MOBILE APPS
FOR SMART CITIES
Increasingly these days, there is a need, which is almost a requirement, for citi-
zens to communicate and interact in a fast, effective, productive and satisfying
way with their representatives and municipal services.
Savvy travelers are becoming more and more dependent on their smart-
phones and mobile devices while traveling. It is estimated that 85% of leisure
travelers make use of their smartphone while travelling abroad.
Western Europe is the region with the second-largest number of smartphone
users, with 196.6 million in 2014. Three Nordic countries reached 50% pene-
tration last year, and were joined by the Netherlands and UK. In 2015, a raft of
other countries, including the rest of the EU-5, will make the majority smart-
phone jump. Like the UK, the US will also reach majority-smartphone penetra-
tion among its population this year, a major milestone for two of the most
advanced internet markets in the world. The US remains the second-largest
smartphone market worldwide, behind China, totaling 163.9 million users in
2014.

Case study:
ORADEA CITY
REPORT
Available on
Mobiversal and The City of Oradea worked together to bring to life an app
that would improve the relationship with local citizens and reduce bureaucra-
cy. The result is a simple and intuitive app that allows responsible citizens to
report issues such as potholes, stray dogs, streetlight malfunctions, aban-
doned vehicles, leaky pipes, bad parking, and many more. Petitions have a
description, photo, GPS location, and are automatically fed into the City’s
work order system so that they can be tracked and assigned to service teams.
Users can follow the status of their request and receive the solution right in
the app.
In under 3 months since launch, the app has been installed by nearly 3000 citi-
zens who sent over 1600 petitions related to various categories.

Awarded and praised on national tv stations:
“Oradea City Report, entered the OGP Romania
contest, in the section “Best app – Promoting
open data”. The app has been voted online by
1997 people and landed on the first spot.
A jury formed by government and civil society
representatives analyzed all apps that were part
of the contest and decided to give Oradea City
Report the award “Best app in Romania 2014”.
The decision has been made based on the level
transparency they bring and how much they
improve the public services.
“The app that made Oradea unique in the coun-
try. Hundreds of persons reported to authorities
issues that we’re noticed on the street. City of
Oradea can boast having the largest number of
inspectors on the ground. Virtually every resident
who owns a smartphone can send petitions
accompanied by photos and GPS location.”
Original article

held by the Romanian Government. Freely
installed on any smartphone or tablet, Oradea
City Report surpassed six other applications
listed in the contest.”

Case study:
ORADEA
CITY APP
Available on
The City Of Oradea was looking for a new way to offer tourists and people
who are not familiar with the city useful information for a more pleasant stay.
Mobiversal and City Hall representatives worked closely to create an app that
would give tourists easy access to a list of things: events, places to visit,
restaurants, hotels, shops, tourist routes, maps, ATMs, public transportation,
medical institutions, free Wi-Fi hotspots, and many other points of interest
throughout Oradea.
“Travel guide on your smartphone. Oradea City
App provides information on all points of interest
in the city. Hospitals, museums, parks , shops - are
just some of the locations that can be found
easily by locals and tourists from Oradea and
Felix. Oradea City Hall made an application that
can be downloaded and runs on most popular
operating systems for smartphones.”
Original article
“It's simple, has several categories: events,
places to visit, restaurants, hotels, shopping,
tourist routes, public transport and parking. I
think any touristic area from Romania should have
such an application..."

Praised on national tv stations:
Apps for your city
We want to help local governments connect, communicate and engage with
their citizens or tourists. The apps created by Mobiversal transform that rela-
tionship through a variety of valuable features. Pick and choose any or all!
Each app is branded with your City’s logo and colors.
There is a misconception that anything that involves technology and new
mobile solutions is extremely costly and complicated to manage. Naturally,
the final value depends on the type of project that is requested and if it
involves many unique features and customizations.
Mobiversal builds mobile applications that improve the urban experience,
connect people, and make cities more fun, fair, vibrant, and sustainable
places.
