Only Usable With Over-Priced Packages
We enjoyed TCM back in the days of a satellite dish subscription, but this isn’t available as an ala carte channel; instead, it can only be seen with large and expensive packages we have little use for. Fortunately, much of their content is available on other streaming platforms with a bit of searching.
Make this a standalone or a reasonably priced add-on to other streaming services and we’ll sign up in a heartbeat. Until then, there is plenty to watch elsewhere.
Good luck with this business model.
Functionality deteriorating
As society moves away from CABLE TV and over to streaming apps TCM refuses to update its app and outdated mode of being tethered to cable TV. This is not a “free app” if you don’t have cable.
I have cable and cannot use the app!
I did however get bounced into a fake help website that wanted my credit card.
THIS APP DOES NOT WORK CONSISTENTLY!
Worst ever!!!
Offer stand-alone service
Please offer a stand-alone streaming service. There are many of us without cable that would gladly pay a monthly fee for access to your library. I’ll 5 star you when that happens, thanks.
Edit: years later they’re still willing to die on that hill of cable TV. I’m still not going back to cable, ever.
Poorly supported app that lacks basic functionality
This app lacks any responsive customer support. It forces you to reauthenticate every two weeks and does not recognize your stored account credentials. There is no search, and if you close the app mid film you will have to go looking for the film and either restart or guess at where you left off. The latter being extremely difficult on AppleTV.
Have to sign in to tv provider every time
Can’t close the app for 5 seconds without having to go through clunky sign in process
Not updating films
Used to have a new selection constantly updating but seems to have not added anything last several days, no way to save progress when it does work which is goofy
Chromecast??
I have had this app for years, and I wonder why they never set up Chromecast in the app so that we can throw the film up to the TV. Sometimes it’s tough to watch on smartphone or a tablet. Please take care of this.
Does not work on Xfinity
Still doesn’t work. The obviously don’t care one little bit. Lots of promises from tech support but zero action to fix the app. ZERO. If I could rate this -100 stars that would be generous.
The app STILL doesm’t work after a month of working with them. Tech support is useless. They “said” all the right things and then do NOTHING to fix the problem. The app hasn’t been updated for a year. Is anybody home at TCM? Or doe they even care? The app works on my iPhone built not on my iPad. How hard could that be to fix? Thoroughly disappointed!!! Cannot sign in. I get a blank pop up where it used to ask for credentials. Tech support has been responsive but hasn’t given a solution. They seem to be guessing without a clue as to the problem.
Cannot View Movies
I delete and reload this app and it still will not play the movies. It pops up with the service provider screen yet nothing happens when I click on my provider and the movie won’t play. Not impressed.
NOT free, false advertising
This app is advertised as free, and technically it is free to download. However, it is NOT free to use.
