While part of the fun of picking up a buzz is flipping through all the pages, getting the color ink on your fingertips, or using it afterward as a means to keep dry in the rain, sometimes there just isn’t a stack close by to help you get the latest news of the CU community. While we love our print product dearly, the Illini Media Company has come up with a new way to bring you all of the features of buzz on-the-go so you can always be up to date on what’s going on around town.

With Illini Media’s new Illini Mobile application for the iPhone, you can easily and quickly navigate through buzz’s latest articles on local arts and entertainment wherever you are and whenever you want. All you have to do is visit Apple’s app store, search Illini Mobile, and you can download the app for free.

Not only does the Illini Mobile App offer easy access to all of the week’s buzz content, but it also offers many other features, bringing the best of buzz magazine, the217.com, WPGU and the Daily Illini all in one place.

If you find buzz’s weekly calendar helpful but can’t find a stack of buzz’s where you are, the IlliniMobile application has our comprehensive calendar built in. With all of the events organized just as they are in print, Illini Mobile’s version of our calendar is just as familiar, organized and easy to peruse as it is in print and on the217.com so you can plan your night on-the-go.

The217.com’s restaurant directory has also been brought to the Illini Mobile app. If you’re in transit and need help deciding what to do for dinner, the Dining feature of the app allows you to search our comprehensive restaurant directory by type of food and amenities.

Other features of the Illini Mobile app allows you to listen to WPGU on your phone, read Daily Illini articles and search for available apartments around town. Make sure to download the Illini Mobile app now on the Apple app store.
