The app is the first to allow simple social interaction over various networks including facebook and twitter with a focus on upcoming movies. A single tap allows users to ‘check-in' to upcoming films and interact with friends and followers around the globe.
Over 5,000 fans (from 70 countries) of the upcoming film ‘The Hunger Games' Catching Fire have flocked to the app by way of, and for, its unique social features. By checking in with each other, tweeting about the film, and counting down with friends, fans have been able to connect in new, revolutionary ways.
"I check-in to Movie Clock on my iPod touch everyday to see who is waiting for The Hunger Games just like me. " said Victoria Hanson, 10 years old. "It's so cool to see someone from Australia or Israel is counting down the days too."
Movie Clock's central feature is its unique ever-running countdown clock for individual movies coming soon to theaters. Users can easily search the extensive movie database for their favorite upcoming movie and set an alert to remind them on the film's day of release.
"We wanted the singular countdown experience to extend beyond the app." Nathan Rose, CEO of FlickDirect said. "Allowing your network to tap into the movies you are following really makes the anticipation for that new release much more fun and exciting."
Once checked-in, users will be able to see how many others around the world are counting down with them and connect with new friends and followers who share the enthusiasm for their favorite films.
Other extended features of Movie Clock include the ability to find show times for local theaters based on your GPS coordinates, in-app ticket purchasing and newly added streaming movie trailers.
"Users are going to love everything we've added." Said Rose "I find myself opening Movie Clock multiple times each day just to check the updates of my movies and see when I can be the first to buy tickets. It's awesome as a fan to watch the momentum start building for a film towards the day of release as well."
Eric English, President of FlickDirect Inc. and lead developer, has been surprised by the international appeal of Movie Clock despite the app focusing on North American release dates. "I've had apps I've developed rank high in other countries but nothing as exciting as this. It really speaks to the universal language of film and love of sharing."
"Bringing all of these great movie focused features into one app was the vision when we began [the development process]" added English "With version 5.5 we finally got it all together in one streamlined package you can enjoy with friends around the world."
Movie Clock has a growing database of Movies with current release dates up to 2016. FlickDirect strives to include every movie regardless of genre. "If it's not there, just ask. I'll add it in personally!" Said Rose.
