Movies.app v1.0 | Published by Jeffrey Grossman | Via App Store | Free | Released: 6-26-08



Trying to find when and where the Dark Knight is playing? Well, if you’ve got an iPhone, you’re not without choices. Last Thursday’s launch of the App Store saw 4 such applications vying for your attention.

In an effort to cut through the madness and bring you the latest & greatest, AppleiPhoneApps.com has made it our mission to go through each one so you don’t have to.

We’ve laid out all the pros & cons, found the features that make each one unique, and even created detailed video demos to aid you in your selection.

Our first installment is Movies.app by Jeffrey Grossman.

Pros

• Free
• Ability to watch the trailer in the app
• You can buy tickets, place theatre on a map
• Allows you to see movietimes for shows up to 2 days in advance
Box Office Stats (only app available with this feature)
Opening Soon (only app available with this feature)

Cons

No Auto-find location, must manually input your zipcode (only app with this flaw)
• Ratings are not defined. We do not know the source rating the movie
• No Movie Descriptions, only link to IMDB which leaves the app
• From box office screen, you can’t click the movies to get show times
No Save State, so if you click one of the options that takes you out of the app (Place theatre on a map, buy tickets, or view IMDB) you must redo your search when you reenter app (only app with this flaw)
