Filmaster released for Android

Filmaster has just released an Android version of the smart movie recommendation and schedule app and updated the iPhone version to include TV showtimes too, better serving the selection available to movielovers.

They are also adding local film festival support, serving the needs of film buffs on a local level. At launch, Filmaster is the official app for ten festivals in the UK and Poland, where the team is based. If a supported festival takes place in your town, you get a new tab in the app with showtimes, recommendations and reviews from this particular festival only.

The key benefits Filmaster brings users with the new release are:

  • Relevant movie suggestions that match your personal taste and current location thanks to the powerful social recommendation engine 
  • Local movie showtimes always in your pocket
  • Check-in to movies and screenings
  • Read movie synopses & reviews 
  • Watch trailers of latest releases 
  • Interact with friends and other movie lovers
  • Login with your current Facebook or Twitter account & share your ratings and reviews with friends and followers

The app works best in United Kingdom, United States and Poland. You can download it from Android Market (just search for “Filmaster”) or on Filmaster’s site. Beta was released in September 2011 as the official app for Raindance Film Festival in London, and a stable version of the app was released on December 4th. 

An update to Filmaster’s iPhone app was also released last week and you can get it for free from in the App Store. The iPhone app also supports TV recommendations, which are coming to Android later this year.
