SeeClickFix Releases iPhone App
Submitted by Erica Schlaikjer on August 13, 20093 Comments
Reporting problems in your neighborhood has become even easier, thanks to SeeClickFix’s new iPhone app, released today. You can download the app for free from Apple’s store. Then, with the power of GPS, report and comment on issues, and upload photos, to get local authorities to listen up and make your city better. (Read more about how this works here.)
Get on your phone and start fixin’! Check out our pilot SeeClickFix initiative on TheCityFix DC, where blogger Noah Kazis has encouraged people to integrate the proposed K Street Transitway with nearby metro stations. And stay tuned for a post later today about which Advisory Neighborhood Commissions we’ll be working with to engage local D.C. residents to use the service.
Does this technology work in Canada? If so, I think it has some real great applications. As well, I would like to promote it on my public works blog.
Thanks and keep up the great work.
Angel,
New Haven is where SeeClickFix started. The guys who created it are hoping to inspire similar community-based action in cities and towns across the U.S. – and the world!
We have embedded the map on TheCityFix DC already, and will soon be adding the feature to our other local blogs. Stay tuned!

I don’t know if I should be glad or terrified there are so many notifications in this picture of New Haven, where I live, somewhere in the locus of these alerts.
