Flix has been designed to be simple to use.

Features include:
- Yahoo based.
- Search based on Postcode or town.
- GPS "Where am I" lookup.
- Google Maps link from Cinema Info screen.
- Call cinema direct from the app.
- Movies list cast info, Synopsis, runtime, and (optionally) a poster if Yahoo has one.
- Download multiple locations.
- Ignore cinemas you don't visit.
- Schedule updates with commandline switch.
- In built SMS.

Instructions:
- The first time you run Flix, you will be taken to the config screen.
- Enter either your postcode or town in the location box.
- Where Am I will use GPS to find your postcode.
- Tick posters if you want posters to be downloaded with movie info.
- Tap the Update icon to go online and get listings/movie info.
- Movies will list all movies in the database.
- Cinemas will show all movie theaters in the database.
    o On either Cinemas or Movies page, clicking the "clock" icon will go to showtimes.
    o On Cinemas page, the Phone icon will call the cinema.
    o The Map icon will load Google Maps to the Cinema location.

Things to note:
- You need MS .NET Compact Framework 3.5 for Flix.
- Yahoo Movies (which Flix gets data from) can be a bit flaky. I might change provider later, but for now you might find that postcodes don't return any results, and towns provide odd results (if you see Leicester, York, Norwich and Annan, it seems to be a catch-all for Yahoo not having your town, so try another!) If you have trouble, check on the yahoo site here to see what results you get... it should match Flix!

I'd recommend an unlimited data plan or WiFi for the updates. Updates may take some time if you only have GPRS (several minutes).
