No, you're not losing it! Patch looks different today. We did a quick visual nip-and-tuck to the homepage to make it even more user-friendly. And we've moved a couple pieces of furniture. For those keeping score: * We tweaked some words in our navigation bar to save space (e.g., "Traffic & Gas" is now "Commute") * We moved the weather icon next to the Patch branding so you can find it more quickly! * We moved, well, YOU closer to the top!

Pete - just saw this months later. How does wifi or cellular change anything in this conversation? Android includes tablets and phones. Just like ios includes tablets and phones. We're talking about apps for those platforms. Doesn't matter what connection they use. more ›
