Find Similar Movies 1.0.9
Please read the complete description, thanks!Feedback is encouraged.What is it?This is an App that displays a list of movies similar to the movieyou search for.How does it work?1. You enter the name of a movie you're curious about.2. App contacts Rotten Tomatoes with the name.3. Now 3 things can happen:a. If the name is ambiguous, Rotten Tomatoes returns a list ofmovies that you might have meant to ask about. This list isdisplayed & you need to pick the right movie from the list.(This list is not the list of similar movies!) When you pick theone you want to search for, Rotten Tomatoes is contacted again toget a list of movies similar to the one that was picked.b. If the name is not ambiguous, Rotten Tomatoes returns a list ofmovies that are similar to the movie that you were searchingfor.c. Rotten Tomatoes does not have enough data about the movie you'researching for, so it returns nothing. :(4. Based on what the search input is, the App displays thecorresponding lists.Why does this exist?This App started out as a way to establish a simple way to look forsimilar movies. Rotten Tomatoes was chosen as the data sourcebecause they have a public API. No movie-matching calculation isdone in the App itself, the Rotten Tomatoes API is used to fetchall data.Does it always work? (Known Limitations)- As this is a public API, there are rate limits. Rates at the timeof publishing are limited to 5 API calls per second and 10,000calls per day.- Newer movies may not yield any results, this is dependent onRotten Tomatoes updating their databases.Disclaimers:- Everything displayed on the screen depends on data returned byRotten Tomatoes.- Nothing is stored locally.- No device specific information is transmitted.- A search history is not maintained.- I am not affiliated with Rotten Tomatoes.
