Choose your location category, select it via the map or a distance-ordered list and get the details with links, phone numbers, opening hours, and more.
Spread it out! Use common social channels to share the information with people who does not have the App.
Nice compilation of all the OpenData Vienna provides. The sleek designed App is handy for citizens and for tourists.
- Oliver Sommer ojs.atThe most visually appealing and complete implementation of Vienna's OpenData catalogue so far.
- Florian Beer 42dev.eu"If you live in Vienna, this App is incredibly useful. Can't believe it's free! Love the simplicity!
- Thomas Winkler threesixtylabs.comOpen Pins Vienna is a well designed, user-friendly and really useful App. If you need to access the infrastructure of vienna this App is the one to use.
- Gerhard WeningerXOXO WebsolutionsThe App provides an interactive map and a list-based view for the existing locations. The list is ordered by distance to the user which means the closed location is shown on top of the list. The map is self-explanatory and shows you the locations as pins.
We provide existing and new location categories such as police stations, city bike terminals, swimming pools and lots of other locations provided by the open data catalogue of Vienna. You can simply select one of those categories and the locations will be loaded. The loading time depends on the amount of locations provided by the data source.
The detail view of the location shows data provided by the open data catalogue. If for example a phone number or a weblink is given, you can directly call or go to the website. Note: not all locations are provided with the same information.
Not everyone owns an iPhone or a smartphone. So if you want to share location information with "apples" people, you can use Facebbok, Twitter or email to share a phone number or a Google map link with them.
Example: If you want to tell a person in which kindergarden she or he should pick up your boy, you can share location, opening hours, phone numbers or a google map link to help her or him to get there.
We are working hard to roll out an intuitive, bug free and well-featured app with good data quality. Please consider that the data is based on the Open Data Catalogue of Vienna. Therefor we can not promise, as for example, a phone number for every location given.
If you find bugs or have a great idea for a new feature or an enhancement, don't hesitate to contact us through our contact sheet.
The Open Pins Vienna App uses the Vienna Governments Open Data Catalogue together with the inhouse development framework Pins to show all civil/public amenities/buildings in Vienna. By implementing the Pins framework, the app can easily convey all the government published data, in a detailed and user friendly manner. Once installed no data-upgrades will be required by the user - if any new data from the Open Data Catalogue becomes available it will just be added to the existing content by using an easy to handle administration tool.
Based upon the web-based backend of Pins we have developed a tool that "maps" the location metadata from the Gov's Catalogue into the app in map and list forms.
Pins is a location-based Service comprising of a content management system, an API and an iPhone App (Android in working process). Using Pins as the underlying platform enables you to create your own location based service by using a state-of-the-art app solution and hook into the huge app-market channel with a powerful marketing and navigation tool. Users of the framework are able to manage all kinds of content for locations such as comments, pictures and videos, ratings, social sharing and other metadata like opening hours, address and routing information, email, web-links or phone numbers. The user-interface presents 'Locations' to the users in either a dynamic map, a distance-ordered list or an augmented reality based view, which allows users to browse through all the available content.
