Patch Launches Free iPhone App

The mobile Patch app is finally here, which means you can now access Northbrook Patch anywhere. Available beginning April 14 in Apple’s App Store, Patch's iPhone app features a variety of ways for you to stay connected and stay up to date about what’s going on in your community.

For starters, the Patch app will consist of all the things you see on the website, including community news, weather, local business listings and events around town. Features include the Front 5, which lets you access top stories of the day, and Favorites, which stores content for offline reading later. From the village’s most recent hot-topic vote to the best place to grab a great meal, Patch’s app has you covered.

Share your thoughts by commenting on stories, uploading photos, rating business listings or posting announcements. You can easily share your favorite stories and/or business listings with your friends on Facebook or by e-mail.

Look for the app today, download it, and let us know what you think. And for our Android users, developers said an app is coming soon. Stay tuned!
