Flix 1.0.9.5 – check movie timing and details on windows mobile phone

Flix is a nice little app for checking out local cinema times and info. It’s got some nice features like auto-sending texts about films and finding your location via GPS. It downloads information about the nearest cinemas and the films that are shown at them including a picture of the film’s poster, a plot summary and a cast list. With a click of a button, it will call the cinema of your choice or bring up Google maps (the app, not the website) and show you how to get there. It’s still a bit buggy and even crashed a couple of times during my video review, but despite this, it’s still a nice handy little app.

The list of countries that are supported

• Canada
• France
• Germany
• Italy
• Spain
• UK
• US

The dev told us Australia is most likely coming up in the next version, so Aussies keep an eye out for that.

Tested On : Touch Pro2

If anyone do try this on other resolutions plz do let us know if it works well on your device.

Pros:

• Brings up cinema locations in Google Maps
• GPS location triangulation and SMS auto-send features
• Quick way to check out cinema info

Cons:

• Still several glitches that need to be sorted
• Scrolling can be laggy on pages with images on

Possible Improvements :

• More Countries are always Welcome
• a UI make over

   Leider kaum Kinos für Deutschland verfügbar (auch keine in großen Städten).

   Schade, wäre sonst ein sehr gutes Programm.

   There aren´t many cinemas available for Germany. I´m living in a big City, but there aren´t cinemas available here.
