Made by a human

Hi, I'm Iván

I make small apps to solve big problems. Or maybe they're not that big, but they're the kind that bug you if you got up a bit grumpy that day. Maybe they're not even problems, just more efficient ways of doing something.

The story

Why I made Fuentes de Madrid

Madrid gets pretty hot in summer, so if you want to stay hydrated you have three options: don't, carry a water tank around with you (if you can lug 30 kg on your walks), or make the most of the city's great drinking fountains. If you can find them, that is.

There are plenty of fountains, but some are well hidden. There are official resources for finding them too, but I'd rather die of thirst than use them, because they don't work very well. So I chose to build my own app to find fountains in Madrid easily, right from my phone.

Before heading out

A few things to know.

Is this an official City Council app?

No. It is an independent app by Iván Ramírez using Madrid City Council open data. User contributions are shown separately.

Do I need to sign up?

No account is needed to find fountains, save favorites or use the app.

Which permissions does it need?

Location helps find nearby fountains and guide you. Camera access is used for the optional camera view. You can use the app without these permissions, with some features limited, and change them in Android settings.

Are all fountains working?

Not always. Municipal data and reports can take time to reflect changes. Filter by listed operating status, check ratings and report a broken fountain when you find one.

Does it work offline?

Do not rely on every feature being available offline. Maps, directions and community rating/report synchronization depend on internet services.

How do I delete my data or get help?
