What is the Flixster Facebook Application?

Flixster allows you to rate and review movies and get recommendations from your friends. When you open the app, you’re taken to a window that allows you to search movies or find out showtimes for movies in your area. To give this app a test spin, I typed in Office Space in the search box. After hitting “Go” I was taken to a page dedicated to all things Office Space.

I was given all the info about the film including a synopsis, cast, director, rating, and when it was released. I was able to give Office Space a rating and small review and see what other have rated and said about the film. There’s also a space that tells me which of my Facebook friends have seen and reviewed Office Space. Finally, the app offers suggestions of movies that are similar to Office Space.

On your profile page, you’ll find a list of your most recently reviewed movies. If you friends have the app installed, you can see what they’ve been watching lately.

Flixster Pros

• Does an amazing job leveraging Facebook’s network ability.
• Easy to use interface.
• Useful information. I was impressed with the movie recommendation feature.

Flixster Cons

• I really couldn’t find anything wrong with the app. They did a great job. If you have any critiques, I’d love to hear them.

Flixster is probably the best Facebook app I reviewed so far. Its biggest strength is that it leverages Facebook’s social network to the max. It also created a tool that didn’t already exist with just the normal Facebook site. Developers should definitely take a lesson from Flixster on how to create apps.
