How Do I Watch Philo Free on Fire Stick?

How Can I Get Philo for Free?

The easiest way to get Philo for free is to sign up for a subscription and use its seven-day free trial. As long as you cancel your plan before the end of the seventh day, Philo won’t charge you.

Open the Accounts & Lists menu and select Sign in.

Enter your password and select Sign-In.

Open the Philo app page.

Select the name of your Fire TV Stick from the dropdown menu on the right.

Select Get App.

After a few seconds, the page should refresh and inform you the Philo app has begun downloading on your Fire TV Stick.

If you have your Fire TV Stick turned on, you should see a notification when the installation finishes. While this notification is on screen, press the button on the Fire Stick remote with the three horizontal lines to open the app.

The Philo app should also be in your app library with all of your other installed Fire Stick apps.

The Philo TV app will launch on your Fire Stick. Select Sign in to log in with your Philo account information or select Get started to create a new account.

Some people like to create a new account every week to get a new free trial. A less time-consuming strategy may be to make one with two friends or family members and split the costs.

Some internet and mobile service providers may offer free Philo memberships or longer free trials as part of a special promotion, so it can be worth comparing providers when considering switching services if this is something of interest to you. 

A single Philo membership can be accessed on three separate devices at the same time.

Why Is Philo Not Working on Fire Stick?

If your Fire TV Stick isn’t loading at all, there are some other fixes worth trying.

  • Why is Philo buffering on my Fire Stick?
  • You might have too many devices competing for resources on your network; try disconnecting a few to see if that helps stop buffering on your Fire Stick. Your Fire Stick might also need an update. Go to Settings > My Fire TV > About > Check for System Update. If you have issues with other apps on your Fire Stick or other devices on your home network, restart your modem and router.
  • How do I cancel Philo on Fire Stick?
  • If you signed up for a Philo subscription on your Fire Stick, view your subscription from amazon.com/appstoresubscriptions. Use the drop-down menu under Actions and click Turn off auto-renewal. From the Philo site, select Account > Cancel my account.
