If you are a frequent movie goer or if you want to get notified about new movies in theaters in Singapore, Popcorn Plus might be the app you need. It can notify you when a certain movie is selling fast or when there are new movies.
Here are the enhancements on Popcorn Plus (there is a free version, Popcorn)
- Seat Indicators: Tell which showtimes are selling-out at a glance for Shaw, Cathay and GV.
- Showtime Alerts: Get notified when seats for a particular showtime are selling out. Just click on the icon on the top right corner of any specific showtime.
- Upcoming Movie Alerts: Ever wanted to be notified when that blockbuster you’ve been waiting for opens in cinemas? Now you can with Popcorn Plus!
Currently, I can only see Popcorn Plus on App Store and not on Android Market. Anyway, here is the Press Release.
