iPad App of the Day - Fanhatten

Fanhattan for iPad
Fanhatten, 7.3 mb, FREE














Fanhattan is a must for iPad movie and TV lovers. Here, is the combination of much convenient information and the measure of your moving picture obsessions. It's best feature, finding a movie or TV show. Then swipe to the side to find the fastest way to watch it, hopefully available on iTunes, Netflix, or Vudu. The rest is easy information on the go, including top casting/crew credits, plot, reviews,clips. Users can step further and seek out related Facebook Pages, buy the soundtrack if available on iTunes and other merchandise. 

While this app tends to feature new and popular movies, it does not disappoint where such features really matter to us movie geeks. Pretty much every search turned out results including such obscure classics as Black Belt Jones and Monster Squad. Quick price comparisons between iTunes and Vudu (and hopefully more) help, if I need to save a buck or two on instant viewing, but also nice to know when something is not readily available.

Fanhattan is still fresh after a few months and needs time to grow. Later, I hope they will add the existence of Hulu, Crackle and more instant viewing services. Perhaps in time, they will have a following as large as other social networking hubs as GetGlue as they have some similar features. But for now, Fanhattan is at least a worthy reference resource for your iPad.
