Here's my problem with it: It doesn't necessarily find the theater you want. If I put in my ZIP code, I'll get different results than if I tell it to use my location (when I'm currently in that ZIP code). It should give me all the theaters within a defined radius.

It's probably recommending the Regal theaters first. Since they have a number of banners (including Loew's, I think), it might not look like all the theaters are the same chain.

That could be. I'd be OK with that, since it's their business arrangement, but they could at least return more results. The theater I was trying to find is a Carmike, which they apparently do offer tickets for. The one that came up doesn't have online tickets available.
I just loaded up the app, and here's why the zip or location option doesn't work: I live in a small town and the nearest theater is pretty crappy. It's fine for some things, but they're not going to have anything in 3D. I need to drive 20 miles or so to get to a better theater. Using my location doesn't return the theater I want to go to. And what are the chances of knowing the ZIP code of a theater that's 20 miles away? Not very good. If you could specify a location, that would probably solve the problem,

Doesn't it work better if you set up your favourite cinema locations in your account on the Fandango web site?
