App of the day – Movie Roll

Yes, there are similar apps already available on Google Play, but Movie Roll differs from them and has become my favorite these days, because of the interface, design, information it gives to you and the features it has.

After you open the app the main menu is very simple, but yet it has nicely arranged and unique categories. First it will show you what is popular right now.

The second feature is “What movie should I watch?”, which is the feature I liked the most. The app will ask you 3-4 questions and it will recommend you the best movie, according to your answers. This is pretty good to use if you want to watch a movie, but you can’t find the one that suits you the most.

Then there are the “Subgenre Charts”, which will offer you unique lists created by the developers. There are uncharacteristic genres like movies with “Greatest Twist Ending”, or “Time Travel” movies.

Then is the Upcoming category, in which you can see which movies will come out in the next period. The Top 10 Box Office and Top 10 DVD Releases will obviously show you what is popular and most watched at the moment. The new DVD releases category will show you which new movies finally got a DVD release.

“Random Movie” is another interesting feature, which will enable you to find and select movies very fast. Also at the end of the main menu there are random trailers of new or upcoming movies.

It is pretty amazing how many information the app will give you about certain movie. You can watch trailer directly from the app, there is info about the year, genre, IMDb, Flixter and Rotten Tomatoes ratings, theater release, DVD release, Runtime, Country, Budget, Revenue, Critics consensus and Film Studios that were involved in creating of the movie. Also, you can see the cast, photos, reviews or find similar movies.

I think that I’m going to keep Movie Roll, because of the tons of features it offers me and because of the detailed info about certain movie. I think that people who frequently watch movies should also install it and try it.
