This looks like it is comparable to Flix, except that it is shareware (see registration in screenshot).

Give me til tonight and I'll post a review. Just from the screenshot, I can say the one thing I do not like is the cutoff on the theater names. In my area, there are several theaters that start the same, but I'll post more after I play with it.

Just in the short time I have played with the program, a few things that I personally dislike or suggest.

  • Dislike: Can not finger scroll on the Movie Description or the Showtimes page, but you can on the theater page.
  • Suggest: adding a Showtimes link on the Movie Description page. (Prevents having to go back a page, tap showtimes.)
  • Suggest: add the ability to get the movie description from tapping the movie name in the Showtimes list. (Personally I look at movies for the desire time, then will read the descriptions if needed.)
  • Suggest: adding the ability to open GoogleMaps, to show theater location, from tapping the address. (Flix has this option.)
  • Personally: I prefer to have the theaters, and movies appear as a list, that I can scroll through, as oppose to a grid.
Overall, it is a great program, that updates much faster than Flix, but to me is missing out on a few extras options. Kudos! =D>
