There was one feature on Showtimes.my that many didn’t notice or understood. We had this arrow on the top right corner of each movie. Clicking on it will move the movie to the top of the page. The idea is to ’sticky’ the movie so you can compare between movies you are interested in easily. We felt the feature was useful but wasn’t implemented correctly, so we did some changes.

1. The arrows are now pins. This gives user a cue on what exactly it does.
2. Pinned movies have a different color pin. A visual cue that the movie is pinned.
3. Notifications when you click on the pin. Since the movie is moved to the top, a notification is shown to let user know what happened.
4. Ability to unpin a movie.
5. Remember the order of movies pinned between page reloads. This was especially important when you are changing dates or cities.

Pinning a movie

We hope you like this ‘revamped’ pinning feature and do give us some feedback in the comments.
