'Easton PA' Phone App Now Available

 By Christina Georgiou

Shopping in Easton, Pennsylvania? There's an app for that.

The Easton Main Street Initiative's smartphone app that's been in the works for a number of months to aid those shopping in the city is now available for download for Android smartphones.

A version for iPhone also went live today.

EMSI Assistant Manager Amy Boccadoro showed off the app on her smartphone Wednesday evening at the Easton Business Association's monthly mixer, held at Mesa Modern Mexican restaurant on South Third Street. About 50 local business owners, employees, and residents attended the event.

The downloadable gadget features a directory of Easton shops and services that allows users to virtually wander the city's Downtown and find events and things to do with a listings feature.

Boccadoro said the app may still undergo a few tweaks in coming weeks, but it's fully functional.

The Easton app was developed by Rokusek Design of Quincy, IL. The firm has also created shopping apps for its own hometown, Bedford, PA, and Ripley, WV.

To download the Easton PA app for Android (version 2.1 and up), click here, or search "Easton PA" at your favorite app store.

To download the app for iPhone  click here, or visit the Apple store and search "Easton PA".

Both versions of the smartphone utility are free.

Updated at 1:01 p.m. to add iPhone download link.
