Based on Google Play, Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) released a new Android Application and was recently updated last October 7, 2014 named �MMDA Accident Alerts�.The said app is able to update users of traffic, road accidents and flood situations on the major roads of Metro Manila though a clear distinction was not stated from the MMDA�s original and primary released app which is the �MMDA for Android�.
Upon looking at the capabilities and display of the application, it�s more like the difference between the two could be distinguished base on the way of reporting. The primary application displays more of a road map and its current situation while the newly released �MMDA Accident Alerts� has an option to display the maps while in different tabs, it presents a notification like update and a Twitter connected list of updates.
The major roads that will be covered by this app will be EDSA, Commonwealth, Quezon Ave., Espa�a, C5, Ortigas, Marcos Highway, Roxas blvd., SLEX and NLEX.
In its current status, the app now reached 1,000 - 5,000 downloads but has only received 17 reviews resulting to a current star rating of 4.3. The app also claims to update the users about road re-blockings which was displayed like notifications inside the app.
The information supplied by the app was said to originate from the MMDA�s network and was gathered through their Closed Circuit Television cameras (CCTV) and through the MMDA�s personnel reports.
An iOS version has yet to be released though a specific date hasn�t been announced.
