Frequently Asked Questions

What is The Front 5?

The Front 5 is the first page to greet you on the iPhone app and contains the most relevant local news, events, and editor tweets.

What is the Favorites feature?


We have baked in a feature that lets users cache any Patch content for offline viewing (in airports, subways, etc.). It’s a pretty neat interface!

When will the app come out on Android?

Soon!
