Would be better

On my tv it lags badly, but on my phone it don’t lag it just over heats my iPhone. Is there a way to fix or not. If there is a way I will give 5 stars but until than it will be a 2 cause I can’t not watch on tv without it lagging and it loading.

Ads

I find it funny how you're paying to still have 3 minute unskippable ad breaks

Ridiculous Amount Of ADS

Your app keeps pestering me for a review so here you go! The ridiculous amount of ads that you have to endure on this app, for the amount of money I’m paying it’s absurd and makes me want to cancel the service. Do better for $35 a dang on month!!

Buffering

Good channel line up for the price. Unfortunately they have a lag that I can’t look over currently being a youtubeTV subscriber. Philo buffers and freezes way too often. I will stick with YTv for now until Philo figures it out.
