Accessibility on Google TV / Android TV: Philo uses Android's AccessibilityService API to improve navigation for people who use the TalkBack screen reader. If you choose to enable Philo's accessibility service, it detects directional button presses on your remote while TalkBack is active so you can navigate Philo's menus, guide, and player with TalkBack on. This service is optional, is only used while TalkBack is running, does not collect, store, or share any personal or sensitive data, and cannot read content from other apps.
Philo: Live TV with Bravo, plus HBO Max access, discovery+, AMC+ & All Reality.

Love the show options! That's why I didn't rate it 1 star. The excessive ads are making me want to cancel. It has gotten worse too. A 45 minute show is 2 hours long because of ads! That's beyond ridiculous!! I literally watched 3 minutes of the show and then had over 5 minutes of ads. This is my most expensive streaming service and my other ones are without ads. For this much it should be no ads and make a cheaper option with ads. As soon as I'm done with this show, I'm canceling!!

Hi Nicole, Philo actually has the same advertisement load as any other TV provider. Ad break lengths are predefined – we do not insert additional advertising into the programming beyond what is defined by the network's schedule. However, you can fast-forward through anything you save to your DVR :)

Great app! To address what others are complaining about: I have vision issues and I can see everything just fine, there are the same amount of ads as every other streaming app. And this one is significantly less in price! IF YOU DONT WANT ADS DONT WATCH LIVE TV. Philo is excellent, highly recommend! So easy to record and you can record as much as you want for 30 days! If you dont watch it by then, you probably weren't going to watch it anyway!

17 commercials back to back! This is excessive! Especially since I pay for the service. Will not be paying for another month of this. I am paying to watch programs not commercials. I'm literally getting 10% program and 90% adds. I got the app because it has 1 program I like to watch, and at 25 dollars a month, it's not worth it, when I'm seeing more adds than program.

Philo has the same ad load as any other TV provider. TV networks have control over their own ad schedules, however, we have a team that can flag ads and report unusual activity like this. If you come across unusually long ad breaks, please feel free to contact our 24/7 support team so we can further investigate: philo.com/contact
