Patch Launches Free Android App

Patch recently unveiled a new Patch Android app called Patch Places, which allows users to navigate every place in every Patch town – including Lindenhurst – in the country. It can be accessed here for free in the Android market.

Don't forget that Patch also has a complete app with the latest articles, Places and more available for free download at Apple's App Store or by simply clicking here.

For the Android app users can select any Patch community and tap into a mobile directory of every place in town with Patch Places for Android.

And when Patch says every place in town, it means it – from local businesses and organizations to government offices and public parks. With hundreds of comprehensive listings in the palm of users’ hands, they can find what they need anytime, anywhere.

Search and browse nearby shops, restaurants, nightlife spots, salons – anything they can imagine. Once a specific location is found Patch Places maps it. In addition, users can browse pictures, rate and review, or share a place page via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. Users can even call a place straight from its page for more information about their goods or services.

To summarize Patch Places pages let users easily:

• Search alphabetically or by category.
• Find a place via an interactive map.
• Call a place for more information.
• Browse place photos or upload their own.
• Rate and review places.
• Share a Places page via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter.
• View the Place’s own website.
• Save a Places page in favorites for offline viewing.
