I've been absolutely thrilled with the Philo app since day one! It's incredibly easy to navigate, making streaming affordable TV a breeze for far less than its competitors. Need locals? Grab a antenna for local channels. The DVR feature lets you fast forward through pesky commercials, which is a major lifesaver. I love that when you start watching something live, it seamlessly takes you back to the beginning & love the Top tab—such a thoughtful touch!*

The user interface across multiple devices is not great. If I start watching a show on my Samsung TV and then I come into my bedroom to either cast (from an android mobile device application) or watch directly on my old Vizio TV, the service is unable to pick up where you left off from various devices. I also found the user interface on any of the apps is a bit difficult to navigate. It's not nearly as comprehensive as the other streaming services that I use, such as Netflix or Amazon Prime.

Is it just me who primarily uses streaming apps to cast to my TV, but can't make it work with this one? I got this app because they had a show that I couldn't get anywhere else. But the cast function won't work with either of my Chonecasts. I've tried this on two different TVs, which each have a different version of Chromecast, and also with two different phones. Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, YouTube, HBO, Disney... all of them cast with these same devices.
