Wow. The new Patch app is a major upgrade - it’s super fast and makes following news from multiple towns super easy. I follow where I live, where I work, where I get up and where I vacation. Love the ability to customize the notifications by town too. I highly recommend enabling notifications as well - the local alerts are amazing.

Why no comments?. I like the app and getting notifications of local news, but miss the comments section that appears on the website. Often comments provide more details or insights into the matter at hand and I'd like to see them in the app.

Has become my go to. I don’t usually go past the stars rating but I feel strongly about this app. I’m very impressed by the amount of “local” information I can access using Patch. I have access to news, activities and all things that influence my area. It’s precise to my location in one click and easy to read. Im spreading the word and hope more find and use this worthy app. Keep up the good work Patch staff!

Best for Local News. The is the best app I have found for local news and events - including restaurant openings/closings and inspections; local politics, and local events. Regular weather, transit changes and real estate features. However, we have two homes so I have noticed some articles are duplicates among cities. Also some article are local and some are statewide (like events), which I wish were more local. Overall, a great app.

Slightly less abysmal than their website?. At least it doesn’t make all of the content disappear completely from the page whenever I scroll down “below the fold”, like the website does. Still, it’s a bit frustrating when there’s a link to an external document and the only thing the app lets me do with the link is to open it in their built-in browser, which does NOT display the URL or make it accessible in any manner that I can identify. The result is that whatever third party source (document, web page, article, whatever), that I am looking at cannot be saved or shared or even located outside of the app, without Googling it from scratch.

Not current or in date order. Ive had this app for a few years and never really use it, maybe im using this app wrong. But i have 4 local towns added as favorites. And theres no sections or organization. Its also in no date order. Nothing current. Just inundated with local houses for sale, pet adoption and shops. I want to see important things like the attempted armed breakin that happened early this morning a few blocks away that i heard about from my doorbell app. I wanted more details, ANY details, and nothing. Id like actual news, not a new house.

Despicable. Your writer has outed, not by name, but by location, restaurants that still offer indoor dining. To what end? Is the Patch our savior to keep us all knowledgeable and safe from Covid? Does the Patch not believe those choosing to dine in understand their personal Covid risks more than the Patch does? Has the Patch looked at the constitutionality of the Governors Covid mandates? He has a time limit to act unilaterally but that expired months ago. Did the “journalist” writing the outing piece speak with the owners of the restaurants accused of the violations? No quotes were given, but he obviously spoke with the police in an effort to shut down the indoor dining. And he pointed county authorities to a small subset of county restaurants to target. The action of the “journalist” to tattle on restaurants trying to stay in business is despicable. Does the Patch advocate neighbors tattling on neighbors? Gee, where did that happen in Europe in the late 1930’s and how did that turn out? I’m turning off the Patch now. You have lost me as a reader. You’re unnecessary.

Patch. The local news that I receive is great. It’s current news not 3 days old in my local Newspaper. This app has not only current news but a heck of a lot more well written stories, words are spelled correctly but in many cases I understand that spell check will not like a word. That’s why you proof read your work. Well done all keep on rolling.

Best local news app!. This app is great for all your local news. You can add more then one town, which is great. From local business and activities that are in your neighborhood , to the weather and housing that is available if you are looking in a certain place. This app is just wonderful and I highly recommend you to download.

Select what news stories I want. I like getting local news about my community but I wish I could tell Patch which stores I am interested in and which I am not. I would like to be able to turn off notifications about real estate since I am not in the market as well as pets and school sports. I just want to know about local government, local crime, and what changes are happening or being proposed within my community. Please provide a way to select what types of stories to be notified about in the next update like so many other news apps offer. Then you will get 5 stars.

The Patch. I just recently started receiving the Patch. I find it to be very informative and timely with news in our area. Thankful to everyone who takes the time to text to make sure we are aware of what’s happening, and it keeps us up to date so that we don’t miss important or fun events happening right here in the south suburbs! Blessing to all! ~Gloria

Patch doesn’t function any more. I used to rely on the Patch for my local news. For the past few weeks, although I get notifications about stories in my area on my iPhone, when I click on the app it loads for a few seconds then closes. I’ve tried every fix I could find online and none have worked. I’m disappointed and need to find another source of local news.

