Captionfish iPhone application now available for download!

After numerous requests, we are happy to announce that the Captionfish iPhone app is now available for FREE download from iTunes! Visit our iPhone page for more details about the app and download link. You can also view the press release.

Working on this app has been a wild ride for us full of learned experiences and we hope you enjoy the hard work we’ve put into it. The biggest accomplishment we feel this app achieves is the ability to show captioned trailers. It is NOT being done anywhere else and this feature was so important to us to bring to everyone so we can enjoy the same trailers on equal footing with our hearing counterparts.

This is not the end of the road for the iPhone app. We wanted to get it off to a good start by crafting a solid experience around the core service of presenting the data. Coming up would be new features and enhancements focused on context/relevance (maps for example), personalization (favoriting), and sharing (social media), in that order. Along the way in between these milestones would be minor maintenance and bug fix releases. If you have suggestions or feedback, please let us know.

We do plan to support other platforms through Captionfish’s MovieShare™ platform but a timeline has not been determined yet.

Thank you for your support and enjoy the iPhone app!

Where is Eat Pray Love playing?

Hello everyone!

Thank you for all your emails asking if Eat Play Love will come to your area. Eat Pray Love has generated a lot of interest and looks like a great movie!

Captionfish makes all its information available to you, and that includes all the information we know about Eat Pray Love. Here's what we recommend you do:

1) Check Eat Pray Love's nationwide schedule. Every theater that Captionfish knows about that's playing Eat Pray Love is listed here. No information is withheld.

Captionfish updates its database frequently. You could keep checking back to see if it's updated whenever you like...

- OR -

2) Sign up for an email notification which is on the right side of Eat Pray Love's movie details page. If Eat Pray Love is not playing in your area yet, chances are it may come to your area soon. Many theaters decide on movies within a 7-day window because of how they evaluate a movie's box office performance over a weekend, so as the next several days go by, there should be some updates to the schedule page.

Please be sure to check your Inbox or Spam folder for an email from Captionfish to confirm your email notification request.

Thank you so much for using Captionfish! We wouldn't be here today without your support. If you have feedback, please let us know.

Enjoy the movie!

Rocky
August 20, 2010

Sylvester Stallone, Talia Shire, Burgess Meredith, Carl Weathers, Burt Young; MGM/UA; Directed by John G. Avildsen - Rated PG; 119 minutes; 1976

In 1976, when ROCKY, a low-budget film with an unknown actor named Sylvester Stallone, won the Academy Award® for Best Picture, it was as emotional a finale as the film itself. A two-bit boxer gets a second chance in life by being offered an impossible shot at the heavyweight title. The story of how Rocky goes the distance is one of the warmest, most exciting and stirring movies of all time.

Inception update - Please check with theater first

We just wanted to emphasize and make sure you knows it's very important to double-check with the theater first before trying to see it.

We are getting reports that theater showtimes are still being reported as inaccurate in some locations.

We have been told by our contacts that the captioning discs definitely have been mailed out to most theater locations and they should have it by now.

Some locations now have it and already have it set up, others may have received it but haven't put it into their work flow yet. Others are still waiting. Checking with the theater makes sure time isn't wasted and frustration is avoided.

Thank you for using Captionfish! We apologize for the inconvenience.
