About Potholes.app

A public map for streets that keep breaking.

Potholes.app is a Pune-first reporting tool for potholes and other road hazards. Citizens add a photo and a pin. The map stays public so neighbours can confirm what is still there and what has been repaired.

01Open the map on the web. The Android app is in closed testing and the iOS app is in development. Browse as a guest if you only want to look.
02Sign in to report. Google is the fastest path: we only ask for your name, email, and profile photo to create your session.
03Pin the hazard, add photos, and choose whether the report shows your name or stays anonymous on the map.

Rain-filled pothole on a tree-lined Pune neighbourhood road

Independent, not a government app

Potholes.app is a private civic product. It is not affiliated with, authorised by, or a substitute for the Pune Municipal Corporation, Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, PMRDA, the Government of Maharashtra, or PMC’s Road Mitra / PMC CARE portals. Official complaints and 72-hour repair SLAs belong on those government channels. We show sitting office-holders from published rolls so you can see who represents a pin; that is public information, not a government service.

What you can do

Report potholes, broken patches, open manholes, and similar road hazards with a photo and GPS pin. Follow status on the map. Confirm whether a hazard is still there. Browse by neighbourhood. This is a civic reporting tool, not emergency dispatch. For an immediate threat, contact local emergency services.

Google sign-in

Continue with Google uses only the basic sign-in scopes: openid, email, and profile. Google sends us your account id, email address, name, and profile photo so we can create or resume a Potholes.app session through Supabase Auth. We do not request Gmail, Drive, Contacts, or any other Google data. Details are in the Privacy Policy.

Location

Your live location is read on this device to centre the map and help you drop a pin. We keep the last pin locally so the map can reopen on you instead of jumping to Pune city centre. We do not use location for advertising, resale, or a movement history. Coordinates reach our servers only as the pin on a report you submit, where they describe the hazard, not you, and, if you turn on nearby alerts, as an area rounded to about 1 km so we can warn you about hazards near you.

Public representatives

Sitting MLAs shown in the app are taken from the Maharashtra Legislature Assembly roll (notified November 2024). PMC and PCMC mayors, deputy mayors, and ward corporators follow the January 2026 civic elections (poll 15 January, count 16 January). Constituency matching uses the official polygon for the pin where we have one. WhatsApp opens a chat to a public office number when that number was published by the representative’s office or a news report of an official helpline; otherwise it opens a draft you send yourself. We do not scrape private phone books. Names and offices of elected representatives are already public. Use the official grievance portal for a government filing.

Guides
