Fandango Movie App Comes To iPad
The iPad's app store continues to flourish. With many tablet makers
still scrambling to catch up with Apple's bombshell, the iPad's app
store is showing no signs of slowing down. The amount of applications
available for the 9.7" version of iOS is impressive, and now, there's
even a customized version of the Fandango app. Fandango is a movie
ticket buying service, widely used by people to reserve tickets in
advance to ensure they get a seat to shows that are likely to sell out.
It's available now in the App Store, and the iPad-specific build includes quite a few new features. That includes: "The Pulse," a visual representation of the company's hottest ticket sellers, viewable in both list and map formats; movie reviews from professional critics and film fans alike, plus movie-related tweets, all on one large Multi Touch screen; map integration that knows a moviegoer's location and helps her find titles, theaters, showtimes and tickets; expanded video, photos, trailers, clips and exclusive interview features that take advantage of the large, high-resolution HD display.
Of course, the app is free to download, but those movie tickets definitely aren't. Can't necessarily have your cake and eat it too!
