Moviefone For iPad Now Shows Critic Reviews, Becomes Canada-Friendly, And More

It has been nearly five months since the launch, and efforts continue to expand and fine tune the Moviefone app for iPad. Today's update allows for editing of the favorites section, adds critic reviews, provides a way to share movie showtimes, supports Canada addresses, and is already compatible with the upcoming iOS 5. The last update of Moviefone for iPad, back in July, introduced the favorites section. The new area offered a place for users to quickly access celebrities, movies, and video clips they enjoyed the most. Moviefone for iPad v1.2 adds an edit function to favorites, providing a quicker means to remove any celebrities, movies, and video clips you've changed your mind about highlighting. When looking over movie details, Moviefone for iPad already showed overall ratings by both critics and general audience members, plus a chatter section that listed tweets mentioning the film. As a way to provide further insight, the "chatter" section now includes critic opinions alongside the tweets and has been appropriately renamed "reviews." As should be expected, you can tap on the review excerpt to jump to the full article. Continuing a look at the movie details area, I shall move onto the showtime improvements. Residents in Canada can now find theaters nearby because Moviefone for iPad now supports Canada postal codes. After selecting your preferred theater, you should now see an action button to the right of the films. Tapping on said button will create a new email message containing movie and theater details with the selected date showtimes. Moviefone for iPad is compatible with iOS 3.2 or later, and available in the App Store as a free download.
