A Faster Way to Follow East Brunswick
Eyes on EB started as a local news site focused on East Brunswick. The goal has always been to make it easier for residents to keep up with what is happening in town without having to search through multiple websites, social media pages and public calendars.
The mobile app is the next step in that.
Readers can open the app and quickly see the latest Eyes on EB stories, upcoming local events, public meetings, school information and high school sports coverage.
Instead of relying on a social media algorithm to decide whether you see a story, the app gives readers a direct way to check Eyes on EB whenever they want.
What Is Inside the App
The app is organized around the same information readers already find on Eyes on EB.
The Home screen gives readers a snapshot of what is happening in East Brunswick, including recent stories and upcoming events.
The News section provides access to Eyes on EB reporting across the different areas we cover.
The Calendar brings together public meetings, school events, community events and East Brunswick High School athletics in one place.
The HS Sports section makes it easier to find our East Brunswick High School schedules, results and weekly sports coverage.
Readers can also bookmark stories and events they want to come back to later. Those saved items stay on the device.
The Calendar Updates Without a New App Download
One of the most important parts of the app is that the information inside it is tied to the live Eyes on EB website and calendar.
That means when a new story is published or an event is added to the Eyes on EB calendar, readers do not need to wait for Apple or Google to approve a new version of the app.
The content updates from the live site.
That was important to us because local information changes constantly. Meetings are added, events are updated, sports schedules change and new stories are published throughout the week.
The app is meant to stay current without requiring users to constantly download new versions.
No Account, No Paywall
You do not need to create an account to use the Eyes on EB app.
There is no registration process and no paid subscription required to read stories or browse the calendar.
The goal was to keep the app simple.
Open it, read the news, check the calendar and find the information you need.
Built for East Brunswick
Eyes on EB is a hyperlocal publication, and the app is designed with that same focus.
This is not a general New Jersey news app.
It is built specifically around East Brunswick.
That includes Township Council coverage, Board of Education and school district reporting, redevelopment, community news, local events and East Brunswick High School sports.
The app is another way for residents to stay connected to what is happening in the community.
Apple and Android Are Both Live
The Apple version of the app launched first, followed by Android after completing Google Play’s closed-testing and production review process.
Both versions are now publicly available.
If you use an iPhone, you can download Eyes on EB from the Apple App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/eyes-on-eb/id6811271677
If you use an Android phone, you can download it from Google Play:

We Want Your Feedback
This is the first public version of the Eyes on EB app, and we expect it to continue evolving.
If something is confusing, if you find a problem or if there is a feature you think would make the app more useful, let us know.
The best local products are built around how people actually use them, and reader feedback will help shape what comes next.
For now, if you already follow Eyes on EB on the website or social media, download the app and give it a try.
It is one more way to keep East Brunswick news, events and local information close at hand.
