Weekly iPhone Feature
Hello everyone and thank you for tuning the Inside Geek Canada. My name is Evan Thies, today’s are iPhone features, and we are taking to look at movie application for the iPhone. I have three movie application installed in my iPhone, all of it are free. And I am going to basically show you my favorite one called Now Playing and show you some of the features that offers. Because it does some great features that kind of combine the two other few ones I have and kind of, it is the best one over all that I have seen so far for the iPhone that is free.
So, let us take a look at it. All right, so around the iPhone main screen here, where the icons are for the movie applications and that is why I have not installed are called Now Playing, Show Times and Movies. Now, the one that we are we going to talk about is Now Playing because I think it is the strongest one by far other than three free applications. Let us just go ahead and launch that.

Now, the first thing I want to talk about is the settings tab. Now, there are four tabs down here as you can see, and the settings tab basically determines what kind of movie information you are going to see. So first, you have your location. Now, location just can be done for you by using the iPhone’s feature to find your location but you can also type in your postal code or zip code. And the next feature is Search Distance and I back rank up to 50 kilometers but you can just go in here and you can actually scroll through here and see how many kilometers or miles you busy, we want this to be and you can click Save there, away from your home to see the theaters.
The Search Date today that basically looks at what movies are up today. The Reviews, what kind of reviews are on, I chose Rotten Tomatoes. There is I believe media critic in there as well. I preferred Rotten Tomatoes personally. Auto-Update, Use Small Fonts, kind of amphitheater, so those are not really that important. So this sets the key features for the application define what is coming.
All right, the first tab here is movies. So let us go ahead and click on that. You see here there are three tabs at the top title, release and score. Now, if you go by title, these are all the movies that are currently on the theater sorted by title. You can go by release date, and this is one moth ago, two months ago or three weeks ago, what came out today in the theaters. And then, you can also check the score. So this is the Rotten Tomato score and it shows you obviously the best first to the worst so you can just go ahead and sort through those.
Now, this shows all the current releases. So if you want to see Show Times for this movie, you click on the Movies. So let us go ahead and check the Dark Knight and in the movie, you get details about the movie, the basic write-up, the length, the rating. You can play the trailer, read the other reviews. You can email the list to somebody as well as here, you will see the listings flow under it of which theaters in your area are playing in and what times. So, this is quite useful if you are just or about and you want to go catch a movie, you can see the Show Times.
You can actually get quite detailed information as well, so if I click on the Times here, you will see it has the address, the phone number and the ticket availability. You can get quite a lot of information just for finding the listings just by using your iPhone. The next tab is Theaters. Now theater is great to find, all the theaters in you local area. So you can sort them by distance and they shows how far away they are from your current location as well as sort them by name and just alphabetizes them. And then, from there, you can actually if you click on any of this, you can click on them and they will show you the Show Times for all the movies that are currently playing there, as well as you can see with the address and the phone number.
