flix is a movies app using the The Movie Database API.

Time spent: 10 hours spent in total

User Stories

The following required functionality is complete:

  • User can view a list of movies currently playing in theaters from The Movie Database.
  • Poster images are loaded using the UIImageView category in the AFNetworking library.
  • User sees a loading state while waiting for the movies API. Note: The data loads too quickly to see, but it's implemented'
  • User can pull to refresh the movie list.

The following optional features are implemented:

  • User sees an error message when there's a networking error.
  • Movies are displayed using a CollectionView instead of a TableView.
  • User can search for a movie.
  • All images fade in as they are loading.
  • User can view the large movie poster by tapping on a cell.
  • For the large poster, load the low resolution image first and then switch to the high resolution image when complete.
  • Customize the selection effect of the cell.
  • Customize the navigation bar.
  • Customize the UI.

The following additional features are implemented:

  • Tapping on the poster on the detail screen leads to the trailer for that movie - In progress!

Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):

  1. I think it'd be really cool to implement infinite scrolling with this app.
  2. I haven't yet learned how to implement the search bar, and would like to learn from my pod mates how to do so.
