A nice feature of Popcorn Trivia is the ranking system used within the app, depending on how good your knowledge is you can work your way up the ranks from lowly cleaning crew to powerful studio head.

Solyaris
Solyaris bears/bares some resemblance to IMDB, providing users with access to an open movie database and discover new movies and TV shows. You can easily search and discover shows and read reviews and plot summaries. The different with Solyaris, however, is its focus on exploring the connections between films and casts.
Information about casts are displayed in a mind map style format making it easy to see connections between cast members and films. With even just half an hour on Solyaris it is amazing how much you can learn and how quickly the app can become addictive.
