User Reviews for WATCH TCM

A film festival on TV.

I have been watching TCM for years and it is the best channel on TV. You may watch movies on other channels, but where can you get the history of the movies you are watching on any other channel? You won't find it. I miss Robert Osborne's introductions, but Ben Mankowitz is doing an excellent job introducing them. Alex Baldwin learned his lessons well from Mr. Osborne and he continues the tradition on "The Essentials," on Saturday nights with new guest programmers. The programming is excellent. I love "The Star of the Month." When a star passes away, I love the way they honor them with a film montage. "Thirty Days of Oscar," is wonderful and I love the August line up when they dedicate each day to a different star. But they also honor the directors, screen writers, composers and designers. And don't forget the silent films. It is like having a film festival in your home. There isn't any channel in TV that comes close to TCM.

Love added features, MIss deleted features

I enjoy the ability to watch on demand, and added information. However, the deleting of schedule of movies, with or without information re: cast, tidbits , reviews when released, is sorely missed . It has decreased my time watching a film with my family, and isolated watching alone thru iPad, iPhone etc... when time permits. The schedule allowed our family and friends to discuss and plan movie viewing, rather than depending on movies on demand. We enjoyed the movies scheduled by actor, theme, etc... there must be someway to do both. And for my parents friends, who prefer a schedule in order to watch on television, you have taken golden memories away from them. It is either hit or miss for them by watching on TV. They did enjoy looking forward to a film scheduled at ... it gave them something else to look forward to doing that day as their world physically becomes smaller. Good luck with future upgrades.

Best 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!!

Movies saved my life

When I was a child I lived in a very difficult situation and my only escape were movies. I developed the ability to lose myself in films and actually feel a part of them. But back then we had only 3 channels and your favorite films were on maybe once a year. Thanks to TCM, I can now watch my favorites and have discovered so many other great films along the way. This app lets me take my movies wherever I go which is a godsend at times. I constantly search TCMs schedule for upcoming films and set them to record . The shows hosts are the best, they provide so much backstory, insight & their own personal experiences with their films. TCM is always looking for ways to improve the channel & enhance their viewers experiences. To be a guest host would be a dream & I'm hoping to be able to cruise with them one of these years. Thank you so much Robert & Ben, you are two of the finest gentlemen ever.

Die 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. 😊🙏🏽

TCM is my favorite

TCM is my favorite channel of all time!! Which makes this app my favorite too. I hate commercials and love black and white films. I love Noir films. I remember watching most of these movies stars since the 1960's. These are the real movie stars in my opinion and I do not consider modern stars even close. All my favorites are almost all gone like Eastwood. It is sad to see them age but on the other hand it has been enjoyable to watch people like Robert Duvall, Jeff Bridges, Diane Keaton grow into the great performers they are. These and a few others are the last of the great Movie Stars. I'm so grateful of TCM to be able to watch such good movies without sex, violence, swearing, and most of all commercials. The old movies weren't allowed to use the modern recipe of movie making and left a lot to the imagination telling a better story and performance. If I could only have one channel and app, it would be TURNER CLASSIC MOVIES!!

Redesigned 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.

I 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!!!

Love TCM, Hate the App

WatchTCM has been the only thing I’ve truly had to look forward to since I started quarantining over 2 months ago. I’ve always loved classic films and I’ve grown that love affair during this time, watching at least 1 film a day but often more. I use the app on my phone so that I can walk from my bedroom to my office to the kitchen without pausing. The app is the only thing marring my TCM experience. It crashes frequently if I pause a movie to answer a text or check an email, and most of the time clicking “resume” is pointless - I’m forced to drag the status bar to wherever I last remember I was in the movie because it won’t actually resume. God forbid I’m logged out for some reason; tonight my captions weren’t showing up (I keep captions on all the time) so I killed the app and restarted. Same problem. Thinking I needed an update, I came to the App Store to update. Of course then I was logged out and I have yet to be able to log in. The entire thing seems to be lagging and won’t let me sign in with my cable provider. I have excellent WiFi and I haven’t experienced this with any other app, streaming or otherwise. I come to WatchTCM for vintage films, not a disappointing and antiquated technological experience.

Quality of airplay is terrible

Whenever I watch a movie, I like to watch it on the big screen. Since I had an Apple TV, I thought it would be a good idea to try and mirror my phone with the tv, but the quality and frame rate and the audio sync is just awful. See the video HUD is a lot different than the apple video HUD. When I airplay with the Apple video hard but there are no issues with frame rate or anything like that. But when I airplay with the TCM video HUD then frame rate drops the quality is bad, And the audio sync is bad. Now there’s only us trail when I am using Verizon as my cable provider. But as far as I’m concerned that has nothing to do with the quality of the video and it really angers me that I have to do this even when I look at the TV and when I look at the screen on my phone, my phone is normal and it’s all good and acts like it’s all normal and and there’s no issues. But when I look at my TV screen, everything is bad it’s all bad it’s all glitchy it’s terrible.
