During this project we worked on creating and selling a mobile application and implementing it using Titanium - Appcelerator software.
The mobile application is:
MoviePedia, which is the best directory of movies you will ever use. It is very convenient for tracking new movies and their reviews. You can look for the best movies to watch in your favorite categories, watch HD trailers and photos, enjoy listening to the soundtracks of the movie, easily create your watch list, and much more.
