There is currently no officially licensed and authorized Tokio Hotel apps for cellphones, so anyone who is selling them is making money off the band's name without their permission.

So, to that end, as with all things, we will remove any links to it or discussion of it because we are here to support the band, not to support people making money off the band.

Thanks for understanding.

If this changes, we will certainly post about it.

Thanks!

This is concerning the iTunes app that is for sale on iTunes USA, @shannonlovesth.

Correct. Someone else is making money off of Tokio Hotel without their permission.

You could email iTunes.

Try emailing customer service and saying you didn't realize that it was not an official app.

I've reported the app to iTunes saying: "The creator of this app is not officially licensed or authorized to be selling a product in the name of the band Tokio Hotel, making this app illegal since he/she is charging $4.99 for it."

idk if it will help or do anything, but I figured it couldn't hurt to mention it to iTunes. :shrug:

Doesnt the application show music/videos? If so isnt that illegal or copyrighted?

Today I checked to see if the app got any reviews and they now want $7.99 for it instead of $4.99.
I'm so glad I saw this thread before I bought it.I was so close to buying it.
