Montréal Pride has launched a new mobile app to offer users up-to-date information on the schedule of events during Pride Week, Aug 12 to 18, 2013.

The app will also provide news updates, interactive maps, sponsor and hotel listings, plus photo galleries and other features.

“With so many participants bringing their smartphones to our events to stay in touch, connect to social media and take photos, we know they are going to love being able to see and share all the latest news about what’s happening during Pride. And users can choose to interact with the app in either English or French,” says Éric Pineault, president of Montréal Pride.

“We worked with Fierté Montréal to develop a bilingual application so that users can get the latest news about Montréal Pride in the language of their choice,” says David Foucher, chief executive officer of Edge Media Network. “Users can also upload their own photos and share content from the app on social networks.”

The Montréal Pride app is available for free download from the iTunes App Store for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad users, and from Google Play for Android users.

Pride Day in Montreal is Sunday, Aug 18, with the parade starting at 1pm.
