Going to the inauguration, there’s an app for that

Posted: Updated:

By Todd Dewey - email

Washington, D.C. -

The Presidential Inaugural Committee (PIC) has announced its first-ever smartphone app that will bring key information about the official Inaugural events to Americans' fingertips like never before. The app will provide a complete list of activities, clickable links that show you how to get there, and blog content highlighting unique stories.

If you are not attending the Inauguration, you can watch live streaming video of official events so anyone can watch history in the making, the app will allow Americans to be a part of the Inauguration no matter where they are.

The PIC app is available for iPhones and Android devices. It is also available on the iPad. Please click HERE to download the PIC app. When the Joint Committee releases the mobile web app later this morning, users may download the icon by visiting www.inaugural.senate.gov from their smartphone.
