MovieDay for Android keeps track of upcoming movies for you

If you like to watch movies, you are probably keeping an eye on upcoming movies that you are interested in.

Maybe it is one of the new Star Wars movies that is coming out, the next Marvel flick or something completely different.

Whatever it is, you may find an app like MovieDay for Android useful as it assists you in keeping track of all the upcoming movies you are interested in.

The app requires no extra permissions during installation, something that is always nice to see.

It loads a blank screen on start and it is up to you to use the built-in search to start adding movies you are interested in to the list or browse a list of upcoming movies instead to add them this way.

The search works exactly as you would expect it to. A tap on the plus icon opens the search menu which displays results on the screen based on your search phrase as you type.

One issue that you may encounter at this point is that the app lists past, present and upcoming movies in the results which does not make a whole lot of sense considering that most users may not want to keep track of movies that have aired already.

To use the Star Wars example, you get all six previous movies plus The Force Awakens and other upcoming movies such as Star Wars VIII, Star Wars IX and even fan made movies.

A click on "add to list" adds the movie to the watch list. You may repeat this for other movies in the results, or run a new search to add other movies instead to your watch list.

The app keeps tracks of movies that you want to watch and watched movies, and this is probably the main reason why past movies are displayed in the search results.

While some may find this handy, most may not want to use the app for keeping track of movies they have already watched as there are better applications for that.

The browse option displays various movie lists including upcoming, now playing and popular. The upcoming list displays only movies that are yet to come out while all other lists display movies that can already be watched in theaters across the country.

The app focuses on the US market exclusively which means that it is of less use if you are not living in the US. There is no option provided currently to switch the setting to another country.

Closing Words

You may want to take MovieDay for a test ride if you live in the US and like to watch movies in theaters. The app has its uses if you are not living in the US, as most movies will get released eventually in other countries as well albeit not necessarily on the same day.

    2G?

    Where on the planet is that still in use? I was forced to give up using my RAZRV3 years ago because 2G was phased out by AT&T.

      Everywhere 3G has been turned off and you don’t have LTE coverage, and believe me there are many developed countries where this is the case and if it weren’t for 2G you wouldn’t even be able to make a phone call.

      Maybe I missed it, but I don’t believe tha term “2G” is in the article. Perhaps you are referring to “AGM G2”??

        @Tachy,
        @Martin P.,

        For over two weeks now,
        I’ve been seeing “Comments” posted by subscribers appearing in different, unrelated articles.

        For the time being,
        it would be better to specify the “article name and URL” at the beginning of the post.

    @tachy a lot of non-phone devices with a sim in them rely on 2G, at least here in europe.
    Usually things reporting usage or errors/alarms on something remote that does not get day to day inspection in person. They are out there in vast numbers doing important work. Reliable, good range. The low datarate is no problem at all in those cases.
    3G is gone or on its last legs everywhere, but this stuff still has too much use to cancel.

    Anyhow, interesting that they would put that in. I can see the point if you suspect a hostile 2G environment (amateur eavesdroppers with laptop, ranging up to professional grade MITM fake towers while “strangely” not getting the stronger crypto voip 4G because it is being jammed, and back down to something as old ‘stingray’ devices fallen into the wrong hands).

    But does this also mean that they have handled and rolled out a fix for that nasty 4G ‘pwn by broadcast’ problem you reported earlier this year? I had 4G disabled due to that, on the off chance that some of the local criminals would buy some cheap chinese gear, download a working exploit and probe every phone in range all over town in the hope of getting into phones of the police.

    >”While most may never be attacked in stingrays, it is still recommended to disable 2G cellular connections, especially since it does not have any downsides.”

    The downside would be losing connectivity. I spend a lot of time way out in the countryside where there’s often no service or almost none. My network allows 2G, and I need it sometimes. I have an option on the phone to disable 2G, I may do that when I’m in the city and I have good 5G connectivity, but not out in the country.

    I would imagine that the stingray exploits, like most of the bad things in this world, are probably things you will run into in the crowded big cities.

    I stopped using it in a mobile (Wi-Fi line) environment, so I’m almost ignorant of the actual situation,
    But the recent reality in Japan makes me realize that “the infrastructure of the web is nothing more than a papier-mâché fiction”.

    It is already beyond the scope of what an individual can do.
    What we should be aware of is the reality that “governments and those in power want to control the world through the Web”, and efforts to counter (resist and prevent) such ambitions are necessary.

    Now You: do you plan to keep the Ads privacy features enabled?

    I’d like to tell you, but apparently if you make a post critical of Google, you get censored. * [Editor: removed, just try to bring your opinion across without attacking anyone]

    The comments are seriously messed up on gHacks now. These comments are mixed with the article at the below URL.

    https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/18/android-how-to-disable-2g-cellular-connections-to-improve-security/

    And comments on other articles are from as far back as 2010.

    How about other things that matter:

    Degree of water and dust protection?
