Mobile phone app available

We're very keen and enthusiastic advocates of using technology to to discover and explore local data or access local services. Dale Ridley the OpenDataCommunities technical architect has developed a demonstrator mobile phone app to do just that.

What does it do

In the first major release the phone app will;

  • Discovers your nearest local council
  • Explore local council services
  • Explore council services in other areas

It allows easy navigation of services in a local authority.

The next release will let you explore and discover the local authority data held on OpenDataCommunities.
