Patch news
I love the Patch news. I can get more information from the Patch news that I can get from regular news on TV. This is why I am always staying in tune with Patch. Patch also gives me more updates. What is going on crime things that are value to know about events parties. New stores and special events in Joliet and the surrounding areas that I added to Patch thank you very much Patch keep up the good work. Don’t fold up cause this is a big help to the locals communities.

Very limited app - online website is better
Patch app is Limited compared to the Patch website. There is no Neighborly post option for sharing nature posts or uplift posts with others or reading neighbors posts like a social network. You can share articles and classified but no commentaries. All you can see is a few repetitive posts from these categories: weather, 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.

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.
