Message Boards, Episode Guides And More Are Finally Integrated Into The IMDb App
July 12, 2012
From list management to notifications, the IMDb Movies & TV app has continued to improve over the past year. However, today's update is my favorite, integrating message boards, episode guides, and adding other long overdue features.
What will probably be the most utilized feature addition for the general user base, the episode guides provide season by season episode lists that are also broken down by year. Tapping on an episode title will display the full details page.
Still very high in demand, the next group of additions are easy message board, check-in, and add to Watchlist access. To add a show or movie to your Watchlist, just tap on the large "+" at the top-left of show and movie posters. Check-in and share what you're watching by selecting the Check-in option from the action menu of a details page.
As for the message boards, they can be accessed through the Community section, which is below the Did You Know section. The forum is displayed in a very basic text format with topics listed in thread view and messages within topics shown in a nested format.
To wrap things up, we'll briefly note that movies and shows now include filming location and soundtrack details, suggestions, and previously visited pages, i.e., History, can also be displayed by performing a tap and hold on the back button of any page.
IMDb Movies & TV is a universal app compatible with iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch running iOS 4.2 or later, and available in the App Store as a free download.
