Incredible frustration is occurring with the Fandango app on my iPhone.

I have a very specific order for my favorite theaters.  The two Edwards theaters come first, then the AMC theater, then the two art house theaters, and then the two theaters farther away from my house that some of my friends attend.

You can add or remove a theater from your favorites by gently rubbing a finger across a lovely heart-shaped button in the top right corner.  This button, however, is incredibly sensitive, and it often erases theaters from my favorites without my knowledge.  To correct the situation, I have to delete my favorites entirely and rebuild the list again in the correct order.  This has happened almost 10 times now, but I will never erase the app.  It’s the best movie ticket app out there, even though I will never use Fandango to buy them.

I’m not the kind to hold a grudge against a person. A website, that’s a different story.

I have not used Fandango to purchase advanced tickets since 2002. I pre-ordered tickets to “Star Wars: Episode II,” and there was some sort of a mix-up with the system that caused me to miss the first 15 minutes of the movie. If you ever read the factoids, then you will know that picking up on a movie already in progress is something I really despise.  Even though I’m sure that the technology is updated and millions of people use it without problems, I still haven’t forgiven Fandango.
