Movie Genie

If you’re like me and have a lot of conversations with people about movies and TV shows, you need Movie Genie. When you open Movie Genie, the app immediately opens the search screen – this is the kind of thing that I applaud developers for, it’s the simple things that help with speed that makes the great apps great. Instead of everything being in one long list, Movie Genie separates the movie details into “Details” and “Cast & Crew”. The “Details” section contains the usual quick stuff: release date, genre, plot, etc. Also certain things are able to be clicked, like Trivia and Goofs, so that you can go to a longer page for each of these features. “Cast & Crew” is obviously where you would find the director, screenwriter, other people important to the film, and the cast. I love the idea of splitting the pages into two. Having the cast and an actor’s filmography at easy access at the top of the pages just helps to further increase the speed of the two most sought after details of a movie. When I jump on IMDB, the two most common things that I am looking for are who plays someone in a movie or what other movies someone played in. Other than search, at the bottom are two other features that I think are great ideas: history and favorites. That way if there is a certain movie or actor that you’re constantly looking up, you have them on a list for easy access, once again I have to say a huge plus. All in all this is an easy to use, and yes, very useful app.  So if you are one of those movie know it alls then you simply must have this app.