No more reader comments?. Patch claims to have removed reader comments while they improve the app. This seems very disingenuous because they could’ve left reader comments on while they made their improvements. So it seems Patch has become just another news aggregate site. The reader comments were a very important reason, most readers went on the Patch. Removing reader comments has made the patch, a shell of its former self. Local news with local comments is now gone. I am sure readership is way down and will continue to go down until they remedy this situation, by turning reader comments back on .

Local News It’s Amazing. This app is very good for updating local news! It actually pops up on the app before it does on any other news feed app! I love the fact that you can check other areas that offer the patch to see what’s going on. Over all it’s just an amazing app for breaking news and updated extremely fast.

Patch for Local News. Patch is the perfect app for a quick update on news in your neighborhood and local area - Patch covers topics that have long since disappeared from the daily metro papers and online apps. I check Patch daily and follow on Twitter - quick and easy way to stay informed - highly recommend.

Too much click-bait. 1. I get way too many alerts every day that are nowhere near my selected town. I want local events and news, not extra incidents that end up being far from me. You never know where the event or incident was until you’ve clicked several times and then find out you wasted your time about an incident at a mall two hours away. 2. Even when you finally get past the headline, the name of the location is buried deep in the article. I’m told that all of this must be bait so they register more clicks on their website. 3. Updates to news lag behind other news outlets.

A lot better. The scrolling is better and I was able to do a post about a neighborhood crime. Im not getting much feedback on it, so I’m not sure if I’m helping out Back at 1 star. It is only app I have that opens stories instead of scrolling down Back to 5 stars. Scrolling is fixed again. Hopefully for the last time. It is a useful app when it works

Location. I like the Patch app for giving me news about my area I do wish Patch would use you location and give you news on the area you’re in. I live in Alexandria and work in Chantilly so it would be neat if it would update on my route to tell me things that were going on on the parkway, or if I travelled to Atlanta to let me know when I’m there what’s going on.

Much Improved. I have been using the Patch app for a number of years. In fact I even registered an account in order to share my thoughts to the articles that interested me. For a while it was fun. But that changed when there was a sharp rise in both political comments on articles that had no connection to politics. That and the increase in the comments by bigots. It started to remind of the nonsense I’ve viewed on social media which I’ve stepped away from. Now that this option has been removed I can now focus on the articles without worrying about the ignorant commentary being added to it. Hopefully it will stay this way.

Keeps me up date.. Keeps me locally informed, yet I feel that it’s a bit behind in user friendlyness. The app feels a bit difficult to maneuver, but I do believe it is great, but young for online/iPhone information. It shows I have 2 messages, and I can not clear 2 even though I went through, all all articles. I believe it is technical thing that will be fixed as the Patch grows. 4 stars because it’s the only online local news, that I feel gives true fast local news. I would give it 5 if better technically advised. Today’s user’s need the simple, fast, and easy.

Voiceover accessibility problems. After town is selected and notifications enabled tabs at bottom of screen do not speak when navigated (minor problem). Headlines speak but articles under them do not speak. If articles are pixilated pictures there’s nthing patch developers can do to improve this situation though. Please test this app with VoiceOver turned on and both look and listen as you go for mismatches between what you see and what you hear. Those mismatches will be the VoiceOver accessibility problems and yu may even find more than I found.

What happened?!. This app was great before this update. Now it looks amazing but I can’t sign in. There is no sign in section like before and when I open the app after enough time, it makes me pick my patch/s like a new user. I also tried to get help from the feedback and it got sent back to melt email because it can’t receive messages. If I can sign in again I will gladly change my review to 5 stars. The reason I went as low as 1 is because when you break main functions of an app, it’s worthless. It’s like having a kindle app that all of a sudden can’t open ebooks. Saving my settings and bookmarks is a major part of Patch. Please fix so I can rate it what it deserves when it functions properly! Thank you.

