Battery drains so much

Please please please fix the battery draining issue on the iPad app. I love Philo as a service and I would love to watch more but it drains my battery like crazy and the iPad gets VERY HOT which cannot be good for the device’s longevity. Please fix it!

Terrible!!!

Trying to watch a movie and it turned from 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes!! 5 minute ad breaks all over! Terrible!

Too expensive

I am paying $30 per month for commercials! Why? I am canceling and watching for free with the Xfinity app with commercials. At least it is free.

HBO costs the same and has no commercials or ads

Great steaming service

I think Philo o Is a great streaming site. Love the channel line up. I really think it’s worth the money. Not only can u record u get hbo,discovery and amc+. If u added all these services together,it still be a good deal. Had this service for over 2 years and love it.
