Download Movreak 1.1 from Ovi

Movreak or Movie Freak is a social network-based mobile app around movies and cinemas. It’s all about viewing and sharing movie information, showtime, and seat plan, share your movie reviews and watchings, and share them all with email, SMS, Twitter, and Facebook.

Movreak is what movie freaks need. You can use it to view and share movies’ show time and place. You can browse now-playing movies, check the show time & places, and share to your friends by email or SMS, or tweet it to Twitter. Or rather, if you’re stuccoed in a place where there’s a theater nearby and you want to kill time by watching any movies there, then you simply just browse what movies are playing in that theater. Still, you have a chance to bring along your friends to watch the movie with you, by sharing the showtime to them.

There is a feature called User Reviews, where Movreak-ers can say anything about the movies they watched and give thumbs up or down. The reviews are honest opinions, not some crappy marketing reviews, so make sure you check User Reviews before watching a movie.

Current version of Movreak only supports data for Indonesia country. In Indonesia, it’s hard to check daily movie schedule from all cinemas, there is no single dedicated website/portal for such information. Movreak will be your only source of movie and schedule information for all cinemas, both 21 Cineplex and Blitz Megaplex. More countries and cities are coming up in the next version.

Introducing our new masterpiece, Movreak for Symbian. It introduces a new UI elements, a new Home among other things. Some UI elements are neon-based, inspired by Tron movie. Some backgrounds is in Batik pattern, considering this app is 100% Indonesia app, created by 100% Indonesian developers & company. Movreak for Symbian has reached version 1.1 that includes significant updates: smaller app size, new User Reviews, more responsive, among other stuffs.

We work really hard to make Movreak app has simple UIs, intuitive, easy to use, yet still pay attention to aesthetics. Here’re some screenshots.

Some key features of this version:

  • Now Playing. Display the list of movies are currently playing in selected city, no matter where they are played
  • Theater. Display the list of theaters in selected city.
  • User Reviews: dedicated tab for it. Now you can delete your comments, and reply/respond others’ comments. Also you can post your review to Twitter.
  • Setting. Ability to change City (among other things), will instantly change now playing and theater list and show time.
  • Post to Twitter from (almost) any pages
  • (Almost) everything is copy-able, movie name, movie detail, theater, schedule, etc.
  • Multi language: English and Bahasa
  • 31 supported cities in Indonesia: view complete list
  • In-app SMS and email to share schedule with your friends, directly from Movreak, without exit the app.
  • Daily local cache. Movie and schedule data will be stored in device on daily basis. So, you don’t have to download the data from internet each time you open Movreak.
  • Embedded web browser. So you can click a hyperlink in movie detail or view trailers via embedded web browser, without have to exit Movreak.

iOS4-specific features:

  • Multitasking, movie schedules can be downloaded in the background (an experimental feature)

Trik Sign-in with Facebook dengan Koneksi 3G

Beberapa user mengalami masalah sign-in with Facebook dari Movreak, terutama jika menggunakan koneksi internet 3G/GPRS/EDGE. Kalau di dalam iOS devices di-install Facebook app di iPhone, sign-in ke FB akan membuka app tersebut. Sign-in menggunakan koneksi 3G, tetap bermasalah. Tapi ada triknya, ini dia:

  1. Tutup Movreak dan Facebook app (untuk device yang support multitasking, pastikan app-app tsb sudah di-terminate dari multitasking bar)
  2. Buka Facebook app (dan sign-in kalau belum). Di halaman home, di kiri atas ada tombol Account, klik tombol itu. Lalu muncul action dialog, pilih “Account Setting“.
  3. Seharusnya, akan muncul login form. Nah, JANGAN login di situ, tapi tekan link “Full Site“, sehingga muncul form login mirip web Facebook yang versi desktop (full).
  4. Masukan username dan password, lalu pastikan mencentang checkbox “Keep me logged in” –> ini harus.
  5. Setelah berhasil login, akan muncul halaman Account Setting. Jangan ngapa2in di sini, tutup aja Facebook app.
  6. Nah, sekarang coba Sign in with FB dari Movreak. Seharusnya bisa.

Disclaimer: cara di atas kami coba dengan 3G Telkomsel. Kalau kami coba dari iPad menggunakan 3G Indosat M2, tetap nggak bisa.

Bugs on Create Event

Movie freaks yang sudah men-download update Movreak v2.1, pasti akan menemukan feature baru “Nonton Bareng”. Dengan fitur ini, kita bisa meng-create event “Nonton Bareng” dan meng-invite teman-teman. Fitur ini sebenarnya menggunakan Facebook event, sehingga Anda perlu sign-in ke Facebook sebelum dapat menggunakannya.

Seorang user menemukan bugs pada feature ini. Tanggal start dan end yang di-set di Movreak akan berbeda dengan event yang tampil di Facebook (web maupun iPhone app). Selama development, kami memang menemukan masalah terkait dengan waktu, dimana waktu yang di-submit akan diterjemahkan berbeda oleh Facebook. Dalam code Movreak, kami harus mengkoreksi nilai waktu yang di-submit agar Facebook menganggap waktu tersebut memang waktu yang seharusnya. Nah, ternyata sekarang koreksi tersebut menjadi salah karena kelihatannya ada perubahan di sisi Facebook.

So, kami perlu memperbaiki hal tersebut, dan memerlukan waktu untuk memperbaiki dan meng-upload-nya ke AppStore. Untuk sementara, Movreak users tetap bisa menggunakan fitur ini. Movreak app tetap akan menunjukkan waktu yang seharusnya, sehingga sesama pengguna Movreak app bisa meng-create event dan bisa saling meng-invite. Bugs ini baru terasa, jika Anda meng-invite friends yang tidak menggunakan Movreak untuk melihat event-nya.

Mohon maaf atas ketidaknyamanan ini. Please send us emails for further info and feedbacks. Thanks.
