Cinema Trivia 2.3 Released in App Store

I recently had more time to work on my app and the result was more frequent updates. Right after version 2.2 was published, I converted the code base from manual-retain-and-release to Automatic Reference Counting (ARC). I also cleaned up the code a bit in the process because quite a few lines became unnecessary like synthesizing properties. New compiler was taking care of such tasks for developers. After converting to ARC, I explored a few LLVM optimization techniques. This release adopted Link Time Optimization (LTO). Other techniques will be evaluated in future releases.

I then turned my attention to the front-end and recognized that it could use a few enhancements to improve user experience. My primary objective here had always been keep everything simple and clean. I also made minor updates to the app database.
