I find it accurate, fast, and I like that I can manage my Netflix, see showstimes, read reviews, get directions, and view trailers all inside one free adless app.

Excellent, the desk slamming is catching on. Pity the actual app doesn't work for you, though. I don't see the buy movie button for every theater, but it does work for most of them here in Toronto.

It won't show the showtimes screen for any of the nearby theaters. If I tap on a theater, it shows what movies are playing and underneath each movie it shows the times. However, if I tap the arrow on the right side of the movie then tap Showtimes at the top it says No Showtimes. I'm assuming this would be how I would use movietickets.com to buy my tickets. Maybe no theaters around here support movietickets.com ? Either way, thanks again for the review. I wish it worked, but no Movies Now! *SLAMS DESK* for me.

Weird, the Now! Tab definitely works for me. I tried it on a couple of movies and showtimes before writing this. Good point about the radius, though. I consider that fine because I’m downtown and prefer showtimes within walking distance, but I forgot about driving 😛

Btw, don’t forget to slam your desk. 😉

The 'Now!' tab is definitely a nice idea. However, what is wrong with it? It shows nearby movies but if I tap the arrow for details on the movie then tap on showtimes, it says no showtimes available. If there are no showtimes available how did it know to show it on the Now! tab?

Also, it doesn't seem to allow you to increase the radius for the theaters shown in the Now! tab and the built-in radius is extremely small. The only theater it shows for me is 4 miles away while there are many theaters less than 7 miles away. Anyway, thanks for the review but the app could use a lot of work. I'll be sticking with Flixster for now! 😀