Hope you like setting an app up every day. I signed up for Patch emails for local news updates in the small town I live in. Those emails were clickbaity (open the email, read a teaser, click on “read more,” and get taken to a collection of articles where I have to click yet again on the one I want to read). Taking a reader through that many clicks made it seem like that’s all they were after. So I downloaded the app and went through the town selection, opted in for alerts, clicked “let’s get started,” etc. to finally read some local news. The next time I got an alert from the app, Patch made me go through the entire town selection/set up alerts/click click click process as if I had never set it up before. And this is after clicking on an alert *that the app sent me*. Next day it did the same thing. After a few days of this I deleted it.

Current and timely information. Patch is very current with daily information. I was attempting to get my Covid 19 shot and things were kind of crazy. Each day there was new information on Patch that helped you to maneuver what was actually happening. It gave me great confidence and direction to make plans. It also allows me to be updated to other areas in which family members live. Because it is so current, I am able to inform and share this app with others.

Great local paper. I have been reading this babe since I was about nine years old this paper is very very very wonderful if you are from the town of Tewksbury or Wilmington I highly suggest that you get this app and pay cheaper for the subscription to be on your phone then it would be for them to deliver to your house

Offline interruption. It appears that while reading an article, this app suddenly gives you a green screen with “No Connection” while reading an article and quickly reverts back when connection is established again. As a developer myself, I’d NEVER allow this to happen on any of my apps. This should have been cached locally and only shown to the user if the user toggled back to the tableview of data while then, trying to access another article that is yet to be fetched. Terrible development team at Patch. Disappointed!

Good content but many articles will not open. This app does a solid job of providing local news content you might not find a more common news app. However, something has went drastically wrong with the latest version of the app, as several of the stories will not open when you tap on the link, and the app freezes at that point. The problem seems to crop up most often with articles providing links to multiple news stories. I can get into the capsule summary but if I try to click on any of the links to read more specific details about a specific story, the article will not open and the app freezes.

You are the best in the world. Thank you.. I learn more from you. This is the town that I came from. I came from Rhode Island and I came to Rockville and that’s where I stay at in half of 50 years. Thank you so much for being here to share your stories.

Lacks purpose. Due to the inability to curate local news from the city you’re in, this is a useless app. Who wants to read a hyperlocal news feed of somewhere they don’t live? And the place it defaults me to is just an unremarkable nearby suburb nobody gives a crap about which is nowhere near me, it’s almost 30 miles away. I have written the Patch team a few times about this and they don’t reply. So I guess if you want a newsfeed you have no control over and one that doesn’t show you any actually local news, this app is for you.

I STILL give up on this App. I gave it another look after the Developer urged me to give it another try. Still useless. Absolutely nothing here I haven't already seen reading my local papers. Why bother wasting my time to click on links to articles I have already read? I'm done! ------------------ The navigation with the upgrade is a pain in the rear. But more important, at least for my 'hood, the stories are boring and useless. Poor subsets of what I can read in the paper. And that assumes I can even get stories to load. Most of the time the App says there is a connection error with the server. It is June 29 and the stories displaying are mostly from mid-May. Useless!!!

App too slow - web better. I installed the app looking for more convenient access. It does not deliver. The page opens blank and takes a long time to load content. For this I might as well look at the page on the web. The integrations with the home screen are terrible. The content cuts can’t make anything that says. Definitively not os13 ready. Lastly, and this has nothing to do with the app - content is lacking. Not much local things listed - just general news available everywhere else.

Love the Patch app!. I use it for local news in my hometown as well as other cities around the country that I have family ties to or visit often. I can be in Southern California and get current, in-the-moment news from Massachusetts! The stories are great, the notifications keep me informed and up to date, I feel in the loop with local happenings, I love it!

EXcellent NEWS from all over the Pgh area. I’m new to the Pittsburgh Patch and live in Jefferson Hills area. I tried a few from the South Hills area and deleted the Apps, not living in those areas, the information wasn’t relevant to me. I’m a member of the Carnegie Museum and I do go into Pittsburgh frequently and I like news of Pittsburgh. The Pittsburgh Patch seems to cover a wide range of information....very satisfied with the content. As far as I’m concerned it’s an excellent hidden news source.

