My supervisor and I attended a workshop on smart phone apps for local government. On the workshop, the App-Order demonstrated “mydistrictd”, an Android application for the District D in the Clark County of Nevada. After log into the application, citizens may choose an issue that they would like to report among the five main items (graffiti removal, illegal dumping, swimming poll, vacant properties). They then upload a picture, a text or audio note describing the issue. The phone’s GPS allows citizens to set location so that the city can quickly and accurately identify the problem area and solve the issue. Citizens may enter their information to enable the district to contact them on reported issue if needed.
The company App-order develops smart phone (mainly iPhone and Android) applications for local government for the purpose of not only increasing employee’s efficiency and responsiveness to issues identified but also measuring and managing employee’s performance. The App-order provides apps in the fields of public works, asset collection, permits and inspection, general services, surveys and PAM 1.0 mobile code enforcement software system.
Is this a work in progress or reality? Pretty Cool!
