Description

Humanitarian organizations can't help people if they can't find them. MapSwipe is a mobile app that lets you search satellite imagery to help put the world's most vulnerable people on the map.

In MapSwipe, developed in collaboration with the Missing Maps project, users choose a crisis prone part of the world they want to help, such as spotting villages at risk from a cholera outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. They must then swipe through satellite images of the region, tapping the screen when they see features they’re looking for including settlements, roads and rivers.
This information is fed back to mappers who need this information to build detailed and useful maps. At present, they have to spend days scrolling through thousands of images of uninhabited forest or scrubland looking for communities that need mapping. Now, members of the public can directly contribute to MSF’s medical activities by locating people in need more quickly so mappers, and ultimately medical professionals on the ground, can get straight to work.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew

3 ★Would have rated 5 but like other reviews it has stopped loading maps, tried bug fix but no change about to uninstall, pity cos I liked feeling I was doing something useful!
3 ★Great idea but the interface is somewhat dated and there seems to be quite a few bugs left. I hardly ever get to map after downloading tiles. These seem to just vanish.
5 ★Good implementation. Could use a more granular approach to swiping. So half way done would could for example.
5 ★Amazing! Instead of just wasting time on my phone, I can actually do some good in the world!
4 ★My first review was cut off for some reason, so here it is again. 1- show lat/lon of imagery on each screen, so I can use the web to check details if I'm not so sure on the app 2- quick and easy way to mark all 6 tiles as bad imagery, e.g. tap once to select all tiles, tap again to mark as bad and tap once again to confirm. That's 3 taps instead of 18 taps I have to do right now, and there are many instances of full cloud cover on Colombia region. 3- show on summary a list of projects that each user worked on, the no of kms covered and no of objects found per project. This helps users motivated to help in further projects. Right now, all we get is a summary. Simply showing the Level alone is not sufficient; what does a Level 10 compared to Level 8, for example. 4- On my 8" Android tablet, holding down on a square is supposed to show a magnified image of that square but what it actually show is no bigger or better resolution than the normal square. The magnified square looks better on iPhone or Androne phone but not on the tablet.
5 ★I uninstalled and reinstalled through Google play to fix this error.
4 ★UI is a little difficult at times - especially long pressing to zoom on tiles but otherwise such a beautiful use of people's spare time!
5 ★Helping cure malaria while on the bus, much better than candy crush
3 ★Zoom feature never worked on my Samsung tablet. Maps no longer load. There is a feature to contact mapswipe, but nobody responds.
5 ★Brilliant app! Good tutorials and a great opportunity for us to do something useful when we have a few moments to spare.
5 ★A simple way to contribute to a great organization. The app provides multiple offline options to work, and is simple to figure out.
3 ★Maps fail to load on a regular basis
