A MOVIE KIND OF LOVE

Never forget a favourite flick (or accidentally rewatch a duff one) again: these film-tracking apps will help you keep on top of your viewing

IMDb

If you enjoy watching movies with dozens of strangers (while sitting among their popcorn shards), IMDb lets you dig into what's on and local showtimes. Beyond that, you can explore upcoming cinematic treats, build a watchlist, and terrify your eyes with an endless stream of movie news clips. The app also attempts to provide streaming info but is rubbish at that, so use something else instead.

A social network where everyone thinks they're Mark Kermode? Terrifying. If you disagree, this app lets you browse films, add them to lists, and grump about them at length by way of reviews. Or you can be a normal human and just use it as a personal film diary and foolproof way to avoid rewatching the Matrix sequels ever again, having suitably rated them all one out of five.
