Live Movie Poster display for Home Theaters. Turn any TV into a stunning cinema marquee with animated Live Posters, trailers, and automatic artwork from your media player. Integrates directly with popular media players for a fully automated experience. Ideal for a Mac connected to a wall-mounted Samsung Frame TV, an Apple TV, or a wall-mounted iPad.

Need Subscription, but great way to display movies posters.

Those who ever used the movie app program would definitely appreciate the now showing app. You can either use it as a strictly movie poster app, as the app download movies with ratings information and cycle through them. You can also add custom posters as well, and get them right on the app. Also, if you also use roomie remote, the app can also display what movie is currently playing on an compatible device, like an Apple TV. The movie’s poster loads automatically and it can show the current run time too. I use an iPad Pro, but you can use a TV as well. But this isn’t free. It cost $6.99 a week, $39.99 a year, or $100 one time cost. Also if you want to use the roomie remote integration, you also need to get a subscription for that app as well. Roomie Remote is $4.99 a month, but you can also pay annual as well. While the subscription may be a deal breaker for some, but if you want to add a cool integration to your movie watching space. This is a really good one.
Nothing like it

If you have a dedicated home theater this is an amazing addition, I have a portrait mounted 55” TV in the hallway right outside the home theater and this will display what is currently playing inside the room and when your not watching content it will display upcoming movies, very nostalgic, reminds me of the days of going to the movies and it feeds that itch for movies in the future, it’s a must have if you have a dedicated room
Love it!

STUPID APP

I thought this app was going to be good but I miss you have a subscription and it won’t let you do anything if you don’t have a subscription so don’t get this app. It’s so stupid.
