It’s finally here! We’re thrilled to announce the launch of the Springpad iPhone App – the newest way to save and access all of the information you want to remember.

How it works:

• When you want to remember something you come across, just save it in Springpad – products, restaurants, or books that seem interesting, wines you try at a party, things your friends recommend, or even random thoughts.
• We automatically organize and enhance what you save with useful information like directions, reviews, showtimes, menus, price comparisons, and links to make purchases and reservations.
• When you need it, it’s there for you – on your iPhone and on the web at Springpadit.com.
