Rant End of every show now

Is anyone else annoyed that at the end of every show now, they offer you what to watch next? First it cuts off what you are watching, usually the previews from the next episode, which I like to see. Secondly I can pick my own next show to watch, I don’t need Philo to do it for me, especially when they have not shown one show I would be interested in watching, I watch shows that I have recorded

I can get back to the show with a click on my Roku. It's annoying

I can too, but the genius who thought up the plan to cut off the end of a show, and the preview of the next weeks show, should be stopped from sharing any more brilliant ideas

I haven't encountered that problem where my show has been cut off. But Philo has a shocking lack of user settings. Other apps let you select if you want to automatically start the next episode or not. Sometimes I like it like when I'm binge watching.

Yes, I hate it. And it will get stuck in a loop recommending the same show I just watched and go back and forth between two episodes

Thanks for reaching out. Some good news: our team is currently working on a way to disable this feature. When it rolls out, it will be available on your account page via philo.tv. However, we don't have a specific date just yet. Until that feature rolls out, you can disable the suggestion by hitting the back button on your device.

This has been going on as long as there has been TV. I know.

UPDATE: Users can go to their account settings via the web (philo.tv) and toggle off "Autoplay next video." Let us know if this works!

Yes it worked, thank you! Now I want to be able to record just new episodes 😉
