Patch Launches New Android App

Search and browse nearby shops, restaurants, nightlife spots, salons – anything you can think of.

The Patch folks at our HQ in New York have just announced a new Patch Android app called 'Patch Places', which allows you to navigate every place in every Patch town in the country. So awesome!

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 anytime, 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 email, Facebook and Twitter. You can even call a place straight from its page for more info on their goods or services.
