Hi Guys,
You may remember a little application called 'Tomatoes' that launched onto the store in the first few weeks of the App Store opening it's doors. An application aimed at bringing the popular movie review site Rotten Tomatoes (www.rottentomatoes.com), to iPhone and iPod touch.
However Peter Boctor, the developer behind BoctorDesign (http://www.boctordesign.com/) hit the news pretty big, when Tomatoes was seemingly pulled (http://www.razorianfly.com/2008/peter-boctors-rotten-tomatoes-client-pulled-from-the-app-store/) from the store without any explanation whatsoever. Today the reason became clear. Peter was working on an enhanced purchasable version of the application, which was to be renamed.
The app? - Hot Popcorn, it's purpose? - to provide you with the latest movie information, show times, reviews, news, and more. At first, Hot Popcorn may seem to offer nothing more than the fruits of the big players, for example, Flister's Movies, but with it's slick UI, polished interface, and ability to purchase movie tickets within the application itself - it's now seeming to look some-what like a step up from the current competition. It's sort of the grown up paid version of Tomatoes.
We were one of the first to let you know about this transition a few weeks back here (http://www.razorianfly.com/2008/peter-boctor-returns-hot-popcorn-briefly/), and despite the iTunes description displaying the 5th Dec as the release date, the app has today made it's debut onto the App Store.
Peter was kind enough to let us have a promotional copy of Hot Popcorn,
so I'll be sure to give you my full opinion of the app at a later date.
Download size: 0.5MB
Released on: 22nd Dec 2008
Retails for: £2.39 / ~$3.50
The application hasn't even propagated to iTunes search yet,
so you'll be needing the direct App Store link below:
