Los Angeles, CA – Fandango’s application for movie showtimes, ticketing and information on the Apple iPhone and iPod touch has been downloaded more than 1.3 million times since its launch on March 13, 2009.
With Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen opening tonight at midnight and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince opening July 15, Fandango’s popular application with mobile moviegoers is sure to continue its amazing growth.
The Fandango iPhone app rocketed to #1 among free entertainment applications in Apple’s App Store. The app has consistently been in the Top 25 in that category since its launch, and has ranked as high as #8 among all free iPhone and iPod touch applications overall.
Due to popular demand, a new and improved version is now available for the iPhone and iPod touch, offering Fandango users greater convenience via the ability to access their online accounts from the app.