Real News. There is one email I don’t mind seeing in my inbox all the time and that’s the Patch. The news they report is genuine and you can tell right away whomever wrote it took the time to check facts, etc. Feels like a real journalism throwback. Just found out they have an app (I am probably super late to the party) but excited none the less. Solid local news.

Consistently Captivating and. I enjoy Patch because I can easily access news weather and entertainment relevant to my area. I can find interesting things to do right around the corner. There is also an area where neighbors can express their opinions about companies whether positive or negative based on their experience with the company or you can ask your neighbors if they know of a company who specializes in woodworking or cement work ect. Also, you can find a babysitter , find a job or sell your car or advertise a yard sale. The list is endless. I highly recommend using Patch as a tool you should have in your toolbox everyday!

Great.... wait never mind. I’ve really appreciated having this app. I come from a large family that’s spread out so it’s nice to know what’s going on in the communities where my siblings and parents live. I’ve also moved around a bunch and it’s been nice to keep tabs on the local news of where I used to live. The reason I gave it 4 stars is because a few weeks ago it started getting glitchy and wasn’t loading new articles and the few articles I booked marked disappeared. I had to uninstall and reinstall it to get it working. iOS recently did an update so that could have been why but I was still disappointed I lost the articles I had saved. Update: it’s glitchy again, not giving me updated local information and deleting my bookmarks. This is the second time in just a couple of months it’s doing this. If this is happening because of updates on my phone then I will have to delete and reinstall it every time.... that’s really frustrating. I love what this app provides but extremely disappointed in how its operating.

Great, if Patch covers your area. Easy and intuitive interface. Does NOT spam with too many alerts - only ‘high-interest’ news events/stories pop-up with an alert (of you enable alerts). Patch, strangely enough, is not available for my town/county. However every other town/county surrounding mine is covered - so I still get worth-while info. 5 stars, because I suspect my town/county is just not worthy of Patch - not holding this against an app. Where can I go to rate government now?

Local news and info at your fingertips. The Patch app is the easiest way to stay in the loop on all things happening in your town. The push notifications are useful and the app is easy to navigate. If you want to keep up with news and updates in town, download today.

Patch. I love this app! It keeps me up to date on the latest headlines for my area. I get more news about my area through the Patch than I do on our local news on tv. So I thank you all for that! Keep up the great work!! The only thing I’d like to see is more cities in New Hampshire added. Like, Berlin, North Conway, Hampton, Manchester. That’s the only thing I have to add. Thanks again for all of your hard work everyone!

First email I check every morning.. I check Patch daily for updates. I developed this habit before this pandemic I liked updates on what’s happened overnight and early that morning. Car thefts, break-ins, accidents, porch pirates, etc — even occasional good news and lovely photography — the best way to start my day. Thank you!

Just like our hometown used to be. Newspapers today are not what they used to. One minute you’re reading a local article, the next an article about something that happened in Timbuktu. It’s more of a one size fits all. Seems the only thing that changes is the masthead. Local newspapers don’t exist. They’ve been consolidated under giant publishers. Patch brings back the look an feel of the paper that used to be waiting at your front door.

Love the local news. Great local news! It’s nice to see local/neighborhood news on the Internet. I hate watching it on TV — terrible. The only criticism I have is the “neighbors” who post the same thing over and over (e.g., photography of aging in NYC). However, the benefit with the app is that they are identified as “neighbors,” distinguished from the reg folk. Overall, the app is very helpful. I’ve received notifications about gas line maintenance when my super has not.

Great local reference/info app.. I use this app daily, I fact..more than once, daily. I’m not the”review type”. I’m more the Talk to my friends, family. Like I’m telling them about something that will enhance their life, save time, or at least reference, the LOCAL 411!!!! The rapid delivery Of local newsworthy information, directly relevant to my life! And my comfort. Not to mention more times than NOT, MY safety, as well as my loved ones Way to go with this local info app

Could be a lot better.. Most news apps we can edit what we want information on. I am not interested in houses up for sale and find it irritating that I’m forced to get alerts on homes for sale. I also get stressed out seeing people not social distancing. You need to set an example during these difficult times. Other then that it’s an okay app.

Helpful local news. It’s hard to find the news Patch puts out in any other newspaper or website. It’s hyper local and lets you know what’s happening in your town every day—traffic alerts, school news and lost pets in my neighborhood. Reading every morning is part of my routine.

