Service Industry News has an App!
100% digital — The voice of the pool & spa service professional can now be read from your phone

By Marcelle Dibrell

Readers of Service Industry News will be pleased to know that accessing the latest industry information just got easier.

This month, we launched our brand-new app, available now for iPhone users at the APPLE App Store, and on Google Play for Android users later this week.

Now, with the click of a button, you can get all the industry news from the newspaper with a history of saying it first.

When Biolab burned to the ground, you heard it here. When the service industry was deemed essential during the pandemic, you heard it here. When the Texas freeze of 2021 knocked out the plastics industry, you heard it here. And as chemical recommendations on chlorine and cyanuric acid change to a ratio, remember, Service Industry News gave you that information.

And now, you can get all that information on your smart phone with a single click, and even access our archives from the time Service Industry News went digital, 4 years ago.

Simply visit your app store and install our easy-to-use Service Industry News App. The app even features search capacity, so if you want to revisit a story you remember reading, you can do that.

Of course, in designing the app we wanted to keep it simple and stick to what we do best — write topical news and educate our readers so they can do what they do best — service pools and spas.

That is why our new app is just the paper. There are no bells or whistles. There are no distracting and impossible-to-close pop-up ads. Not only do we not want to bombard our readers with such nonsense, but we also do not want to take away any time from our loyal advertisers. You will only see advertisements that already appear in the pages of our newspaper, from companies targeting the service side of the pool and spa industry. We encourage you to support them just as they are supporting you.

As our readers know, Service Industry News is the leading trade publication for the pool and spa service professional, publishing the latest news while bringing educational content to help their service business.

Service Industry News is dedicated to bringing the news to service professionals everywhere and with our new app, we can!
