PatchTrail app for iPhone and iPad

Why is it that when buying a home you have access to less information about the suburb and surrounding area than the information and reviews available if you were buying a simple camera or pair of running shoes?
A home is generally a consumer’s biggest financial investment but the questions still remain:
- What is the closest school?
- Where is the best local coffee?
- How far away is the nearest bus stop?
- Where would I do the shopping?
- What’s the suburb like?
PatchTrail helps users discover social information about a particular property, place or geographical location in real time.
Our aim is to bring homes and neighbourhoods to life by providing relevant information to purchasers about the Real Estate ‘patch’ in which they’re searching. 
It is our vision that PatchTrail will work like a ‘TripAdvisor’ for Real Estate, delivering our users instantaneous advice with information about a particular area including transport, local shops, cafes, parks, schools and anything that may help influence their purchasing decision.
From there the user will be able to get information about the suburb – reviews, opinions and information about the suburb and it’s residents.
The interaction consumers have with Real Estate and local information is set to change. In the information age, the Real Estate industry has laid dormant. With the rise of social media, consumers aren’t just after numbers and analytics - they want the story and the context behind these numbers.
