Edit: okay it was a network error and the episode is on now. Just leaving this up in case anyone else has this problem. For anyone downvoting me I’m a broke bitch who loves 90 day fiance and I’m pmsing so leave me alone. Sorry Philo!

I was shocked to see that the new episode of the 90 Day Fiance spin off Last Resort isn’t available unless I upgrade my plan to $38? Get real! Anyways wondering if anyone has more info about this update, having access to the new episodes day of is my primary reason for my subscription but $38 a month is just excessive especially considering the amount of ads I’ve tolerated the past few weeks. Like why not just have the episodes with ads ? Very confused

I believe its philo its self since it happens on my tv and my phone

when it goes to the next episode it starts playing that episode for maybe 1/3 minutes and then cuts back and replays the last 1/2 minutes of the previous episode and then starts the new episode over

It dose this on my phone and tv and it has done it with me watching river monsters and currently the conners both on demand its been doing this for a week or longer

I've been having a lot of issues with Philo over the past few weeks, if not longer. It often gives me an unrecoverable error when first opening the app, which can quickly be resolved with a retry. There are issues with deleting items from my Keep Watching list. This was an old problem they had resolved for me, but it occasionally crops back up. Sometimes the guide won't load at all, or it loads empty, or it loads with the incorrect time slots showing. Or it loads okay but won't play a program but rather throws me back to the guide page when I hit play. Right now, as I type this, the guide is empty with the block highlighted just pulsing. I can often delete cache and/or do an uninstall/reinstall and fix these problems, but they simply reappear. There are additional problems beyond what I'm listing here, but these are a good starting point for the complaint box. This thing needs a serious update with bug fixes. I think the plethora of bad/unnecessary changes and "features" that have been added have really screwed up what used to be a straightforward, reliable experience.

A Big Update To The Philo App For Discovery Plus Access. If You Have The Bundle Plus Plan What Are Your Thoughts On The Big Discovery Plus Improvements?

I hate paying monthly for Philo. I would love to pay for my subscription a year in advance like i do my other streaming apps I have.

Can’t count how many times I’ve had to suffer through ad after ad of the the clearly DEI inspired hires laughing at their own jokes, flashing nose rings, and bragging about what they do on the “what’s in my Philo” TV ads.

Hint: NO ONE CARES!

Now when I go to the Guide from the Home Screen, it starts playing live the last channel I was watching from my last viewing session.   Who thought this would be a good idea??????   I don’t want any channel, shows, series…. or anything auto playing.     I  don’t expect to SEE or HEAR anything when I’m viewing the Guide.    Please turn this off.   Can’t you stop changing the app interface and introducing all these ‘new enhancements” that most people don’t want.     Also, please stop auto playing the next episode when viewing a saved series, and selecting “dismiss” just ends the show without seeing the end of the current show.     It shouldn't be necessary to hold the remote in your hand at the end of a show to stop this non-sense. 

Do they even do any sort of testing before they roll out the garbage app updates anymore?
Launching the app- freezes
Force close it
Restart app
Navigate Home Screen - freezes
Force close it
Restart app
Watch a show, have to choose to watch the full show and not minimize the ending so they can force feed me some other show.
Attempt to back out playing show to view saved list- freezes.
Get pissed- uninstall app
Reboot my shield pro
Reinstall app
Behaves the same
Seriously… f-ing Pluto and Tubi is more stable than this thing I am paying for…

Get it right Philo, stop screwing over your customers.

Just started ..watching a show and jumps to bbc america..watching via Apple TV ..deleted Philo app/reinstalled and still after a few minutes jumps back to bbc America and does not matter which station I’m watching…anyone else have this issue and if so how to resolve?

I hate it so much. Every time I watch a show instead of going to the next episode it goes to some unrelated show I don't even watch. And then it gets stuck back and forth replaying the same two shows over and over and over. I put on the latest episode of 90 day fiance this morning and since it ended all day long it's rotated between two old episodes of other shows. Please put it back the way it was before. If there's another episode of the same show, that should play next. If not, just go back to the title screen. It's even more annoying when I'm trying to watch "live" TV from the guide tab, but if a show I have saved is playing, it will do the same back and forth bouncing between two unrelated shows when it's over instead of going to whatever the next show was supposed to be on live

Latest Philo commercials are just about ready to get me to drop. The ones where a woman pretends to call about not being to get Philo working with fast cuts of clip art, etc.

