Pothole Season app perfect for this years pothole season

March 21st, 2012

Potholes we are the unfortunate things that show up when the snow melts. Well this year there is a high tech way to take it on, in Canada.

Its a free app called pothole season. And it’s pretty cool. You either walk around or drive along and your iPhone/iPads accelerometer/gps picks up the potholes. You can then use the app to report it to your city/county. That’s pretty neat.

Hopefully lots of people use the app to tackle the potholes.
