Free movie listing app offers more than just showtimes

by Zach Okkema, Macworld.com

If you want to know what’s showing at the local movie theater and when it starts, Now Playing has the information you need. But Cyrus Najmabadi’s free iPhone and iPod touch app offers much more than just showtimes.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

Super and well thought out

Really easy to use and its obvious that a lot of thought went into this application. Good job developers!

The best movie app

Out of all the movie applications for the iPhone, I've enjoyed using Now Playing the best. It is a very well done app and I've been using it since its inception. The developer is always improving it and making this work better. While it has a lot of nice features, like upcoming movies and DVDs, I really like being able to turn those features off. I recommend that everyone have a copy of this app if you are at all interested in going to the movies.

Best Netflix App

Besides being great for new movie releases and new DVD releases, this is by far the best app out there to manage netflix. I use the new releases tab for DVDs and on the bottom of that page there is a button to add to your netflix queue. Much better than finding new releases even on the netflix website.

Best app out there for viewing and managing your Netflix.

This app is the best I have found to manage (add, delete, change order, rate movies...everything) my Netflix account. My only critique is that they need to add trailers. Most movies only have movie pictures, not a trailer.
