to add on, movie lovers could also give 'now playing' a try. now playing seems to run faster due to simple interface than the cineapps. but cineapps does give accurate movie posters in it. haha As for now playing, the time and telephone are accurate for the respective cinemas, but unfortunately, they tend to post the wrong pictures onto the selected movies (especially for chinese movies). for examples, the bandids and assasins has sylvester stallone's picture in it and the treasure hunter by jay chow has another picture of some western movie in it.

both are great applications for movie portal.

btw, i do encounter cineapps unable to run at times and i couldn't find the cinema in one U in there too. anyone facing the same prob or only me?
Hi,

You can find both the GSC and TGV cinemas under "Petaling Jaya". We have checked the app and found out that CineApps is not running slower than "Now Playing" because of the interface. There are times where the loading takes a bit of time because of the server. Since this is our first app, we did not invest a lot in the hosting server.

Since we can see our app is quite successful, it is now ranked 18 in "Entertainment" category in just mere few days of released, this time we will invest more in the hosting server. We will make sure that the app is good enough for everyone to use. Please let us know if there are any problems that you face when using CineApps and we will try and fix it. There are times where the loading speed is not affected by the hosting server but due to the unstability of the mobile internet connection.

hei, thanks for the info. haha now i got most of it out of this application. thanks man. haha dun get me wrong.. i am not criticizing the apps as i even placed it in the first page of my spring board and the now playing at the last after i downloaded the apps. I am totally supportive with this app and is looking forward for future enhancement from u guys.

since i have only two apps for movie portal, i am just comparing my opinions after using both apps.

practically i have no issues on this apps and love the way that u guys have designed it. like u said, the loading speed maybe either affected by the hoisting server or the mobile internet. so i have no comments on that. will raise further issues if there's any to help make it better.

great job guys  rclxms.gif  rclxms.gif  notworthy.gif
Hey bro,

Don't worry. In fact, we really love to hear feedbacks from the users. With feedbacks, then only we are able to create better apps. We will improve CineApps from time to time. We know there is a bug at the "Favorite" section and we have submitted the fix for it. It is now awaiting for Apple's approval and will be released as soon as it is approved. smile.gif

With the full support from all the brothers and sisters here, our CineApps finally made it to Top 100 Free Apps in just 3 days. notworthy.gif

haha no worries bro. with a great apps, i have no doubts on it's capabilities of being top 100.

oh? u mean the part where once u click it to favourites, u can't unclick it?

Hi,

When you click on the "heart" shape icon, the cinema is automatically added to the favorite list. You are unable to unclick it to remove from the favorite. To remove from the favorite list, you have to go to the "Favorite" section and delete it. It is not a bug actually as we did not enable the unclick function. We enable the function in next version.

The bug that i mentioned is that you are unable to click on the first cinema that added into the "Favorite" list. Do not worry as we have already fixed the problem in the next update which is waiting for Apple's approval.

This would be great! But if it can allow us to choose our seats, it would be perfect!

You should be able to choose the seats once the ticket buying system is developed.

Hi,

Initially we planned to release CineApps with the "Star Rating" and "User Review" systems but there are still some coding problems which we are still working on it. Since it is going to take a while to solve it, we had decided to release the first version with the very basic features such as movie showtimes and movie trailers. I will post the update as soon as the review system is ready.

Hi CineApps,

Thanks for the great apps, at last we have a proper cinema showtime for the Malaysians.

Btw i would prefer if you were to list down all the cinema available in malaysia by state instead of the city. the reason is simple... go to the tgv n gsc website... they are use to list it that way.... n for me i was quite use to it... n i was quite surprise when my 1st login that i did not see klang cinema until i realise that i need to click on the kuala lumpur name for me to switch to klang city.... for us ppl in klang valley i guess to travel from petaling jaya to subang or to shah alam is just a short distance, hence i believe the categorizing should work in state instead of city.....

that is just my opinion.... overall the whole concept were ok.... but lacking in speed....it tooks sometimes too load.... n i do understand that you all were not invest on the hosting server heavily for the current progress...

and the main page should not be favourite... i found it weird when i login for the 1st time....as i do not see anything and were thinking issit hang... probably your main page can autoload to the current blockbuster movie... n from there i believe you can find another piece of biz.... smile.gif

just my 2cents.

Thanks again.

We will look into the listing system and try to work something on it. Are you suggesting that we should group all the cinemas in Kuala Lumpur, Puchong, Klang, Putrajaya, Petaling Jaya and Kajang under the same category as Kuala Lumpur? If all the cinemas were to group under 1 same category, the list of cinemas will be very long.

Actually we had invested on the hosting server but we did not expect our application to be so popular. The sudden increase of the users are unexpected. We will definitely invest more on the hosting server so that you guys will have a more pleasant user experience while using our app. You can support us by viewing the ads displayed and give reviews in iTune.

Regarding the "Favorite" section, we still feel that putting it as home page is appropriate as the users will be able to view their favorite cinemas immediately after logging in to our application. I believe most of us have our own favorite cinemas.

We are dealing with the cinemas now to have the ticket booking system integrated in our application. Cathay Cineplexes had approved us.

Hi Guys,

We have released CineApps version 1.20. We have fixed some minor bugs and changed the name to CineApps Malaysia. We received feedbacks from our users that they were unaware that CineApps is for Malaysian. Therefore to avoid any confusions, we therefore name it CineApps Malaysia.

We do receive feedbacks from our users that our CineApps interface are too fancy therefore making the loading slower. This is not true. We are using basic interface which will not affect the loading speed. The loading speed is due to the sudden heavy load in the server and sometimes might be due to the laggy line from the mobile operator. We have tested the app using EDGE and 3G. It is working fine. Anyhow, we will keep upgrading the hosting server from time to time to allow better user experience.

We will be releasing Cathay ticket booking and movie review in the next upcoming version 2.0. Please stay tune for it.

p/s : If our app name did not appear in the "Upgrade" section in iTune, please click on our app and re-install. This is a bug maybe due to the app name has been changed. So sorry for the troubles caused.

And 1U is located in the "Petaling Jaya" section. We will work something on the list or maybe group everything in "Kuala Lumpur" category instead.

notworthy.gif notworthy.gif CineApps Malaysia is now rank no. 1 in Entertainment category. Thanks to you all. notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Added on January 29, 2010, 11:07 amWe have received some feedbacks from users that sometimes the movie showtimes or movie details are unable to load.

We have tested the application intensively and found out that the application crash and unable to load because of the network unstability. We have test it on WIFI connection and the application is running perfectly fine.

At the same time, we will keep improving on our app to make sure it is not affected by the network unstability to give all the CineApps users a better user experience.
