Target Grade: All Ages
Cost: Free
Platform: iPhone

    This app is a movie review app. This app can show movies in theaters right now, upcoming movies in theaters and on DVD, theaters near you, show times, reviews and ratings of different movies, and play trailers for upcoming movies and movies that are currently in theaters. I chose this app because I use it all of the time and it helps me find great movies and theaters.

    There are four main sections for this app. These sections are Top Box Office Movies with ratings and trailers, theaters near where you are, upcoming movies for theaters, and upcoming movies on DVD.

The first section of this app is Top Box Office Movies.

This section shows the Top Box Office movies and gives reviews about the app from people who have seen the movie. Also, once you click on the movie it gives you a rating from one star to five stars. You can also see a summary of the movie, the cast of the movie, what the movie is rated (PG, PG-13 ect.), the length of the movie, and you can watch the trailer. This section is very informative and gives you a lot of information about the movie.


The second section of the app is about theaters near you.

This app pinpoints where you are, and searches for theaters near you. You can set this app to look for theater that are within 5-10 miles of where you are, or a place that you put in. Once you click on a theater, it gives you the phone number and address of the theater. You can also see restaurants nearby the theater and show times of the different movies that the theater is showing. This section of the app is very useful because you can see what theaters you should go to for different movies.


The third section of this app is about movies that are soon coming to theaters.

This section is a list of movies categorized by the date that they are coming out in theaters. Once you click on the movie you can see the trailer, read the summary of the movie, see the cast, running time, and the rating. This section of the app is very useful because you can see if there are any movies that you would want to see in the future.


The last important section of this app is seeing DVDs that are soon coming out.

This section of the app shows movies that are soon coming out on DVD. Once you click on the movie it gives you review from people that have seen the movie. You can also see the rating of this movie, the length, a short summary of the movie, and a trailer of the movie. You are also able to see The genre of the movie and the date that it came out in theaters.


I believe that this app should be $0.99 because it does so much and it is so great, but it’s free!

I use this app all the time when I want to look for movies, DVDs, and theaters. The only problem with this app is that there are a lot of advertisements on it. Besides the advertisements, this app it great because it gives so many details about each specific movie, so you are able to find the movie you want. This app is great for all ages, it is simple and easy to use, and it’s free. This app is very useful to me and I use it all the time.
