ACTnow app for iPhone and iPad

In our experience with overcoming community problems and now a pandemic, ACTnow app was set up to protect and serve the public interest. This calls for active participation from the people, local councils, and authorities on matters regarding community wellbeing and consumer protection.

To achieve that, the ACTnow app has a built-in multi-language translator to make open communication possible for all, where everyone can keep each other updated with community issues at the national and international level.

Malaysia is the first country to run the ACTnow app nationwide with access to 155 local councils including DBKL, MPPJ, MPJB, and MPPP. Its GPS tracking feature identifies the location from where a user is reporting an issue in real-time, which then auto-detects the respective local council.

Community issues (e.g. uncollected rubbish, illegal dumpsites, unhygienic outlets, unlicensed businesses, illegal building structures, etc.) are under the jurisdiction of local councils. Take photos or record a video of the issue via the ACTnow app, or comment on issues highlighted by other users.

We believe everyone has the potential to be a changemaker to empower the nation and ACTnow can help. We wish to establish our presence in other countries so that our app can benefit more local communities everywhere. Contact us to find out about collaboration/partnership/sponsorship opportunities.

Our Purpose – To make information sharing on community issues a hassle-free experience, involving the participation of local councils and authorities in the ‘sharing’ process.

Our Mission – ACTnow is here to assist and stay connected with all communities.
