Showtimes is a full featured movie theater app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. This app has a smooth interface that makes it really easy to navigate through all of the information that it offers.
The app is broken down into five different tabs. Those tabs are Theaters, Popular, Rating, Newest, and Upcoming. Each page is simply a different method of sorting all the information that this app offers. Showtimes will default to opening on theaters and will usually ask you for your location. If you?d like to change your location, whether having it locate you directly or enter it in manually, all you need to do is press the little locate symbol near the top of the page and change the information to what you like. You can shift from day to day at the top of the page for each category, giving you the ability to view more than just one days worth.
In the theater tab you?ll be able to see the closest theater to the location you?ve entered. If you?d like to look at other theaters, you can actually close that specific drop down and view all the other locations. Within the drop down you?ll see information such as the movie name, a star rating, the MPAA rating, movie duration, and show times. When you select a specific movie you?ll be brought to its profile page which includes the movie name, MPAA rating, release date, duration, genre, cast listing, a small blurb about the movie, a trailer, and links to MetaCritic, RottenTomatoes, and IMDb.
All of the information that this app offers loads up directly within the app itself which another thing that sets this app out from the rest. Even after watching a trailer you?re brought back to the app instantly. If you?d like to view the link in the Safari browser, the app offers that feature as well. It seems that the only thing this app is missing is the ability to buy tickets. Regardless, this is a top notch movie app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Definitely check it out.
