The app was updated just over two years ago when some bug fixes were made and it became possible to share news stories on Twitter. Since then there have been no updates yet the app still enjoys 4.5 out of five stars from users. While customer comments are mainly positive what some don't like is the fact you actually need to have a Twitter account in order to use this app. As well you’ll need an Internet connection to download and then read the content.

Features and Tools
To ensure that all the most important and interesting stories are provided, the Film Today app uses its own algorithm to search through its various sources. It finds only the most interesting stories and then is able to filter the results with the most interesting stories showing up at the top of the list. The information is constantly updated so that it is delivered in real-time. Stories can be shared through Facebook and Twitter.

The user interface comes off a bit dull and even cluttered at times, so this is an area the app could most definitely do with some improvements and changes. It would also be great to see additional tools added such as ones that customize the reading experience.
