IMDb for Android gets a new look in honor of Comic-Con.


With the Comic-Con only a few weeks away, IMDb for Android has been updated to look more à la page in honor of the popular event and added a new section dedicated to it. As a FYI, the Comic-Con is set to to begin on July 21 to July 24 in San Diego

While IMDb is celebrating the Comic-Con with its dedicated special section, not all new features related to the event are actually live in the app. Most of them, if not all, will become available mid-July, which is about a week away. Then, users will have access to the following:

  • IMDb trending visualizes currently popular titles and stars.
  • Fan IQ lets you test your knowledge and challenge your friends.
  • Follow breaking Comic-Con news in our special Comic-Con section.
The update also includes the usual bug fixes and framework enhancements and is available in Google Play store for download.

IMDB for Android joins the dark side with a dark theme.


"Welcome to the dark side" is how IMDB introduces the new dark theme feature for its app for android, a feature they have obliged to after receiving requests from users. This update comes after the app received the Material design a few weeks ago and if you're wondering what's the use of a black theme besides probably helping saving some battery life, it also lets you use your phone while your partner is sleeping by your side without you causing him/her to jump to the dark side of the force and attack your device as the light them interferes with his/her sleep. Sorry about that, it's May the Fourth, so I had to come up with something.

Other than the black theme, the app received some UI bugs fixes "around color, spacing, and icons". Some changes have been mad under the hood to get the app ready for future enhancements.

Download the update in Google Play store.

IMDB for Android gets Material design aligment and bug fixes in latest update.

Boasting the biggest info database about movies, TV shows and celebrities, IMDB issued an update today for its Android app. No new features were added, but IMDB instead aligned itself more with Android’s material design with the addition of a bell icon in its notifications. Other than that, the app “sanded some rough edges” in their application of the material design. Some bugs were also squashed along the way, notably in the image galleries and another bug that caused videos to keep on playing after closing them.

These fixes should make the IMDB experience more pleasurably and let you enjoy trailers and gossips about your favorite celebrities. Head over to Google Play store to download the app or to update it.
