What is The Front 5?

The Front 5 is the first page to greet you on the iPhone app and contains the most relevant local news, events, and editor tweets. In the near future, we are going to allow editors to handpick the content on this page, making it even more powerful!

What is the Favorites feature?

We have baked in a feature that lets users cache any Patch content for offline viewing (in airports, subways, etc.). It’s a pretty neat interface!

When will the app come out on Android?

Soon!

Why don't you have a Patch for Bothell or Issaquah?

We are continually launching more Patch sites. It’s a lot of work, so bear with us in our journey. Until those sites are launched, our mobile app will be covering the 800+ Patch communities that are live.
