Philo: Shows, Movies, Live TV.

What Philo is for

Philo: Shows, Movies, Live TV. is an entertainment streaming app for viewers who want live television, on-demand shows, and movies in one service. Its lineup is built around lifestyle programming, reality, scripted series, and other general-interest entertainment rather than local broadcast channels or major sports coverage. That makes it a better fit for households focused on entertainment than for viewers looking for a complete cable replacement.

What you can watch

The service brings together more than 70 premium networks and over 85,000 on-demand titles. You can browse live channels alongside a larger library of shows and films, with search and curated collections helping narrow the choices. Philo also includes a Saved area for keeping track of programs you want to watch.

• Live TV channels and on-demand programming in the same app
• Entertainment-led coverage without local ABC, CBS, NBC, or FOX stations
• No major sports network focus, which may suit viewers who do not want to pay for sports programming

Recording and household use

An unlimited DVR lets you record live programs and keep recordings for up to a year, with the ability to skip advertisements in those recordings. Multiple profiles help separate viewing histories, recommendations, and saved content for different people in the same household. The app supports watching across television, mobile, tablet, and desktop, with up to three concurrent streams.

How it compares

Philo has a measured rating of 4.41 from 32,143 ratings and more than 5,000,000 installs. Those figures show broad use, while the app's actual trade-off is clear: it concentrates on entertainment and avoids the higher cost of sports and local-channel packages. Consider it if your priority is shows, movies, and lifestyle channels; look elsewhere if local news, broadcast networks, or live sports are essential.
