### 1/5 — Search is too limited to be useful

*2020-01-25*

As far as I can tell this apps searches are strictly limited to either the zip code you are in or the zip code you enter. There is no way to expand the search by entering a distance to search...meaning that if a theatre is only a couple of blocks away, but just over the border in a different zip code, this app won’t find it, unless you manually enter that zip code. So this app is only useful for finding showtimes of movies that are VERY close to you. I wanted an app that would let me have a wider search for arthouse or movies nearing the end of their run...in other words, films that may only be playing a little further away than my most local theatre. So this app isn’t useful for me.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback. The new version of the app uses a radius based search, so movies and theaters nearby, regardless of distance, get picked up now. It also runs a recursive search such that if low results turn out, it will widen the search radius automatically to bring in more results. We wanted to keep the user interface as simple as possible, we will consider your suggestion of allowing users to select a search radius in future releases. Thank you

### 5/5 — Fast and Straight to the Point
