Mobile app users of Flixster have propelled the famed social networking site to new highs. Latest news is that Flixster has crossed over 8 million users across their mobile app lineup. As you know, the Flixster mobile app is currently a permanent feature on any smartphone, be it iPhone, BlackBerry, Android or the Palm webOS. Significantly, the app has been regularly visiting top slots on these smartphone platforms.

As per statistics made public, among the 8 million extremely loyal Flixster mobile app users, a cool 75 per cent have logged on during the past three-month period. Flixster boasts of numbers that endorse its popularity, which shows that the mobile app users find time to rate one movie every 5 seconds. Besides, close to 140 trailers are viewed every minute of the day.

With popularity climbing, Flixster has said it is now ready with a new 2.0 version of its Android application, says Mobile Crunch. One commendable aspect about the version 2.0 is that it supports Facebook Connect, the Flixster news feed, and mobile access to your favorite movie list.

Making its presence more felt, Flixster is also knocking at Blackberry doors with a new version of its already existing beta version of its Blackberry app. The new version has the capability to support access to Flixster’s entire movie database. To run in native code, this new version of the app will also offer online ticket options. Flixster expects that BlackBerry maker RIM will soon give the go ahead in this regard, and when that happens, you can pick it at BlAppWorld.
