With Smartphone technology, it’s all about the apps. From weather to banking and social media, you can do just about anything from your phone.

Now, you can even report a pothole with the launch of the “Fill That Hole” iPhone app, which instantly reports potholes.

The iPhone app combines a photograph of a pothole with GPS technology to pinpoint the exact location of the hazard.

Once a report is logged, the relevant local authority is informed so they can quickly inspect and fix it.

Commissioned by Aggregate Industries and CTC, the United Kingdom’s national cyclists’ organization the app reports problem road surfaces via CTC’s popular Web site — www.fillthathole.org.uk — all in less than two minutes.

“Potholes and general poor road maintenance continue to be major gripes of the British public and are areas requiring substantial further investment from the government,” Tom Longland, general manager at Aggregate Industries, said in a written statement.

“The ‘Fill That Hole’ app is designed to put the ball back in the road users’ court, so they can take their own action, report potholes and monitor the response from their local authority.”

Chris Peck, a campaigner at CTC, was injured after cycling over a pothole in 2008. He said: “Potholes are a serious concern for cyclists. We’ve had a number of members end up in hospital after riding over a pothole and nearly 20 percent of cycling crashes amongst CTC members have been caused by road defects. We set up the Fill That Hole website as we want to make it easier for local authorities to find and fix potholes quickly, so fewer people are hurt.”

The Fill That Hole app will work with iPhone models 3G, 3GS and 4, running Apple’s iOS version 3 or version 4. The app is available to download from the Apple App store.
