Patch for Android

Patch Places is the local directory for your town. Find any business or service in your area or for any of the 800+ Patch towns that we have launched across the country. Select any Patch community or use your location to connect to a mobile directory of every place near you with Patch Places for Android. From local businesses and organizations to government offices and public parks, you will have hundreds of comprehensive listings in the palm of your hand — anytime, anywhere.

With Patch Places you can:

  • Search for nearby shops, restaurants, and nightlife
  • Call a business location or find it on a map.
  • Browse pictures and upload your own.
  • Share place pages via email, Facebook, and Twitter.

Though we try to provide you with comprehensive information on the listings, you can also view a place’s official website for more information on their goods and services or save it to your favorites for later off-line viewing. Patch Places will work to help bring your community closer together and help you find and enjoy everything local. Try it out!