Fabulous!. I was getting the emails and then decided to try out the app. I’ve been using it for quite some time now. I love the ease of use, that I can get events, news, updates on news, entertainment and other goings on in my community all in one place. I’m also impressed with how fast important alerts are received and the follow ups. This app is fantastic at keeping me informed in every way. It runs great and I am very happy with it. Kudos to the team who keep this app running top notch!

Great local news app!. It is stupid how difficult it is to get local news updates without having a GD twitter account... (even with having one there so so much spam and so many adds you can’t even find the correct information). This app is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thank you Patch!!! You are wonderful!

Perfect. I don’t understand why all the apps can’t allow what the patch does. I have family and children all over the USA and this is the only one that will let me subscribe to all of those areas. I use to have to make 4 different users and be verified while actually visiting the are by location finding software or wasn’t allowed to see. I think it’s wonderful this APP it gives me much more than I could of asked for! Thumbs up 👍

Can’t comment on the article. Only question i want to ask is why i can’t comment on the article that was written because of that I am giving 2 stars and one more thing that i don’t like is that patch is giving me 2 same emails for example i got 2 emails for 19 year old who died for his funeral. I actually wanted to comment on 14 year old girl who was found in New York safe about her mom being charged but every time i want to comment on something it’s not giving me please i want to comment on articles please fix that and i am giving you 5 stars rating and please just send me one email not 2

Incredibly useful and resourceful. I have been using this app for quite some time now and I find that it is quite amazing. It is great for reading local news that normally is quite important. I look at it every day to read local news and I prefer it more than ANY other news app. I also love how you can just search for a place that you want to read news about instead of scrolling all the way down just to read one story like you do on other apps. Patch is an incredibly useful and resourceful app. By Juliacat

New fish market on 5th Ave. Haven’t gone to this market but I feel badly for the market I have always used since moving to Park Slope 32 yes ago. The fish market on 5th that I use is excellent. Always fresh and the service is very friendly. This market is on5th between 7&8 Streets.

All stories are Local. Many stories on Patch are from my town which keeps me informed of my surroundings and the events that are happening and helps me plan

Doesn’t send me notifications. I think this app is great, but it doesn’t ever send me push notifications even though I’ve made sure they’re on several times. When I check the alerts tab in the app stories have always piles up but I never get notifications about them. Please fix — I got this app mostly so the push notifications would help me stay up to date!

6/5 for sure!!. I neverrrrrwrite reviews but this App is worth it definitely. I am new to the area so I don’t know the ways of listening/getting nearby news here in America. This app makes it super easy for me to know the 410. Question - Does this app apply for Australian news too?

Importance of local news. Since the newspapers have staffing issues, and I’m not capable of covering some of the local news, the patch has taken up that void and keeps us informed from the largest to the smallest matters that affect us locally

Review. Articles are interesting, informative and short. Thank you for quickly bringing us up to date with local news.

Needs work on notifications. Why do I have to open the app to see notification badge on the bell in the My Articles section for New Alerts? The app should have that notification badge on the upper right corner of the app, like other apps use notification. Otherwise nice app. I prefer the format of the My Article section where you see the headline and a smaller picture. Fix the notification and you’ll have a better app.

It’s alright I guess. It was a lot better when you could comment on the articles. The Trumpanzees have ruined it for everyone on just about every platform with their constant nastiness I suppose.

Patch articles affect NYC & State residents. The articles in Patch are/were insightful, timely, well written and relevant. So why is it that the ability to post an article to Facebook or Twitter has been removed. Often I feel that others who may not subscribe should see your articles. That may motivate them to become subscribers as well.

Little trouble lately. I love reading this news app. Lately though, I’m having trouble opening any articles. I can open the initial headline page, but the individual articles don’t open. Not sure it’s if it’s the app or not. I’m not having trouble with anything else.

Liked until. I like getting local news since the major news coverage is usually King County then North. My main issue lately is the first thing it shows every day is the daily Covid numbers. This is on most news stations and it’s not what I want to see as the first news article each day.

