US only by the looks of it...

Frazzle · Oct 12, 2011

And Aperture also got an update...

It will only install if you're running 10.7.2...

Ninja Dom · Oct 12, 2011

Not available in the UK yet.

And I was browsing the Apple trailers site earlier today.

No reason why it should be US-Only. I'd say give it time to propagate. Or, they're intentionally delaying international roll-out, like with the Apple Store App.

This app works with iOS 4.3 or greater, which means Verizon CDMA users will have to upgrade to iOS 5 to use it, not that that's a big deal.

illegalprelude · Oct 12, 2011

thats pretty cool. Especially for the iPad

Nice little surprise

This is a nice little surprise on the iOS 5 and iCloud release day.
The app itself is slick and it's nice to be able to watch trailers so easily on the phone, but selecting Movies under Theaters crashes the app for me.

Killed

So basically, Apple just killed most movie preview apps

Duel · Oct 12, 2011

NICE surprise!

I'v been waiting this a long time, i'v been thinking why they haven't made this a long time ago, because apple has great trailer page which i use alot with my computer also i have shortcut for that site in my iPhone

bushido · Oct 12, 2011

Sweeeet, this will help me through some bored lectures with my ipad

milo · Oct 12, 2011

Weird that they didn't have this all along. On the mac iTunes there was always a trailer section but not on the iOS devices. Even appleTV had a trailer section. Glad they finally added it, looks pretty slick.

This app is pretty cool, and I'll probably give it some use over flixster (when it comes to trailers and such). What I'm really looking forward to (and praying for) is this means that they will soon integrate Siri into this movies app and I can then find movie times, theaters, buy tickets, etc. all with my voice. =D

Subtitles? Closed Captions?

I haven't upgraded to iOS 5 yet. Does anyone know if the new Trailers app has closed captions or subtitles for those with hearing loss?

Or Canada.

Jelite · Oct 13, 2011

Or UK.

Since it's a free app, is there no way of signing into the US store and simply downloading it? I know our accounts in the UK cannot download US store material, but how easy is it to set up a free US account for example? And is it worth the hassle?

No, only the video application (on a first gen' iPad) has a closed captioning toggle in Settings.

I added a screen shot of the settings available for the Trailers app.

The reason is because they have obviously not organised content partnerships with theatres in other countries yet. Everyone's a conspiracy theorist

yes you can do that..i made a us account but i live in canada and you can download any app thats in the us store but sometimes they dont open or function properly.

the trailers app worked at first but not anymore...i got the jimmy fallon app from the us store and that worked beautifully ..u just need to make an account with a legit us address and optional credit card
