Company-linked App

Hi all. There is so many interesting movies screening in the cinema right now huh? I wish to have the time to go and watch all movies. Oh my god, all of them are like so attractive!!


Unfortunately, today I'm not here to talk about movies. I'm here to talk about the Golden Screen Cinema (GSC) cinema app in the mobile devices which I think it is pretty convenient. 
The icon on the center of the third role is the GSC Cinema mobile app. I had been using this app for quite some time and I'm quite liking the experience. 

GSC Cinema mobile app is own by Golden Screen Cinema Sdn Bhd. It is an application that brings convenient to users of GSC Cinema app especially when purchasing movie tickets. Users do not need to spend time queuing up to get their ticket, instead they can purchase their movie tickets through the GSC Cinema app. 

Not to forget, users can check showtimes of any screening movie too! After checking screening date and time of a movie, users will be lead to a page where it allows users to choose their preferable seat in the cinema hall. 
Users can easily check on the availability of seats through the app and secure their preferable seats in the cinema hall. 

After users had chosen their seats, users will be turn to the payment page. GSC app provide E-payment service which enable users to purchase their movie tickets using credit cards. There are a few method that you could choose to pay: Maybank M2U Mobile, PayPal, RHB Bank RHB Now, E-Voucher or Credit Card. 


The GSC app is frequently update and synchronize with the main website. Therefore, the users of the app can also enjoy the on-going promotion of the website too. 
It is obvious that the Golden Screen Cinema had put in a lot of effort to make this app as good as possible. I really do think that it is a good app to use for entertainment purposes. The user-friendly interface made it so easy for anyone to use this app. Even though it had a simple and clean interfae but it comes with so many functions for example e-transaction, checking movie showtimes, let the users well-informed on the on-going promotions and etc.

I'm definitely recommending this app to people who love movies just like I do. Opps, did I mentioned that I had been using this app for a few years already? Haha. Come on movie lovers, download the GSC app into your mobile device and start enjoying the conveniency that it will brings you. 
The GSC app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Come and get your GSC app now !! =D
