1. 3/5I love TCM but I can no longer watch it

   I’ve been a subscriber for a decade at least to TCM. It literally was on my TV screen constantly. This was to go to jail at all times. I turn my TV on and my cable on in there TCM was. However I had to move the last two years recently out to a rural area. Even though I have a dish net work to make a very long story short we can’t use Wi-Fi. So even though I’m trying to connect to TCM app with my dish TV it doesn’t want to work through my data only. Unless I am doing something wrong. I also I’m having an issue no finding the ID for dish so I can’t even try to sign in where I live now and see if I can use it here. I’m wondering does TCM only allow me to watch the app if I am continuously connected to Wi-Fi? We get 12 gigs a month only. Which is only an hour or two of watching movies. After that I need to use data for everything I watch and do. So will I be able to use my data once I can figure out my password and ID into my dish network? And secondly and maybe more importantly, do you plan on ever putting up a subscription service so that people can pay for an app to stream TCM from their phone from anywhere they go whether on Wi-Fi or their data? This is literally the only choice many of us have because of where we live and what is not available to us to connect to. My only hope is that you have or will soon have a TCM app that I can pay for without having to have a cable or satellite subscription. I look forward to hopefully hearing back from someone who can answer these questions for me, from TCM. I would love to get back to watching the old movies I love so much. It’s already been too long. 3 years now. I thought something may change out where I live and that we would have an option to connect to something so I could watch TCM again or maybe a subscription system and app. But to no avail. Again I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Cheers

2. 5/5I LOVE IT!

   I watch TCM almost constantly and exclusively!!! I love the old movies, particularly the ones from the thirties, forties and fifties, many of which I am seeing for the first time!! Absolutely wonderful!! I also enjoy the shorts, travel logs, even the occasional old commercials (which are the ONLY commercials I'll watch). LOVE the background information (wish you added for EVERY movie)!! And getting to know & recognize the wonderful character actors plus getting to see the superstars as they grew in their craft. Really miss Robert Osborne but Ben Mankiewicz is getting better and better! Jury still out on Vasquez, but she is improving. My only complaint is that you run the monthly calendar & wine commercial ad nauseum. We don't need it that frequently!! Sorry to see the monthly magazine go. Otherwise...THANK YOU for a wonderful service, which provides so many enjoyable hours of clean entertainment without foul language & blatant sexual displays--amazing how Hollywood has forgotten that people can be entertained without being bombarded with the least desirable traits of mankind. Yes, the Golden Age will not be found again (at least until God does housecleaning again). For we who are disabled and have little opportunity for outside activities, thank you for bringing it back to us so that television is not solely a vehicle for trash and misinformation!!!

3. 2/5Redesigned app

   Not impressed. Unless you provide a schedule of upcoming movies that will add some coherence to the disarray of features you haven’t improved much of anything. Movies need to be listed chronologically or alphabetically. Not in the random fashion shown. Films feature only gives the movie just shown or now playing. What is that!? The settings is really no settings at all. There’s nothing to set. Now this doesn’t mean I’ll stop watching TCM, but this new mumbo jumbo arrangement is too much work to use. Requires too much searching. You have to provide a schedule and not just a bunch of movies to watch. A feature I’d like to see added is a anytime search of actors that will include their personal history and filmography without having to wait for a movie to be shown with that actor in it. If a movie with that actor isn’t in films or watch list or whatever, I have to use google. Rather have that feature right at my fingertips using tcm. Soooooooo. The long and short of it is to put back the “schedule”feature and I’ll try to dig through the rest. And good luck in your never ending search for a Robert Osborne replacement. And by the way, why do you believe a movie would be better if the person watching is a little tipsy from wine? I know you’re trying to sell wine here, but do you really think people are that dumb? Drinking a wine with three different grapes isn’t going to make me laugh any harder while watching a Marx brothers movie.

4. 5/5Die hard TCM fan

   This is the only channel I watch. It's like a history lesson with every movie. I don't even like current movies any longer, no morality, nothing about faith in them. In Many classics they were not ashamed to mention God, pray, love their country and be proud to live and die for our country. So many wonderfully beautiful love stories respectfully done. And I can't forget the dramas and comedies. I watch 24-7. My family knows not to ask to change the channel. I love the fact that I can take TCM with me wherever I travel and can watch on my phone or tablet!!!!!!! Love you TCM 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 I want to be a "guest "programer before I die 😃 This app is excellent. I only wish the movies could stay longer on demand 😟 I missed one the other day and tried to watch it and it has already been removed. Other than this, I am very satisfied with app. This is just some constructive criticism regarding changes to the app; when the app was revamped, you took away the ability to rewind a few seconds and viewing the movie schedule, I was very annoyed. Now with this latest update, you eliminated the ability to view in full screen. Please correct those areas for watching in the app. I would greatly appreciate it. 😊🙏🏽

5. 5/5Best Channel Ever

   After being a film lover especially from an artistic stand point I've seen everything. I fell in love with mostly independent and foreign films after noticing how dark regular movies had become. Independent and foreign films soon followed. One day in February I watched TCM and it happened to be the month of Oscar Films. I absolutely fell in love. I've watched this channel exclusively since and the joy it brings into my life is unexplainable. I'm an old soul and stand for morals and love. These two things have been lost in films but not in classic films. I won't watch anything but TCM and I can't say enough about this channel. They give us a glimpse into history and what the world was like in my grandmother's time. These films are the best I've ever seen and the acting as well as the plots are absolutely the most rewarding I've ever seen. It's funny to realize how many films have been turned into remakes but they never do justice to the originals. They have impacted my life in such a positive way and I can thank TCM enough for giving us the opportunity to watch these great masterpieces!!
