LA-Tech-Rotten-Tomatoes-Clone

Overview

This project is a cross-platform mobile app (iOS and Android) that allows users to:

• Browse a list of movies and TV shows
• Vote with a thumbs up or thumbs down
• View aggregated voting results

The primary goal of this project is to gain hands-on experience with modern development technologies, including mobile development, backend systems, and collaborative workflows—not to build a production-ready app.
