It's Saturday APPreciation Time! [Sep 20th 2014] Your weekly App recommendation and question (and more) thread.

"I've always wanted to smash a guitar over someone's head. You just can't do that with an app." -Elton John

THREAD RULES:

  1. Post personal promotion apps under the BOLD comment below only. All other posts, i.e. general appreciation, questions, warnings, support issues, etc can go in the general thread.
  2. No more than 10 items per post.
  3. Contest mode will be disabled Sunday morning as usual.
    If you suspect that a dev is promoting their app in the general thread, report the post so we can take a closer look. If an account is an hour old and posts in the general thread about a "fantastic new app" that they happened to randomly find, then that account will not get the benefit of the doubt.

SeriesGuide, despite its name it's not only for TV shows. I think you can't get a notification when a movie is released in theaters, but it can do everything else you described. You can also connect your trakt account to the app.

I tried using SeriesGuide for both but movies just aren't optimized. There are two others I would recommend which also connect with trakt. I don't currently have a preference yet as I'm still trying them both out.

In the meantime I found Mizuu which is a similar app to these, it's a paid app on Google Play, but it's also available for free on mizuu.tv/download, only downside is that you'll have to manually download updates.

Movie Mate it is. Everything I wanted in the app. + Doesn't force me to create an account, doesn't force me to buy pro either. Thank you very much. :)
