As promised, in addition to an Android app, Ballard News-Tribune iPhone app is now available.

You can download it for FREE onto your iPhone and it features some great tools.

The Ballard News-Tribune has been publishing news and information for the North Seattle area and beyond since 1898, the iPhone app is just the next step in community news.

The app gives you the most recent headlines and images as posted on our website with links to the corresponding article.

You can even get instant updates when new articles are posted and access to the Ballard Flickr gallery and YouTube channel.

Beyond those features you'll find that you can use the app to submit news stories to the BNT through a service called 360 News. The feature lets you take or use an existing photo, or video, and submit it directly to the Herald through the app itself. This solves the problem of attaching photos or videos or trying to find the right email address, it's all built in.

Another useful feature the app permits is 'Push Notifications' which appear on your screen in the event of breaking news. This feature is not used for standard news stories or features. Instead, it's reserved for news that has a shorter time value or that is still a developing story
