PiAds Is Now on the App Store

We built PiAds to make local advertising simple. Today it gets even simpler.

The PiAds iOS app is now live on the App Store. Download it here.

Whether you're a venue owner managing screens or a local business booking ads, everything you need is now in your pocket.

What You Can Do

For Advertisers

The app gives you the full marketplace experience on mobile:

• Browse local venues — See every screen in your area on a map. Filter by venue type (gym, cafe, coworking, restaurant), audience, and pricing.
• Book campaigns — Pick your screens, choose your dayparts (breakfast, lunch, evening), upload your creative, and book — all from your phone.
• Track performance — See how many plays your ads have delivered, check debt status, and monitor active campaigns in real time.
• Manage creatives — Upload images and videos directly from your camera roll. Review and swap creatives without touching a computer.
• Cart & checkout — Add multiple screens to your cart and check out with Stripe in a few taps.

For Venue Owners

If you run a venue with PiAds screens, the app puts your CMS in your pocket:

• Manage screens — See all your screens, their status, and what's currently playing.
• Edit playlists — Add, remove, or reorder content on your playlists.
• View schedules — Check what's running during each daypart.
• Upload media — Snap a photo or shoot a quick video and push it to your screens instantly.
• Switch workspaces — Toggle between your Advertiser and Venue dashboards with one tap.

Why Mobile Matters

Most of our venue owners aren't sitting at desks. They're behind counters, on gym floors, running between meetings. When something needs to change on a screen — a new promotion, an updated class schedule, a holiday announcement — they need to do it right then, not "when I get back to my laptop."

Same for advertisers. A local business owner spots a venue they want to advertise in while grabbing coffee. Now they can book that screen before they finish their latte.

What's Inside

The app is built natively for iOS with the same features as the web dashboard:

• Discover tab — Interactive map of all available screens with venue details, audience info, and pricing
• Campaigns tab — Create, monitor, and manage your ad campaigns
• Cart — Multi-screen booking with Stripe checkout
• Creatives — Upload and manage your ad media assets
• Settings — Switch between Advertiser and Venue workspaces, manage your profile, notifications, and venues

Get Started

If you're already a PiAds user, your account, screens, campaigns, and everything else will be right there when you log in.

What's Next

This is our first release. We're actively working on:

• Push notifications for campaign updates and screen status changes
• Venue analytics and revenue reporting on mobile
• Android app (coming soon)
• Apple TV app for direct screen playback

We're building PiAds for the local businesses and venues that make neighborhoods like Arlington, Ballston, and Columbia Pike worth living in. Having the app on your phone means you're never more than a few taps away from your screens and your community.
