Ratings and reviews

I've used this app for years without problems until the past 75 days (May & Aug 2026). It glitched in different ways on different Android devices. It worked fine one morning, but not in the afternoon. When streaming great films is limited to a few days after broadcast and the app that delivers full streaming benefits malfunctions, it's not only irritating, but shouldn't be up to customers to monitor functionality. That said, Support got it fixed in a few days. Credit is due. Hope it holds.

I am not a subscriber and will not be. I used to have either cable or satellite (depending on where I lived) but chose to disconnect due to the CONSTANTLY increasing cost. Spending WELL over $100 per month to watch a grand total of three channels seems ridiculous. I get apps for only what I want and pay considerably less. As a result of no longer paying for satellite, I cannot use the TCM app. Paying for 135+ unused channels just to watch TCM well, it's just crazy. Sad, too. I do miss my movies.

The app requires you sign in with your cable provider. For some reason, it doesn't work with DirectTV. I used to be able to just hit "play" and see movies; no more! I cannot use your app anymore because of this rediculous requirement. I'll be Uninstalling and looking for another classic movie source. Very disappointed in this unnecessary change. Thanks for nothing!
