👍 nice work. The point of this homework was to explore a simple example of a full MVC application with a RESTful API.

Great job with doing so many optional tasks, and the black theme looks great. One small point of feedback is that on the movie details page, a long movie synopsis will not "fit". One way to fix this is to make the description a UIScrollView so you can just scroll inside the container. But great job there on showing the rating and stars, and good use of color to make things stand out.

In general, you should challenge yourself to create visually polished applications. That's where you'll find all the rough edges of the iOS framework and earn the next level of mastery.

One of the most important part of these projects is that you add additional features and tweak the UI / UX because that will provide many more learning opportunities. I would encourage you to complete the projects each week with required stories early and then spend time adding your own UI elements and experimenting with optional extensions that will improve the user experience.

We have provided a detailed Project 1 Feedback Guide here which covers the most common points we see for this project. Read through the feedback guide point-by-point to determine other ways you could improve your submission. You should consider going back and implementing applicable feedback as well. Keep in mind that one of the most important parts of iOS development is learning the correct patterns and conventions.
