Showtimes Review

Find out what’s playing at a theater near you

Continuing our look at the many apps that help you find movie listings—such as the free Movies ()—we turn our attention to Showtimes. Finding where and when a movie is playing has progressed from looking in your local paper to running a quick Web search. But neither of those methods can tell where you are at a given moment and show you what’s playing around you. That’s what makes Avantar's location-aware Showtimes so helpful. (For some reason, the company also offers a nearly identical app, OneTap Movies, that's the same as Showtimes except for some changes in color scheme and background.)

Good Movie Times

I also like the movie preview though with the slow 3G its hard to watch.


enjoyable movie app

The basic features in this app are great - find a theater near you (by GPS or zip code), link to metacritic,rotten tomatoes and IMDb, play the trailer, etc. You can also mark your favorite theaters as favorites so they show up first.However, if you're looking for more theaters than the dozen or so auto-generated, it's very difficult to get more. I live in an area where the closest theaters aren't necessarily the easiest to get to, nor are they good quality -- so expanding my search is important.


I use it when I go to the movies every week

I'm a movie lover so this app is my favorite. Great to know it rates higher than the other competitors. Love it!
