GoodMovie - Mango App Spotlight

Apps

By George Ponder, Saturday, Oct 22, 2011 at 3:00 am

Trying to find a good movie? Look no further. The Windows Phone app GoodMovie is the app you want for such occasions. GoodMovie could easily be a must have app for your Windows Phone. If you're a movie buff, it's definitely a must have app.

GoodMovie taps into the Rotten Tomatoes film website and brings all the movie data to your Windows Phone. You can search movies by keyword or by a wide range of categories that include theatrical releases, movies just opening, upcoming titles, movies out on DVD, top rentals, and your recently reviewed titles.

When you pull up individual movie titles you will get pages that cover reviews, information about the movie (actors, synopsis, rating, etc.), images from the movie, news items, and YouTube videos (typically the movie trailers).

At the bottom of the movie title page you'll find button controls to access the search page, search Bing by the movie (pulls up theatrical locations if available), share the movie info via Windows Live, Facebook and Twitter) and pull up the movie via Rotten Tomatoes website.

GoodMovie will also let you pull up similar pages on individual actors that will include any Wikipedia listings for that actor. There is Live Tile support to display the last film you've viewed and images can be saved to use as Windows Phone wallpapers.

We are very impressed with GoodMovie and highly recommend it for anyone needing to find a good movie or for those who just enjoy catching up on movies. The app ran smoothly and has a nice, clean appearance. GoodMovie is a free application and you can download it here at the Windows Phone Marketplace.

That's my app, thank you! I hope people enjoy it, initially this was just an app I made for my self because I was missing being able to click on the actors and actresses in Flixster "like you can on most platforms :(". After a few friends asked for it, I decided to just release it.It is definitely a work in progress but I hope it is useful in most cases!I will update it soon with a few tweaks based on feedback, if anyone has any features they want added please send feedback in the app. So far I have extended cast info, larger font size and buttons with higher opacity on the list!Thank you again for the review!
