Review summary

Users praise Patch as a solid local-news source and a simple platform for posting local content. However, many reviews highlight recurrent problems: unreliable push notifications, frequent app instability, restrictive edits (promo-posts required), login issues, and uneven content coverage. When fixes occur (e.g., notification fixes), it can be valuable, but reliability remains a concern.

Pros

Strong local news coverage with frequent updates.
Easy to publish local content (photos, events) and share area information.
Free to use with minimal ads.
Generally regarded as a useful local-information resource.

Cons

Push notifications often don't work or are unreliable on many devices.
App instability: glitches, crashes, and problems opening.
Recent changes restrict editing posts and require promoting posts to edit.
Login/sign-in problems with password, Facebook, or Google.
Content gaps and quality issues: incomplete stories, no posts in some towns, and repetitive coverage.

2026-02-01	Ga*****	This app still won't work properly with my Android. No push notifications. Can you work with Motorola so that I can enjoy this app once again? All other apps that had issues now work properly. Motorola Edge Plus 2023. Android 15.

2025-12-20	De*****	This story is incomplete and short on facts. it ended at the Promenade Mall and the driver of the car ran into a store, Round1 Acade, where he was captured by the deputies. The store was closed after that. Word spread quickly throughout the crowded mall and customers and workers panicked and quickly ran out of the mall. After the capture, the mall return to normal. No injuries, but a lot of worried people.

2025-11-22	Ra*****	Terms of Service? Where are they I click and nothing opens, same with privacy policy. Any app that doesn't want to give you their terms of service or privacy policy is likely something you might want to stay away from. it sucked to have to write this review because I do love all the beautiful women in NYC .
