When the iPad was first announced, it quickly became clear to most people that this device was going to be more about consumption than it was about creation. Sure people have done some amazing things with apps like Brushes and of course the entire iWork suite is available, but everything feels very scaled down. It just wasn’t there to be a creation device, but it was the perfect platform to consumer content. Comics, news, social, and especially TV and Movies.
The device was perfect for consuming media. No one ever loved watching movies on their iPhones, they simply tolerated it. Now we have a device and a big beautiful screen to play with and media never felt better. The one problem we have though is that content is lacking. Even if you subscribe to Netflix, the library is finite. The Apple Store is a little overpriced for most to purchase from, so we found a hole in the app marketplace and tried to fill it.
And so, we are proud to present Movie Vault for iPad. Its all about FREE movie content for you, no strings attached.
All about Movie Vault
Movie Vault is an all new iPad app with the single purpose to provide access to a catalog of over 1200 movies and television shows from the last 100 years. We have fully catalogued these movies including fully-searchable information on directors, actors, writers, and more. We also hunted down the cover art for a truly awesome experience.
Using it is simple, when you first download the movie listing is downloaded from our server. In doing this, we can provide up-to-date movie listings without the need to update our application constantly which means less work for you. You can then swipe left or right between Genres, select from the Genre menu in the top left or search by keyword which is included in the Genre menu. When you find a movie just tap it once to get more info and then tap “Watch Movie” to start it up. Give it a couple seconds to let it start and site back and enjoy. Its that simple.
The best part is, everything is streamed so you can enjoy it over Wifi OR over 3G. With Apple’s streaming technology you get a great experience and our servers take care of the heavy lifting.
What are some of our favorites movies?
I have always been a Horror guy and especially love films like George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead. There are also great Sci-Fi film and if you really aren’t sure then do a search on Lugosi, Price, or Karloff.
If you are feeling a little more upbeat try some great Comedies or maybe even a Musical or too. And do not miss out on some of the great Crime, Mystery, or War films. There are a ton to choose from. I would say most of all to not let the age fool you, some of the movies in here are unbelievable and are you really going to argue with directors like Alfred Hitchcock, among others.
We really hope you enjoy it. Building this library and prepping this data for streaming has been a true labor of live. We look forward to hearing feedback and can’t wait for the next version. Get it now for $4.99!!