Thank you for the news. I no longer live in Madison and in many ways I miss it. Your news, updates, property listings, and obituaries keeps me informed. For all you cover I am thankful. S. Clark

Frustrating App, Clicking and Scrolling is a Nightmare!. This app is very frustrating to use, you try and click on an article and nothing happens, you finally get into the article and you can’t scroll. You try and scroll on a list page and you can only click into an article. Please get better devs or better QA. The app has great info, but is terrible to use.

Great App with Tons of Breaking News. Great local News/breaking news/Traffic/Sig Alerts/Weather App, Easy to Use/ Navigate, Very Informative, Patch Always Updates ALL the latest breaking News stories!! Hopefully Patch can add more Cities to the Riverside County and San Diego County Areas😉

Love access to differ areas. I find Patch very informative. I subscribe to several different areas so I can keep track of things going on where my family and friends live around the state.

Love the PATCH and its APP. Love to read local information provided by these folks. Don’t think the APP allows comments, which is probably a good thing since every other comment I tend to read is pretty negative (at times downright nasty). Be that as it may, the APP is super!

Like the local New & Customer service. Love the local news aspects. Also, I made a suggestion to via their support email and voila, they listed to the suggestion and a week later made an update with the new feature (landscape mode). Great service.

Gym S.. The app keeps you up-to-date immediately. Better than a newspaper because it’s current. It’s faster than television because I can see what I want and stay current.

Great information, if you overlook their unreliable advertisers. I really like knowing what is going on in my area, and through the pandemic they have had several journalists that are going over and above. However, on one of my first days using the site, I clicked on an ad that took me to a scam website that cost me over$300. That stings!

Patch is a great idea!. Love the Patch App! Helpful to be able to actually comment or offer suggestions or get suggestions and comments from community. Neighbors helping neighbors. A great idea and great way to keep in touch and look out for each other.

Great publication for Los cal new and global corcnavirus info. Someone in California recommended this to me for its Coronavirus graphing but what I like the most is the extensive local information on my small city in the East Coast. I usually don’t write many reviews but this publication Is doing a fantastic job!

A Great Way to Keep in Touch. I enjoy Patch. It keeps me up to date with my hometown and wherever I hang my hat. The price is right and the journalists write in a clear, concise manner. The comments, whether I agree with them or not, are fun to read.

Great Local News Content. At a time when local news content is waning due to the closing of local newspapers and the consolidation of local stations, the Patch stems part on the information desert!

Nothing more than realtor!. 99% of this shows realtor sales in around your area. Weather is WAY off! Yesterday showed 100% rain and we received a big fat ZERO rain all day same went the day before. There is news, but only average of 2! Today there was no news, just again, you guessed it...MORE HOUSES FOR SALE! When you do receive news (it’s not updated regularly) it’s usually already a day late. And it doesn’t even allow me to choose my town, just the next largest city close to me! Worthless app!

Nice app for local news and events. I enjoy Patch. I stopped the paper due to the expense and that it was mostly ads. Patch keeps me in touch with local news and events. I like being able to have multiple cities available. Thanks Patch

Looking for a Search Function. I like this app a lot, but I sometimes feel limited that I can’t search for an article. If I want to find an article I saw earlier, I have to scroll through the feed and hope to find it. If it was earlier than a few days, I’ll probably never find it because I follow a lot of towns.

Great, Easy way for me to get updated info on what is happening locally. I love reading Patch daily. It does a great job reporting local events and incidents as well as local housing, Webinars, markets etc. I love it, it is my one stop in the morning for my local news :)!

Great source of local info!. This is a great source of the most up-to-date information on a local level! I really like the way the app has distinguished the individual towns from one another-it’s not just a mishmash of local-ish reporting of the entire County.

Rating. I love patch and look forward to reading it every day. I wish that I could forward some articles to my friends and family. Since sometimes they question information on the weather and I would like to send them the article to prove my statement.

Awesome App. This app keeps me up to date on things are they happen. It is accurate and tells me everything I need to know that is going on in my town and surrounding towns. This app is all you need, to know what is going on.

great service to community but very unstable app. Patch continues to have a serious problem with app stability. it's impossible to read an article. the app repeatedly restarts the article, often right from the first screen, always whenever you try to scroll the article... over & over & over. so, what could be a great service to the community is actually an annoyance. unfortunate.

