The appwould provide information from the local government, conveying announcements onadministrative procedures and policies in a fast and accurate way. It wouldreplace loudspeakers, which are backwards and costly.
Localauthorities could survey residents about urban projects and plans in the wards.
Via theapp, local people could submit reports of traffic, environment or securityproblems, or notify official on food safety and hygiene. Feedback statisticswould be shown in the app.
In thefuture, people would be allowed to comment on notifications from localgovernments.
The appprovides emergency hotlines for residents by automatically detecting theirlocation.
It wouldalso increase e-government implementation, such as providing online publicservices that allow people to search websites quickly and provide officialinformation about tourism sites and important events. Information would beprovided in articles, pictures and videos.
Residentsand visitors would be able to evaluate or comment on the places or events. Thefeedback would help local authorities and tourism businesses better supportvisitors and improve the quality of services.
