Movie Showtime 3.3.1.0
For those who want to stay up to date with the current and upcoming schedule of theaters near you, having Movie Showtime installed onto your Windows Phone might be a pretty good idea.
Smooth looks and well organized layout
The application comes with a nice appearance, with a cool background and some nice graphics that are consistent from end to end. All the functions are kept at hand and can be easily accessed from the main menu hosted in the lower side of the screen.
Moving from one section of the app into the other is pretty fluent, with some minor delays in loading the movie info, as it is retrieved from online sources.
A constant source of discontent are the ever-present advertisements that appear as animated banners and also cover the whole screen at times.
Find theaters near you and check their schedules
Movie Showtime asks you from the first run to activate the location services so it can offers you accurate info about the cinemas you can go to, but it is also possible to input a location manually to see what movies are playing in other cities.
The application identifies the theaters and the motion pictures available today and in the following 4 days, depending on the schedule choice you make from the dedicated area.
Viewing the showtimes for each movie is easy to do as all you have to do is tap on a movie tile to reveal all the details and then swipe to the corresponding section to see which cinemas are playing it and at what exact hours.
View detailed movie information, get tickets and invite your friends
The utility is ready to provide quit a bit of info about each motion picture and you can read a synopsis, watch the trailers and check out the reviews of those who have seen the movies. You an also add your own comments and opinions, as well as rate the film with up to 5 stars.
Besides adding the movies you want to see to your collection and browsing those tagged by others as a must-see or to be avoided, Movie Showtime makes it possible for you to quickly buy tickets to any show with just a couple of taps.
You can also call for your friends to the same theater to see the movie at the same hour by sending out an invite via SMS or Facebook, as the app supports both methods by default.
