Bit too expensive but I do like it.
I like this app a lot but $20 is a bit too much for me compared to hulu and Netflix as a streaming service. Plus all the ads is another negative which I feel the revenue you get for the ads should drop the price a bit. Maybe I'm just cheap lol

No cartoon Network
Very convenient it provides and satisfies my needs of what I want to watch when I want to watch and what I like to watch it lags a little bit in the beginning But after that it's clean all the way through I have had no issues once in a full moon it'll lag for like 2 seconds and then it'll continue to play without problems I like it a lot because I don't watch sports and it has all my favorite channels The only downside is no cartoon Network for my kids I don't understand why that didn't come with the package but that was a bit of a disappointment

Big waste of $50
I bought this twice and it still isn’t working, I called Philo and Best Buy but no one can find out the problem. Says it can’t use the payment method, but already took the money out.

Philo "blackouts" ruined the app!
DON'T SIGN UP FOR THIS! I loved Philo for the first week and then one morning i woke up and every channel i like said "Blackout" and would not let me watch anything. This is something that apparently happens often on Philo and it's nerve racking when you only have 30 or so channels to begin with. Very disappointed

Not really my thing, but good if I DID want LiveTV
I don't normally ever watch Live TV so this is from someone going from there, to just using it because I have it, to now actually liking it for the content included and howbit's much easier to watch shows I never think to, or just have the convenience to throw a random channel on without choosing what I want to watch through an endless list, for when I just want background noise or a variety of shows I dont have to commit to or keep the same show/movie on non-stop. All on a single channel sometimes. Now I only tried it since it was free with my new TV pirchase, and cobsidering I'm NOW a real Live TV kinda guy, the Full-Package* is a little much for me to justify spending for what you get. Especially since I just had a baby son this year. The fact that it's just ANOTHER standalone App you'll need on your Android/Smart TV home screen and switch around to, and when you factor in that you'll most likely be using this with a TV that already has multiple apps for Streaming (that you're also paying for) that already include the whole "Live TV" thing (with FF/RW DVR capabilities like Philo), its not really something I need *IN MY USE CASE*. Although if it is, it's definitely cheaper than it's competitors when comparing features, but it also doesn't have sports packages like some other TV subscription services. Still, of you don't care about that like me (although, I WOULD appreciate, and probably use, a sports package/channel that broadcasts Racing/Motorsport content like Formula 1/2 or GT3, Rally/Rallycross racing, MotoGP, Redbull/Hoonigan, etc...) then this would most likely be my choice if I were to use a Live TV service. Still, always remember to do proper research before choosing any subscription service for the one that best suits your needs.
