ipod touch review
Movie Night Out [iTunes link] is a free app for the iPhone and Android (Android) that is designed to help answer the question, “what do you want to do tonight?” The app is pretty ingenious because it not only helps you find movies playing in your area, but also find places to eat or grab coffee after the flick.
You can tell the app what kind of movie you want to watch — say you want a comedy or a drama — and it will use your location to show you what’s playing at theaters near you. You can then find nearby restaurants or coffee shops for post-movie bliss.
It’s like a cheat sheet for date night!
2. EW Must List – iPad and iPhone
Each week, Entertainment Weekly offers a rundown of what movies, books, music and TV shows shouldn’t be missed. EW has also made this information accessible on the iPhone (iPhone) [iTunes link] and iPad [iTunes link]. Using the app, you can watch trailers, read reviews and get release information all from within the app.
Every Friday, 10 new picks are added to the list and you can review picks from the last four weeks right on the app. You can also buy movies directly from iTunes, if it’s something that has just been released on home video — or get quick links to purchase movie tickets.
3. Miso – iPhone and Android
Sometimes the best way to get an idea of what to watch is to see what your friends are watching. That’s the idea behind Miso, one of the hot new entertainment checkin services on the scene.
Like GetGlue, which we covered in our roundup of apps for movie lovers, Miso lets you earn badges and check in to different content. The real benefit, however, is that you can see what your friends are watching and also see what movies or TV shows are currently trending or are popular. It’s a great way to get a reminder of a flick you want to check out or rewatch.
Miso is free and available for iPhone [iTunes link] and Android.
4. Movies Now HD and FandangoIn North America, two of the most popular online movie ticketing services are MovieTickets.com and Fandango. Combined, these services cover nearly every major movie chain. While you can buy tickets or browse showtimes from a mobile web browser, there are apps for both services as well.
Fandango has a free app for iPhone [iTunes link] and Android, while MovieTickets.com has an unofficial (and beautifully executed) app by way of Movies Now HD [iTunes link].
Both apps offer upcoming films, trailers and synopsis info. Fandango even provides access to the Metacritic rating of a film.
5. Clicker – iPhone and Android
We’ve covered Clicker (Clicker) before. It’s a web service and iPhone [iTunes link] and Android app that lets you find out what type of content is available to watch online, as well as what your friends are watching.
The cool thing about the Clicker mobile apps is that you can get movie information on the go, manage your Clicker playlist, see what titles are trending and see what your friends are watching. You can also search for mobile-friendly video, and on the iPhone you can purchase movies or TV shows from iTunes.
Like Miso, Clicker is a cool way to get ideas based on what others are watching, but it goes one step further by letting you know what’s available to watch online.
