Metacritic To Go

Metacritic Film content is available on your handheld device via AvantGo or Vindigo!

 
Vindigo
Get Metacritic on Vindigo 2.0

Wish you could take Metacritic's movie reviews and METASCORES with you when you're on the go? Now you can, with a mobile handheld device and Vindigo 2.0, software that's updated with our reviews whenever you sync!

Vindigo turns your PDA or Internet-enabled cell phone into a powerful personal navigator, providing a bird's eye view of the city that surrounds you.

What You'll Get:

  • Metacritic movie reviews
  • Ability to search by distance, name, rating, and cost
  • Live arts and music listings with daily updates
  • Restaurants, stores, bars, banks, and local services
  • Movie show times and film reviews
  • Full-color maps (if your device supports them) with pan and zoom
  • Point-to-point directions and mass transit info for select cities
  • Personalization features such as notes and bookmarks
  • New content and features added throughout the year

What To Do:

(1) Download the Vindigo 2.0 software here. Vindigo 2.0 is available for Palm Powered™ handhelds and Pocket PC computers for an annual subscription of $24.95. Try it out for the first month FREE!

(2) Add Metacritic content: Log in to your account at vindigo.com and edit one of your cities (or, if this is your first time using the software, add the city of your choice). In the Movies section, be sure to check the circle next to "Show times and national reviews from Metacritic." The next time you sync, you'll have our reviews and scores on your device!

(3) Remember to sync your handheld at least once a week to get all the latest movie listings, scores and reviews! (We recommend Friday afternoons, to be sure you get the new movies for the weekend.)

That's it. If you need help, try Vindigo's help section.
