How does this work?
Clicking the “Test drive now” button launches a copy of this app on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), a web service that provides on-demand compute capacity in the cloud for developers. When you interact with the simulated phone using your mouse and keyboard, we send those inputs over the Internet to the app running on Amazon EC2 — just like your mobile device would send a finger tap to the app. Our servers then send the video and audio output from the app back to your computer. All this happens in real time, allowing you to explore the features of the app as if it were running on your mobile device.
Test Drive TroubleshootingFollow the steps below to Test Drive this app in Chrome. These steps will disable the version of Flash included with Chrome and run Test Drive in a separate version of Flash.

This is a good app. It doesn't do anything that IMDB on your laptop or desktop doesn't do identically. However, if you want to experience a genius use of IMDB, install the Google Chrome Browser onto your laptop or desktop. Then add the free IMDB extension for that browser. Next time you are reading about a tv show or movie, highlight it with your cursor. All of a sudden, the extension lights up on your toolbar with a red number. That number is the rating for the movie or tv show. If you want to read more, click on that red number and a new tab will open and you are there on the very page and can read the synopsis, reviews, cast list, etc., I use it every single day.

When I bought my KF it came preloaded with the IMDb app. I was excited and was anxious to use it. It didn't take long to completely hate it. In any case, Amazon now says it's not compatible, so my assumption is that the app was upgraded and doesn't work well on KF now. In truth, I wouldn't know because of the reason I stated before; I don't like it, so I don't use it anymore and let me tell you why.
* It only displays the abbreviated version of IMDb and is difficult to navigate. I love the Trivia items and it is a pain in the neck to find the link on any given page.
* Unlike using the web browser, you cannot search the page for text. When you are perusing a prolific star's list of films or TV, it is very tedious looking for one lone title. Page text search is an absolute must have.
* Also it doesn't offer tabbed viewing. I like opening up various pages in separate tabs, so I don't have to constantly hit the back and forward buttons.
Really, those are my only complaints but those are all the complaints I need to make me decide to never use it again.
There is one more point I wish to make and this is in their favor. One reviewer complained saying that you still have to be connected to the net in order to use it and so found it useless. Yes, you do have to be connected but can you imagine the size of download that would contain all of that information? We're talking hundreds of thousands of pages! If you've ever tried using iBird Pro 2 you'll know right away what I'm talking about. iBird Pro 2 has less than 1,000 entries and is an enormous, time consuming, pain in the butt, download....

The IMDb app doesn't really add anything that you couldn't get from the IMDb mobile website already, and since there is no offline mode there really isn't any point. This is just another app front end to a web site.

I find myself using this all the time. It's straightforward, and its free. Couldn't ask for more. I'll say it's fast, and i've enjoyed using it. Can't imagine this app not being on someones phone.

I've always had mixed opinions about this service provider, but on my Kindle Fire it's a forced feature I can't remove. Whether it's a premium service or not, I very much resent this kind of heavy-handed marketing. Enough said.

Looking for an actor, they are there.
Looking for a movie, you will find it.
But better than that they give you additional information. With actors, they list their movies/TV roles, a short bio, trivia, message boards and more. With a movie it lists the cast, storyline, box office, quotes, etc.
It is everything you need to know and more.
I am a movie buff and this is a very handy app!
