ReelTime: Movie Ticket Booking App

Overview

ReelTime is a complete movie ticket booking experience built for Android that handles everything from seat selection to venue entry using QR codes.

Problem

Double bookings and friction at the theater entrance are common pain points in legacy ticketing systems.

Solution

A real-time synchronized app that locks seats instantly to prevent conflicts and generates scannable QR codes for seamless entry.

Features & Architecture

• Real-Time Sync: Seat selection syncs over Firebase Realtime Database. If two users pick the same seat, the conflict is caught immediately, not at checkout.
• QR Ticketing: Bookings generate a QR ticket instantly via ZXing. There is no physical ticket, eliminating friction at venue entry.
• Modern UI: Designed with Material Design principles for a native, smooth Android experience.
