Join the movement to improve the roads we drive on and the neighbourhoods we call home with Stan the App. This innovative app empowers you to become a citizen surveyor, using your smartphone to identify and report potholes.
How it Works:
Stan the App utilises cutting-edge computer vision technology to identify road defects, such as potholes with remarkable accuracy. Once detected, the app automatically geolocates the issue and sends a report. You can view your photos and videos in Report Review and on Stan the Map too. These reports trigger action, ensuring that repairs are addressed promptly.
As a pothole reporter, your contributions, along with those of other users, help to build a comprehensive database of road defects, enabling the prioritisation of repairs effectively.
Why it Matters:
• Safety First: Potholes and other road hazards can cause accidents and damage vehicles. Stan helps keep our roads safe for everyone.
• Community Empowerment: By taking ownership of our neighbourhoods, we can work together to improve the quality of life for everyone.
Join the movement for better roads and neighbourhoods today. Download the community app, Stan, for free and start making a difference.
Together, we can create change.
If you can mount your phone so the camera can see the road you can use this app. Quite accurate in picking up road issues’ after a 30 min drive I’ve often logged over 1000 data points. I’ve knocked a star off as to upload the data after a drive you need to have the app open, would be better if it did this in the background given the amount that is uploaded.
Easy to use!

App is really easy to use and interesting to see how many datapoints are collected. Gradually using the app more however notice that it works better in dry weather conditions to get the best quality data. Would be good to see updates on when reports are made to the local authorities!
Great app addressing a real problem

Great app doing some really interesting work addressing the horrendous issue of potholes in this country. Hopefully it can see councils take more action on addressing the problems with their road networks!
Could be great

Apr 2026 - Love the idea of this app but the fact it will only work if it’s the only active app makes it useless for me as most journeys I take, I need navigation for. It also states the app must be open for reports to upload but they don’t seem to upload at all - not for me anyway. Hopefully upgrades will be made to enable it to run and upload in the background. If that happens it will become a powerful tool in the fight against potholes 🤞
