For the Guided Tour, you can collect badges by visiting each L.A. location in person. You will receive one for each location as you get close to that location. Each location has its own number. You can see how many badges you’ve collected on the start screen. Have you got what it takes to visit everyone of these amazing locations in Los Angeles? If you do, and can collect all 100 badges on the LA-based tour; you will receive a special prize from TCM.
For the Self-Guided Tour, if you cannot be in Los Angeles, you can still take the tour virtually and collect badges for this tour by viewing each Hollywood location. Each location has its own number, so explore by neighborhood or browse the list view. You can also use the play button and forward/reverse controls in this tour to explore all the locations in a gallery view.

Better than the star maps!

Best app out there. I've bought the star maps and the other apps. This app has it all. Easy to use and it's TCM.
Cinematic Fun

I must say being a TCM buff I'm having a blast with this app. Usually when I buy an app it only holds my attention for just so long until I'm bored. Suffice it to say that has not happened here. I can't seem to put it down, so much information & history. If you love classic films get this app.

Great app will have fun with this one... But would like to see the map use Satellite view, not zooming into a blank lot.... Or at least link it to another maps app.. Rotate landscape view to help the eyes read the great info about each screen.. .... Looking forward to these updates real soon...
Yea....no!

Addresses are wrong, and terrible map navigation (lag or something makes selecting a pin a real problem). I lived in LA my whole life expecting to learn a couple of things, this needs more locations, how ever I do like that they provide bios and such, but it lacks big time! Will change my review (which I never write unless I feel led to speak up) when it's a lil more polished
Horrible

There's maybe 1-2 photos per listing. All photos are amateur quality. Many are of very disinteresting content. Lighting is poor/washed out by sunlight/shadows. Nothing special about this app. Save your money... :-(
Great Hollywood adventure!

I used this app this past week touring through Los Angeles and visiting many of the locations in the app. UPDATE: I had family in town this past week and took them around LA. The app was a primary source of entertainment while we were stuck in traffic driving around town. Great app! I hope they keep adding more locations.

This app was horrible compared to what it could have been! To show the front gate of a Hollywood Starr's home instead of the home itself (which was done Several times) was a crying shame. WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!
Just bad!!!!

This is the biggest rip off app ever! First, I paid $2.99 for it then it suddenly went to $1.99. Then I finished all the tours in less than 3 weeks! I received NO prize or gift as "promised" on the App. There isn't even a way to claim the prize and or gift as promised. At the beginning of the app there is a welcome from Mr. Osborne promising the gifts for those who complete all the self guided tours! Nothing was given to me! Tried contacting TCM & got answers to ?'s I didn't ask! They would not even acknowledge me at all! I e-mailed them 6 times & each time the response was on how to pay for & order their magazine!!! I even filed complaints with the BBB in Atlanta, Georgia and was told Turner Broadcasting didn't even exist! I even tried the state attorney general & got no where. It is fraud to promise gifts & then not come through with them! I tried for almost 5 months to get a decent response from them but received nothing! I have never been so disappointed in any thing as I have this App & Turner Classic Movies & Mr. Osbourne himself! I never expected this of him, he seems so dignified!!! Yeah right!!! I have deleted this stupid App for good! Once you have completed all the tours there is nothing left to do with it at all! I wrongly thought other tours would be added or any kind of updates ... But there was totally nothing! Worst App ever!!! If I could have rated this 0 stars or minus/negative stars. It would have been a -10!!! Don't buy it...even the lower price is not worth what you get! they promise prizes & gifts that they have no intention of giving out!!! Shame on TCM & their stupid App!
WHAT happened to the main TCM app?!?

This is the only place I can ask this question, as the main Turner Classic Movies app I bought over a year ago hasn't been able to open for nearly 3 weeks. And it no longer even appears in the App Store. I loved this app, and relied on it regularly to keep abreast of the channel schedule. I also enjoyed the extensive background articles for the films shown. Can anybody at TCM or the app creator provide some answers? Is it being revamped? We fans want to know...
