RottenTomatoes !
Are you tried of googling current movies on your phone ? Are you frustrated by too much information overload looking for some basic information about a movie?? You are in luck ! This simple app uses the RottenTomatoes API to bring quick information about a movie to your fingertips !
The RottenTomatoes app was built as part of the Ios CodePath iOS Mobile Bootcamp. This simple and clean looking app displays a list of top movies to the user and lets the user see details for each movie.
In addition to the main screen with the list of movies, the user is able to get details of a particular movie by tapping on the movie cell. The detail not includes actors and synopsis, but also shows box office ranking so that you don't have to waste 3 hours at the movie theatre !
Finally, the app lets you share the movie details with your friends via email
The app checks for internet connection and gives the user a friendly message if network is not present
