Tired of all those newspaper subscriptions?
Or ever found yourself in front of a cinema and didn’t know anything
about the movie that’s playing? Now, if you have an Android or an iPhone
with you, you can check it out in a flash (no pun intended). Movie apps
are the best way to find out what ever you need about any movie, or
what’s hot in the box office. It’s pretty hard to find specific movie
apps for Android only or for iPhone only. It’s obvious that IMDB and
Flixster will not ignore the potential of both platforms, so you will
find that the majority of these apps are actually mobile
cross-platforms. Here are some awesome apps you can try out:
Top 7 Movie Apps for Android
This is one of the
best movie app out there, in my opinion. If you give it a try, you’ll get the latest reviews from
Rotten Tomatoes,
a map that shows what movies are played near you, ratings, trailers and
everything you need to know about any movie. It works great and its
bundle of feature is enough to satisfy any movie lover.
IMDB is most likely the world’s best known movie
database, with over 1.5 million titles listed at this moment. There, you
can browse through its massive collection of pictures, trailers, or
check its renowned movie tops. Now, you can do all of this on your
Android device, and take IMDB everywhere you go.
This great app allows you to
search movies by
theatres closest to you, release date or ratings and reviews, in short,
the best way to pick a movie and theater to watch it in. Its simple
interface and search options make it one of the best Android movie apps
you can have. It also gives you the possibility to search for trailers.
It seems that the creator of
CineShowTime was a
convinced modernist. This app is one of the simplest movie app
available. It automatically determines your position and it searches for
all the theatres near you. You can see what movies are running in any
theatre, the length of the movie and link to its IMDB page for more
details.
Crackle is more than just a
movie app, it allows you
to watch full episodes of your favorite TV shows in a HD full screen
player, also IMDB search is available for all the titles you can think
of. This is a great app, but it has some drawbacks: its TV streaming in
HD is very data transfer intensive, so if you don’t have an
unlimited data plan,
you should think of getting one, of search for the nearest Wi-Fi
hot-spot and it drains your battery dry, so keep a charger near you.
6. VLC Direct Pro
Moving to the realm of
video streaming, VLC Direct
Pro is a perfect app for streaming videos from your computer to your
Android smartphone in very high quality, or, if you have a video on your
phone and want to watch it on your big PC screen, it’s also possible
using VLC player, the player that runs any known video format.
7. TV.com
This app is yet another
TV streaming software
designed by CBS to transmit full episodes of their shows to every
Android owner. The picture quality is great, but you do need a sturdy
data connection to view the episodes, because, as you all know, TV
streaming can really put a dent in your data plan.
Top 5 iPhone Movie Apps
This app is similar to
YouTube in the fact it has an
impressive collection of videos for you to enjoy on your iPhone or
iPad. It has plenty of content, rating and the interface is really user
friendly. Though, in my opinion, not as good as YouTube itself, it comes
in really close.
If you are far from a PC and can’t access IMDB,
Movie Genie
is probably the best substitute from getting any information on movies,
from quotes to cast to release dates, Movie Genie is one of the
best movie apps for iPhone. You’ll be amazed by how simple it is to use and how well and fast it gets the job done.
Lets take this scenario: You found a really nice looking movie, you
decide to go down the street to your local Movie rent, but on the way
there you forgot the name of the movie. What do you do?
iPhilix
is the answer! This little app is more of a “bookshelf” for your watch
list, where you can store all your titles and information about the
movies you like and want.
