Bath, United Kingdom – Renniksoft today is pleased to announce Movie Genius 4.9, their popular movie recommendation app for iOS devices. Movie Genius offers intelligent recommendations based on matching themes, plots, and audience opinion. Users can view trailers, cast and crew lists, biographies, Rotten Tomatoes reviews, link to IMDb and more. Movie Genius is supported by a database of tens of thousands of films and now syncs between devices using iCloud. Preferences such as saved lists, personal ratings, movie recommendations, and settings can be saved and transferred using iCloud.
With a unique movie matching algorithm that provides intelligent recommendations based on matching themes, plots, and audience opinion, Movie Genius users are prompted to rate films and indicate whether they liked it, didn’t like it, or just want to ignore its listing. Over a quarter million users have received more realistic recommendations and discovered new movies they might enjoy using Movie Genius.
“The way (Movie Genius) works is kinda like Netflix in a way,” says Steve and Raju of EPN.TV. “You go through lists of movie categories and specific titles and you say whether you like it or you don’t like it or if you’ve never seen it, you just ignore it. And based on that, over time, the app will recommend movies of things you might see.” (12 June 2012)
With Movie Genius, users can search upcoming movies, movies now playing in theaters, popular movies, and top rated movies. Listings in Movie Genius can include cast and crew lists, film overviews, biographies, filmographies, photos, movie trailers, critic reviews, Rotten Tomatoes ratings and an IMDb link. Movie Genius also provides the film’s MPAA age rating, its release date, duration, language, ratings by audiences and critics, votes, and where a film can be found available for streaming.
Best of all, Movie Genius has updated its app to now include all 20 movie genres within the free version, where only 8 genres were previously available.
Move Genius takes the app update one step further by adding a feature that has been requested and in demand by many avid Movie Genius users, which is the ability to synchronise using iCloud. Users can now handle Movie Genius cross-platform on iOS devices without skipping a beat. Preferences such as saved lists, personal ratings, movie recommendations, and settings are saved and transfered using iCloud.
