About Metacritic Searcher

Metacritic Search allows for searching the entertainment review site Metacritic.com.

** Searching may be slow **
This is because it needs to make a query against www.metacritic.com and then parse the search result. The search results are retrieved quicker on a faster network (4G LTE is great!). The XML parser speed is improved by a faster processor.

** If app crashes please report it so I can address it. **

Searches can also be initialized by typing in keywords.
Results are returned in an easy to read list with the Metascore, platform and release date showing. Clicking on a result will display even more detail, including the User score, summary, icon and the number of reviews.
Clicking on the product name will open up the review page on Metacritic's site.
Clicking on the User Reviews or Critic Reviews will transfer the user to the reviews section on Metacritic's site.

Metacritic Searcher utilized a third party barcode scanner. It was tested with Barcode Scanner but should also work with Google Goggles.

Works great

This app has got a lot of potential and would be awesome if everytime I try searching for something it wouldn't force close. When I get a chance to search, I will give it at least 4 stars (5 if I don't find other issues)

U70%
by U####:

Tried multiple searches for well-known films; only shows results for various articles which, when tapped, doesn't even display the article's content. Great idea; horrible implementation.

I think the app reviews are a little harsh, it does what is supposed to, buy has some stability issues.

G70%
by G####:

I love the metacritic site. unfortunately this app is nigh unusable, crashing on every other search that I conduct. I'm keeping it until it works though because it has a lot of potential.

"Error parsing the results", "unable to get results", long story short I couldn't get anything out of this.

A70%

Results are instant on my phone. However, the odd time the metascore doesnt show. You can click on the result to take you to the actual site. Super quick install.

B70%
by B####:

This app works perfectly fine, I haven't had a single issue with searching for something I was looking for, it's bland looking, but does a good enough job for finding what you need when you're curious.

Y70%
by Y####:

This app has all sorts of issues. It does not give you any items to choose from. If you don't know EXACTLY what you are looking for, then it is pretty much useless. Even when you do know your item, it doesn't always give you an actual METACRITIC SCORE?! Instead, it will give you a link to the website (which I could have just gone to in the first place). Also, if you just type in an artist, it will take you to multiple products with only score information. There's no way to tell each album apart!

Y70%
by Y####:

Needs to be richer, would be nice to see the reviews not just the scores.

M70%
by M####:

Ran it three times, crashed three times, before I could see any results.

A simple tool. Does what it's meant to do.
