Hermosa Beach 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 Patch app is finally here, which means now you can take us everywhere.

The free iPhone app, which went live last week, 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 the community.

For starters, the app will consist of all the things you get on the daily Hermosa Beach Patch site, including community news, weather, local business listings and events here in town.

You can read the latest articles on city events, the best place to grab lunch, features about local people, and stay hip with arts and entertainment information.

You can also share your voice by commenting on stories, uploading your photos to the site and business listings. For example, 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 the community street fair? Upload them to our stories about the festivities.

You can also use the app to share your favorite stories and/or business listings on Facebook or via e-mail. Also, you can save events to your iPhone calendar in just seconds!

And while we know you visit Hermosa Beach Patch, the new app also allows you to switch easily between neighboring Patches that interest you.

Unfortunately, we don't have a Droid app yet, but developers say that's coming soon. Download the iPhone app today using this link, and if you have any feedback, please send it to mobile_thoughts@patch.com.

By the way, be sure to follow Hermosa Beach Patch on Twitter and "Like" us on Facebook.
