Looking to see what’s playing in your neighborhood movie theater, but out running errands? Well, the Fandango® app for the Palm Pre® is your answer.

The Fandango app is the mobile version of the Fandango.com website, which has all of the movies playing in local theaters as well as coming soon to a theater near you. The app presents movies in your area based on your location (which you allow the app to determine upon launching it). Fandango starts out with a list of movies opening in the current week. Click on a picture and you get a synopsis and where it is playing in a theater near you. There are three icons at the bottom of the screen. Tap the ‘Trailer’ icon, and you can watch the movie trailer, right on your phone. Tap the ‘Reviews’ icon, and you can read the latest reviews of the movie. Tap on the ‘Photos’ icon, and you can see photos from the movie. And the best part, you can buy tickets right on your phone, by choosing the location you want to see the movie at and tap ‘Buy’. Enter in your credit card information and the tickets will be ready for you at the movie theater.

Going back to the start screen gives you more movie viewing choices, by tapping the arrow next to ‘Opening this Week’ at the top of the screen, and a new list of movies pops up on the ‘Top Box Office’ list. Tap ‘Theaters’ at the very top of the screen and you can get a list of all of the movie theaters in your neighborhood. Then, pick a theater and it gives you a list of movies playing there, where you can choose to purchase a ticket for your show of choice.

Underneath the “Preferences and Choices” menu, you can choose your settings, such as saving purchases to the calendar, signing in to your Fandango account, editing your credit card information, or viewing your purchase history.

Fandango is a great app for your Palm Pre. It is user friendly, has all the current and upcoming movies and it makes purchasing movie tickets in advance very simple.
