo billing to save!

The user interface across multiple devices is not great. If I start watching a show on my Samsung TV and then I come into my bedroom to either cast (from an android mobile device application) or watch directly on my old Vizio TV, the service is unable to pick up where you left off from various devices. I also found the user interface on any of the apps is a bit difficult to navigate. It's not nearly as comprehensive as the other streaming services that I use, such as Netflix or Amazon Prime.
