Search is too limited to be useful
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.

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
Super helpful
This app work great: goes straight to the point. You search for movies and it shows you all the theaters around you that play each movie. It is fast too. I have been looking for something like this for a while, no clutter, no ads, clean and easy. Recommended.

Quick way to see what’s playing in your neighborhood. Easy to navigate and fast, gets you all the movie details and all the theaters it’s playing at near you, super convenient.
Fast and Straight to the Point
Fast and easy way to look up currently playing movies in my area. App shows all the relevant movie details. Selecting a movie show time takes me directly to Fandango to finalize my transaction.