Relevant Up To Date. Look forward to reading the articles on important newsworthy information. Appreciate the frequent weather information and enjoy the local entertainment and real estate offerings.

Home owner. I really like Patch. It really keeps me informed on going on in my selected areas. It's not loaded with annoying. Ads and unnecessary junk that I don't need....Well developed..I would give it a 5 Star rating if the Page wouldn't take off automacally back to the top,while trying to read..

Great for local activity updates during pandemic!. I have been using this to find out what’s happening, opening, issues and updates during the pandemic ! Makes it so easy to check up and find out the latest.

Why you should download the app. Very local news available long before the other usual sources report. Well written and with accompanying photos. See what’s happening in your neighborhood. Reported without bias and easy to access on your device

Best source of local news. Patch provides quick access to local news. Outshines our local paper for coverage and alerts. Don’t mind the clickbait and ads in order to get free solid local and regional news.

On line store. I have used this app for at least two years. I received purchases which were exactly as ordered and advertised. Items ordered were delivered promptly. I recommend this application without reservation.

Great local news app!. I haven’t had this app long but already love it !! I wake up and glance at my phone and immediately learn about anything important that has happened where I live. I can get just a quick summary, or open it and read the whole story .... loving it!!

Patch Review. I enjoy reading the news and housing reports on Patch. Born and raised in Baltimore and now living in Florida, I like to keep up on what’s going on at home. You will find more news here than tv or the Sun and you’ll get it faster. I hate writing reviews, but, Patch is a medium worthy of a good review. 😎

Look forward to my PATCH Daily. As I have two local residences, and children in nearby towns, I love the PATCH for all my local news, updates and weather. I can trust them for accurate up to date information. Thank you.

Ms. I appreciate finding out this type of local news. Most news rarely includes includes my town and my county! It is vey much appreciate this local very relevant news! Thanks! Keep it comping P.S. I never rank anything the top number as I feel everything can always have room for improve in some way.

Very limited app - online website is better. Patch app is Limited compared to the Patch website. All you can see is a few repetitive posts from these categories: weather, neighbors posts, events, local businesses. All of which number in single digits. Uninstalled it because the website version offers more navigation freedom and information on local communities including crime news tab which is absolute missing from the app.

Unbiased Local News. If you are looking for unbiased local news, Patch is for you. The reporters cover everything from breaking news to investigative features. I highly recommend downloading this app and signing up for its newsletters.

Great for local news. I love this app because it gives you local news as it is happening. Sometimes you get news stories that don't make it to the daily news. Keep up the great work.

Up-to-the-minute Updates are Super Appreciated!. I love getting real time updates on what’s happening in my neighborhood, and beyond. I’m also a member of Next Door. Sometimes it’s more rumor than facts. So I feel like The Patch is a little more tied in to police reports and local law enforcement.

Community Contributor. There are frequent posts by a “community contributor,” which appear on the site as if they are written by a Patch staff member but are actually opinions of a local resident. Could you possibly add a disclaimer (ie community contributor, not affiliated with Patch) onto the byline so readers are not confused between journalism and opinion? Thanks. A Patch fan PS No need to publish this suggestion….

Love this app. The local news stations hardly ever cover stories that happen in the suburbs but with this app I can stay up to date on all of the stories that are applicable to my daily life. I love that I can get news, weather and all stories in one app. Thanks Patch!

Good news. Patch provides great news and information keeping the community really informed. I get news there that I don’t see or hear from anywhere else. The only recommendation I would make would be if the text could be enlarged either by a larger font (mine doesn’t work) or by being able to enlarge it by stretching with my fingers.

Convenient news updates. I’m really glad I downloaded the Patch app. It’s nice to be able to get our local news so conveniently. Since downgrading our cable to streaming I felt like I was missing so much. Glad I have this. ;D

Very good content, ok app. Patch provides an excellent service, however most of the news in the app looks like ads. Just the way it is formatted. The user experience could be better, but the news is great. I wish there were more people active in my communities.
