First Look: Rotten Tomatoes iPhone App


Peter Boctor has created a free Rotten Tomatoes Application for the Apple iPhone called Tomatoes, which is now available on the Apple App Store. Tomatoes lets you quickly search for any movie using Rotten Tomatoes, without having to load the full webpage.

“Tomatoes is an iPhone and iPod Touch application that makes it easy and fast to search RottenTomatoes.com’s vast movie database. You swipe through your search results and see key information about each found movie including the movie photo, when it was released, it’s rating, who’s in it, a consensus about the movie and the Rotten Tomatoes score. Whether you’re at the movie theater, wandering through the video store or channel surfing, with Tomatoes on your iPhone or iPod Touch you are only moments away from finding out if a movie is the right one for you.”

Check out the demo video below.

Now if only someone would make an iPhone app for the Internet Movie Database…

    Why? RT >>>>> IMDB
  • OAKside
    "Why?"

    Because IMDb >>>>> RT

    (Who owns an _iPhone_? ;P)

    Hey!
    We need a /Film app!
    The website takes a while to load on the Browser,
    So im hoping for a /Film app down the line!

    This RT app is pretty cool too
  • Christopher Edwards
    /film doesnt need a app, it takes a while to load the first time and then it is fine.


    IMDB needs a app really soon, it will be very popular

    RT is a good app i had a look at it and thought it was okay for now.
  • shaunxgrine
    the boxoffice app has alot of RT on it check it out and its free
  • Kinda figured this was the future of film criticism. Makes sense.

    "(Who owns an _iPhone_? ;P)" ???

    Neither RT nor IMDB is better than the other, they just do two completely different things.

    RT gives you a ton of reviews and an aggregate score.

    IMDB gives you cast, crew, etc.

    Neither is a substitute for the other, and BOTH should have handy iPhone apps.

    And what about boxofficemojo? That would be great to see on an iPhone app as well, although it would be tricky to cram so much info onto a small screen.

    Milo is right.

    Also there's a fairly decent web app for IMDB.

  • Darn, I really want this. Anyone know of a good substitute for the iphone.

    When Tomatoes.app was first removed from the app store, it continued to work, for at least a week or so. I hadn't used it for a while, but today, although the app launches on the iPhone, it won't perform any searches.
  • Whens slashfilm gonna make an app....
