London Film Festival 2010 app review

This year’s London Film Festival is set to showcase its usual mix of big movies and cult hits, but now it has a spin-off iPhone app to drum up publicity for the event.

It includes a searchable program of events and screenings, as well as a customisable festival planner and features to share details of showings with friends on Facebook and Twitter.

It makes good use of Google Maps to pinpoint venues and promises videos from the red carpets once the festival gets underway. But we’re most impressed with the inclusion of actual film trailers, giving you something to watch while making your mind up about which flicks to go to.

Plane Finder AR app review

Some apps are pure novelties, but using technology that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. Plane Finder AR is just such an app. In a nutshell, it lets you point your iPhone camera at planes flying in the sky, to find out where they’re going.
