Useless

Can't even watch anything. It just says playback error.

Worst App Ever
allan81917264

I have no idea why my university uses this service, everything buffers, you can’t do playback because every time you try you get that “playback error” message, I’ll simply be watching something I recorded for later and it’ll automatically restart the entire movie or episode without a fault, EVERY SINGLE TIME. Doesn’t matter what tv show, movie, or channel this app is just plain awful. Will be recommending this app be replaced with something better.

This could be so much more...

I’m relatively disappointed. Yes you can watch shows just about whenever. But it really needs a feature that shows you newest episodes or episodes in the current season of whatever you would like to watch because otherwise you going to need to use google to scroll through to find an episode that may or may not be there, and since this app auto refreshes you in a different place in the listings after leaving and reentering, it will not be an easy feat. Maybe a feature that tells you if something is a movie or if something is a regular episode for easier navigation. Also this part bugs me to no end is that none of the ghost shows appear when everything else appears to be on there even shows that don’t consistently run. But why can’t we get Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures or any paranormal shows whatsoever. Also the fact you need a Roku or Firestick to even run this on your TV which means we need to leave our dorms to go buy another thing to watch cable tv on tv. I love the fact we can watch on tablets laptops or whatever else. But really? We didn’t even get a proper notification like a piece of paper in our dorm. I heard about an email but never received one, but since it’s the beginning of a semester we already have a bunch of email clog from professors and assignment notifications, not even a piece of paper saying “we have a tv app”! And don’t even get me started on the fact not every show you list for recording doesn’t show up. That’s the worst part. You can’t even keep track of it because for some reason the app doesn’t want to show you everything you listed. Horrible! And no Paranormal shows!

Don’t download if you have an X

Haven’t fully used it yet but looks fairly high quality. Big issue for people with iPhone X’s though, the formatting isn’t set up correctly so the search bar and settings button are covered up and inaccessible.

Awful

Hardly loads, can’t move the cursor when trying to go back or jump forward during a recording, and if you exit a recording and come back into it it jumps super far ahead. If it wasn’t free through my school I wouldn’t be using this worthless app

FIX THIS BROKEN APP
Zach_hamm

Just some helpful information, Bluetooth headphones ARE NOT AIRPLAY, so don’t cut off my content, get better app developers because this is one of the worst apps I have ever used it hardly ever works. Half of the time it says I’m not on the university internet when I clearly am. I beg of you fix this trash app ASAP.

How can you enjoy an app when its main function doesn’t work?

PhiloEdu works perfectly fine on nearly every other platform it is offered on. This app, however, is absolutely awful. Load times are ridiculous, both in opening the app itself and in attempting to stream anything you want to watch. How can you even ask someone to give your product anything more than 1 star when the apps functionality is fatally flawed? Listen to your consumers!

Thanks for absolutely nothing

I have been waiting for weeks, for my show to return, counting down the days and hours, but now that it’s finally airing, this stupid platform has squandered my dreams, and crushed my hopes and happiness. All I have left now, is the knowledge that it’s airing without me, and the cold rage that I have succumbed to. You can take my tuition and line your pockets, but apparently you can’t let me watch my stupid show once a week.

Horrible

This trash can of an app hardly works. 80% of the time you experience glitches were the video freezes. And the customer support tells you well its fine on our end. WELL ITS NOT. This app is never updated and its one of the worst streaming experiences I have ever had. 0 out of 5 stars.
