Trying to install Flixster on Surface. while I can find it from IE on my laptop (see Flixster app for Windows in the Windows Store)

When ever I try the search on the Surface it cannot find it.

Any ideas how I can get this on my Surface RT

Thanks

I installed it yesterday, i never saw it in the store. I accidently ran into it under "my apps"

Apparently, i installed it previously somehow, not sure how, but when i was in the store, i slid my finger down from the top and pulled down the bar with "my apps" and showed all the apps i had downloaded before that were not installed (i had windows 8 preview on pc), flixster was on there and installed from there.

perhaps when you are searching, make sure you have the apps selected when you are searching.

I believe it is not ready for Rt (arm) yet. Only on x86 in your laptop

I can't find it either I assumed that it wasn't available in the UK. Can't find it on my desktop either.

Go to entertainment section in Windows Store and slide over to around the 15th column. It is available for RT but has not made it into the search list yet probably because it has only been out for a few days and they have been push a lot of apps out.

Not sure why you guys are having trouble, but I found it right away using the search function. Installed without a hitch.

I'm struggling to find this on my PC & Surface :(.

[shn'g]

Yeah I can't find it either

[Dewg]

You guys need to go to Preferences in the store. Turn off both options. Then try searching.

Tried that Dewg thanks but still nothing unfortunatly :( lol.

Okay, I found it yesterday, but this morning it's gone. They pulled?

The link above takes me to the windows app store as expected, but when I click on the 'view in app store' button, it takes me to the app store, but only to the front screen.

I really miss flixster and imdb on my surface. Guess it's a good thing I have a windows phone.

I wouldn't get worked up over not being able to see the flixster app in the store, as it leaves a lot to be desired. For one, you cannot watch your UltraViolet movies in it(like you can with the iOS version)..
However, Flixster is on IE10's Flash site "White list" meaning you can actually watch your UltraViolet movies using the Flixster website(and the Vudu website too)..

Using the Flixster and Vudu websites is really quite easy with touch, and I was able to stream a full movie to my VivoTab RT...

There is an update to the app... added theater locations and show times.

[inteller]

still needs to add the watch now search for streaming services. very lacking app.

[Vallos]

Indeed. They should have waited until it was on par to it's phone app counterpart.

According to XDA Flixster is available in the US Store only and if you are in the UK then you need to change your region.

Anybody who doesn't know how to do this it's as follows.

1. Swype in from the right or if you are using a mouse then move mouse into the top right hand corner.
2. Click on Search,
3. In the search box type region.
4. Move into settings and click the region icon that will appear on the left.
5. It will take you back to the desktop and a new window will open with the tabs, formats, location and administrative.
6. Click on location.
7. Change Home Location to USA.
8. Go to Windows Store and search for Flixster (it does work in the UK) and install

Sorry if this is a bit noddy...
