An iOS app for looking up movies through RottenTomatoes.

Time Spent:

  • Approx. 10 hours

Work Done:

  • All the required parts.
  • Fading in of the higher resolution pic.
  • Search Bar
  • Network Error that comes up if the request fails (20s timeout), and disappears on reload. Also fades in when appearing and disappearing.
  • Modifying the Navbar: Navbar is translucent, so when you scroll the movies, you can see them passing through the navbar.
  • Displaying the Rotten Tomato audience and critics score, and highlighting them when the score > 80 for any of the categories (along with runtime, rating, cast etc. on main screen).
  • LaunchScreen tweaks and AppIcon.
  • Minor UI tweaks (background image in the detail view, rounded corners for the rating label, etc.)

Problems:

  • AppIcon isn't displayed for some reason.
  • Higher res images don't scale to fit in the screen properly.
