Bribespot: Reporting Corruption Via Mobile App and Map

Posted by MelissaUlbricht on Aug 29, 2011

Bribespot is a mobile app for Android that allows people to submit reports of corruption and bribes. People can also submit reports on a website and instances are plotted on a map using Google maps API. 

In March 2011, Artas Bartas and a team of people from Estonia, Finland, and Lithuania developed the app at Garage48, an event where participants try to pitch and develop an app within 48 hours. Bartas is familiar with issues of corruption; prior to Bribespot, he worked for the UN development program coordinating anti-corruption projects. And, unfortunately, there is demand for an app like Bribespot.

The app has been downloaded 600 times. On the site, about 700 total reports have been submitted and visualized, from around the world.
