User Stories

The following required functionality is complete:

  • User sees an app icon on the home screen and a styled launch screen.
  • User can view a list of movies currently playing in theaters from The Movie Database.
  • Poster images are loaded using the UIImageView category in the AFNetworking library.
  • User sees a loading state while waiting for the movies API.
  • User can pull to refresh the movie list.
  • User sees an error message when there's a networking error.
  • User can tap a tab bar button to view a grid layout of Movie Posters using a CollectionView.

The following optional features are implemented:

  • User can search for a movie.
  • All images fade in as they are loading.
  • User can view the large movie poster by tapping on a cell.
  • For the large poster, load the low resolution image first and then switch to the high resolution image when complete.
  • Customize the selection effect of the cell.
  • Customize the navigation bar.
  • Customize the UI.

The following additional features are implemented:

  • List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality!

Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):

  1. Network delay/error handling.
  2. Having the scroll view on the movie detail page automatically extend with the text.

Notes

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app.

Implementing the singleton pattern challenged me, as well understanding blocks and their syntax.

RecordIt would not record without an internet connection so I couldn't record the network error functionality.
