HabitApp
HabitApp is an application that can be used both on cell phones and computers and allows citizens to make, anonymously, complaints related to social, economic and environmental problems. Examples of what is sought to be reported through the App are idle properties, evictions, people living on the streets, privatizations of public space, essential public services outages, among others. The creators of HabitApp hope that it will serve to grant vulnerable sectors access to the rights. For this reason, they do not encourage users to report illegal occupations nor street vendors, as they consider these survival strategies, and their visualization would imply more disadvantages to the foresaid sector. The App, created by civil society organizations, geo-references disputes on a map, which, although in 2020 only registers complaints in Buenos Aires, is not territorially limited. In other words, HabitApp can be used in any location.
