The revolutionary application designed to allow Barbadians to report public service issues such as potholes, water outages, waste disposal concerns and other community matters directly from their mobile devices went live today.

The app, called Pearly, allows users to submit photos, videos, written descriptions and location data.

Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley says Government invested in the app, developed by local experts, to provide a more efficient way for citizens to share and express their views on matters affecting them personally and within their communities.
