The TNT channel advertises an application for iPhone and Android in which they say you can watch full episodes of ALL your favorite TNT shows.

If you use Android, you can't watch ANY full episodes at all, just short advertisements.
With iOS, you can watch a handful of episodes of a few shows and a handful of made for TV movies.
For example for a TV show, they might have 6 episodes available and it'll be like 1, 2, 8, 11, 14, all seemingly random.
One exception was Falling Skies did include all 10 episodes (and definitely the best show to me in the list), so that is one positive thing about the app.

Seems like they shouldn't be using the word "all". That's highly misleading. And they definitely shouldn't even mention Android support since you can't watch any shows with Android.

Most of the free to view stuff is just hooks to get you invested in the show so you either start watching it in a more traditional medium or purchase it.

TBS advertised the same app for TBS, I went to go grab it, and read reviews that ZERO shows had full episodes, only 1-2 min clips.

Very much false advertising.

The TBS app is even more restricted by being on the local network of your cable provider.

I say someone start a class action lawsuit based on the wording choice ""ALL"" and ""FULL EPISODES"" as they are performing blahtant lies and a bait and switch.
