Customer Reviews
Better than Movies.app
I've tried both boxoffice and movies.app, and this one is definitely better. Less button presses to show movie times, and all the movies ( and times) are shown on one page. Can't beat that!
Simple
I like this app much more than Movies.app because more information is at your fingertips faster. I also like that it has RT ratings and a quick sort by theatre of by movie title. I wish it had the ability to store my favorite theatres. Overall a nice straightforward app with little fluff, and intuitive interface.
Best of the two free movie apps
Superior to Movie.app in that it lists the info you need most (such as the times of the movies) more quickly. With BoxOffice, you can sort by movie or theatre (like Movie.app) and when you select one, it will show you all the places and times or movies and times, respectively, right away. Movie.app makes you choose a movie, then the theatre, then scroll down for the times. The interface is tight, it's location-aware, and remembers your location. The only downside to BoxOffice is it's lack of current top grossing movies, but isn't that what iMDb is for?
