iPhone iPad

With its simplicity and clean user interface, this app has gained a huge following in a short period of time. While it does have most of the features you expect in a Showtimes finder, it doesn't have nearly as many features or added bonuses as the essential apps. It brings you listings of the local theaters, their showtimes, and if you click on the movie poster, the trailer will play. That is it. The interface is classy and can be quite stunning, it loads relatively quick, and there were no ads to be found in this free app. This is a must-have for the movie-goer that doesn't care about which actors star in the movie or what rating others have given it.

What is it about?

If you see movies at the same theaters over and over, Wigglehop is for you! That’s because we’ll never show you movies from theaters you never go to. Just pick your favorite theaters, movies you want to see from those theaters, a few showtimes you can actually make, and boom! You’ve just made your first Wigglehop movie plan. Share it on Facebook and Twitter and invite friends over text or email!