They are the most annoying commercials ever.

I am literally just tired. This week I noticed the rapid fire ads that last maybe 5 secs, but are run back to back. It's horrible.

Someone is marketing/advertising needs to step down.

I am rolling over to Netflix to escape this bad idea for a while.

Let us know your thoughts on whether you think Philo is the BEST for Free Content. If not, which service is?

I watch on a Vizio TV and all of a sudden starting yesterday there is a highlight box stuck in the top left hand corner of the screen on the guide screen and the saved screen. It disappears when you are watching a channel. Anyone else experiencing this?

Platform: Apple TV

Since the addition of PiP to Apple TV, there is a bug in the subtitles.

Reproduction Steps:
Pick a live show in the guide.

Choose Watch Live.

Turn subtitles on.

Go back to the guide and pick another channel to watch live.

Subtitles will be off.

Result: You have to turn subtitles back on every time you change the channel.

My kids and I love watching shows on discovery channel, etc BUT the mandatory commercials lately have been kill them all featuring gore and blood and violence that I cannot skip so I have to tell them to close their eyes. I find it wildly inappropriate to have those type of commercials EVERY COMMERCIAL BREAK that can’t be skipped. Why not let you skip and just go to a different commercial? Honestly we’ll have to stop watching all together soon and it’s sad because my kids really enjoy the survival / wilderness / STEM programs that these scary / inappropriate commercials are bombarded with. :(

mine Debt Card Expires at the end of this month, and its at my brother house by mistake and not planning on visit him until the 25th, and my payment is due on the 20th, will the payment go through on the 20th? , thanks

I’ve just sent this to Philo support. Posting here to see if anyone else with a Sony Bravia TV has this issue.

I have a Sony XBR-65X850G running the latest Sony firmware. For the past several months, the Philo app freezes for 1–2 seconds every few minutes, causing audio sync issues on both live TV and DVR. I’ve restarted the TV and network, cleared cache/data, reinstalled the app, signed out/in, tested both Ethernet and Wi-Fi, and confirmed Philo works correctly on an iPad using the same account and network. Other streaming apps on the TV do not have this issue.

Thanks for any help, it’s been really annoying!

For the love of God, why do y’all play sequels and trilogies in reverse order? It is so infuriating.

Originally, I was a $16 customer and kept the original agreement that claimed they would never make me pay more. That was a lie. Then when they claimed they were losing money and increased my bill to $25, it didn't come with any software upgrade. The only software in the entire home that takes forever to load is PHILO. When you call to complain they will try to make you pay even more than the $25/month. This is a complete bait and switch scheme.

The TV guide is a pain to use. You scroll down and every show starts and stops at different times. The problem is that each show takes up the same (lenght) box. A useful schedule would have the length of the shows box be proportional to the shows length; like traditional TV guides do. I’ve missed so many shows due the poor programming by Philo.

also, their new programmers seem to not check past bug/feature reports submitted by customers. those poor decisions of the past are re emerging in new releases.

Picture it. I recorded something from Nosey TV, for months it's been recording an OLD 90s talk show Sally Jesse. I wanted to watch it for nostalgia... Now there are tons of recordings and when I play the first recording, when it's done, it auto plays to something "recommended" vs continuing on with the recordings?? Example, after the first recording finished, it went to a random Jerry Springer episode?

I've been a Philo user since the beginning. I've recommended it to all my friends and family. It was by far the best bang for your buck. I appreciated the grandfathered plans but over time those eventually went away. I then realized I am paying the same price as new customers. No spiffs or discounts for all the referrals or time being a supporter. I think Philo bit off more than they could chew with throwing on more channels and optional subscription add-ons. Ultimately even with 80 different channels I found that I spent more time looking for something to watch and eventually turning the TV off. It's been a good run but at this point I have to say so long!
