Time spent: 1/2 hours spent in total
The following required user stories are complete:
- The following screens use AutoLayout to adapt to various orientations and screen sizes
- Movie feed view (+3pt)
- Detail view (+2pt)
The following stretch user stories are implemented:
- Dynamic Height Cells (+1)
- Collection View AutoLayout (+2)
The following additional user stories are implemented:
- List anything else that you can get done to improve the app functionality! (+1-3pts)
Please list two areas of the assignment you'd like to discuss further with your peers during the next class (examples include better ways to implement something, how to extend your app in certain ways, etc):
- Easier more concrete ways of doing layout instead of messing with it and using arbritrary values.
- Ways to target most phone / orientation types while coding. (Like flexbox with react)
Here's a walkthrough of implemented user stories:

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app. While building part two of this app, the hardest part for me was getting the layout of the details page correct.
TODO:// In the User Stories section below, add an x in the -[ ] like this - [x] for any user story you complete. (🚫 Remove this paragraph after after checking off completed user stories)

Describe any challenges encountered while building the app. Because the walkthrough was so thorough, I did not face any real challenges while building the app. The only problem I ran into was I had to change a couple settings in xCode to get the pods working, but that was an easy fix.
