KinoPoisk is an official application from the same-name website which is the largest Russian-language portal dedicated to the cinema industry and new films distribution. Summer's over, and people have less and less desire to spend time outdoors. At least, if we talk about free time that you want to spend for your own pleasure.
No, you can, of course, come up with a holy load of activities. For example, to go to a club or an entertainment center. But sometimes you really want to get away from it all, and if we are not talking about active rest, the best option is a trip to a cinema to watch another new movie. For such cases, the application may come in handy, and believe us, no analogue or information site can meet the challenge better than this application.
Search through the application
Now you don't need to look at the sites of the closest theaters to find out what and when they are going to show. Just start the application, confirm the city where you are (or choose any from a huge list), the date of screening, and the genre. Additionally, you can choose sorting by halls, rating, date of the premiere, or the film title. After that, the program will provide you with a list of films with information on their duration and rating.Making a tap on the movie you are interested in, you are redirected to the next menu where you can select movie theaters by name or the nearest distance from your location. There will also be noted a time of screening in each of the theaters and their exact address. Having made a choice about a particular theater, you are redirected back to the page with a map on which there will be marked its location and contact information. At that, with swipes in the same menu, you can look through the list of all movies being screened that day and, respectively, the time of screening.
Additional features
