Two Apps You Should Have


If you live/work/play in Baltimore City, then these two apps are a must-have for your smartphone!

1.  Baltimore City 311 App
If you see anything from a street light out to a neighbor dumping trash, this app streamlines the process of reporting it.  You can take a picture of the issue, provide a good description, pinpoint it on a map, and easily follow up to see if it's been resolved yet.  If you're just interested in what's going on around town, check out the "Recents" option to see what other people are submitting.  One other thing I love is that you can praise a city employee if you see something good.  Android Marketplace or Apple

2.  Charm City Circulator App
The only feature you need in this app is the bus tracker.  As you can see, it lets you see what buses are coming at a specific stop.  No, no update to include the Green route...and don't even think about trying to use the super low-res map.  Android Marketplace or Apple or the CCC page (for browser use).
