Patch iPhone App is Here

We try not to toot our own horn too much at Patch, but this one’s too good to keep to ourselves. The tech elves at the company have been working their magic, and the mobile Dormont-Brookline Patch app is finally here, which means that you can now easily take us everywhere.

The free iPhone app, which went live Thursday morning, is in Apple’s App Store and features a variety of ways for you to stay connected and keep up to date about what’s going on in your community.

The app will consist of all of the things that you get on the Dormont-Brookline Patch website, including community news, weather, local business listings and events in and Brookline. You can read the latest articles on community events, the best places to grab lunch and features about people in town—and stay hip with arts and entertainment information.

You also can share your voice by commenting on stories and business listings—and even uploading photos. Having a great meal at a local restaurant? Upload a picture of the main course to that restaurant’s directory listing. Did you snap a few photos at a community fair? Upload them to our stories about that fair.

You also can use the app to share your favorite stories and/or business listings on Facebook and/or Twitter or by e-mail.

Also, you can save events to your iPhone calendar in just seconds!

And while we know that you already visit the Dormont-Brookline Patch site, the new app allows you to easily switch between neighboring Patches that also might interest you.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a Droid app yet, but developers say that it’s coming soon.
