New Android App Keeps Readers Connected to Cumming Patch

The Patch folks at our headquarters in New York announces a new Patch Android app called "Patch Places," which allows you to navigate every place in every Patch town in the country.

This follows the April launch of our app for the iPhone. So, how does the new app work?

Select any Patch community and tap into a mobile directory of every place in town with Patch Places for Android. And when we say every place in town, we mean it--from local businesses and organizations to government offices and public parks. With hundreds of comprehensive listings in the palm of your hand, you can find what you need any time, anywhere.

Search and browse nearby shops, restaurants, nightlife spots, salons–anything you can think of. Once you find the spot you’re looking for, Patch Places maps it out so it’s easy to locate. Plus, browse pictures, rate and review, or share a place page via e-mail, Facebook and Twitter. You can even call a place straight from its page for more info on their goods or services.

Place pages let you easily:

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