Movie app: www.nowshowing.com.ng

Hello,

Here is an easy to use app for the moviegoers.

The app tells what is currently showing, what will be showing next and what is showing for the whole of that day.

It saves users the hassle of going to multiple cinema site. And keeps the time.

See it for yourself www.nowshowing.com.ng

Cheers

I was thinking about building a mobile app for this just last week.

Good to see someone is finally working on it.
Your site could use some design though and more grease to your elbow!

Very Interesting…

@femiji how do you make money off this?

Selling ticket maybe.

We are just keen on helping the moviegoer save time for now.

Sounds like a good strategy, but how do you guys plan to compete with much more established Tripican on both showtimes and ticket selling fronts?

We don’t see competition.

Our focus is the customer. We want to be really delightful and useful to the customer.

Interesting approach!

So, how long have you guys being around + do you mind sharing some stats related to visits etc?

Can’t say much about stats. We are just beginning to push this into the market. But we do have high retention rate.

Ok. You may want to connect with @logbon72 for collaboration oppty btw nowshowing and Tripican

Will be nice to see what’s possible working with @logbon72.

I worked on this in 2013. Cinema and event discovery and ticketing. Hmm. But times have changed so I wish you the best, man.

You should take use the app when next you wan to go see a movie.

Really? You don’t see the competition? Where did you learn this from? On the other hand, you should see and acknowledge your competitors. You should study their strong points and weak points. Then you do your best to differentiate from them either to offering a better service or product than theirs by a scale of at least 5-10 times or by doing something they aren’t doing yet and doing so perfectly well.

This statement is too shallow. So why should I download your app? What makes you different? How do you intend to be a delight to me?

In addition to the existing players in the market, some persons pitched similar ideas during the Techcircle x Radar Startup Competition.

I wish you all the best with your execution. Cheers!

Your point has been noted.

Thanks for the response.

Maybe you try using the app.

You don’t need to download it.

Thanks.

We will work on the design as you have suggested.

Thanks @MrBoy

I’ve seen the app. Quick minimalist indeed. Just movie information for now, a service other brands such as Tripican.com, Genesisdeluxecinemas.com, or filmhouseng.com are offering already.

You mentioned selling tickets later, so this means you next value proposition would be the same as what those other brands have been doing for years already.

The question now is: do you just want to be another platform for movie tickets or do you plan to differentiate from others? This is for your personal reflection.

would be nice to be able to search and filter content by genre , show time and location
