Virtual MVPD Philo is finally adding a key component to its device compatibility list today with the launch of its Android app.
Up to this point, Android users could only access Philo through Google’s Chrome browser. Today, Philo is also launching an app for Amazon Fire tablets.
These additions join the Philo’s existing list of supported devices including Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, web and iOS. In late 2018, the company added Android TV support and made some updates to its Apple TV app.
The Android launch is the latest announcement in what has been a fairly busy past few months for Philo. In April, the company announced deals with Comcast’s FreeWheel for ad management, serving and decisioning, and companies including Premion, Roku, SpotX, Telaria, FreeWheel, Xandr and Verizon Media to sell its live and video-on-demand ad inventory.
