Dunwoody Useful Phone Apps

The City of Dunwoody has launched its new New iphone Mobile Background Yearly (NiMBY) just in time for the holidays late December.  The $84,000 project by CivicsMoxy, a Boston firm that tells southern towns what they don't know.  



RoadWork - keep informed on the progress of the Mt Vernon Road / Vermack intersection.  After screwing it up a few times and adding a telephone line pool in the middle of the intersection, the new end date is March 9th, 2022.

Anti-4th - Be aware of those "safety" roadblocks police checks in north Dunwoody.  These pop up once in a while to keep a Dunwoody judge happy.  It's not fair to have these events only in high-crime areas.  

Fake Ice Finder - this is a seasonal app, usually active around Christmas late December.  Don't confuse this app with its sister, Real Ice Finder.  Nothing sounds more like a winter wonderland than skates on a large kitchen cutting board.

Not Your Field - widely popular with baseball teens (only those who identify with He/Him) in surrounding cities.  Not popular in Dunwoody.  Find out when kids from Chamblee, Norcross, Atlanta, Brookhaven, Smyrna, and more are using the Dunwoody taxpayer built fields at Peachtree Middle Prison School.  The app cost only $100 to create, compared to $4 million of Dunwoody taxpayer money spent on fields for girls boys.

Elementary - the most popular app!  Turn on Location Services on your iphone and always know what elementary school attendance zone you are in.  Accurate from Oxford Chase to Bldg 4 at The Lacota.  Great for real estate agents.  Features include hidden trails showing how to walk to Austin from DCFW,  how to get more volunteer hours from those pesky apartment parents, and even tells you what's on the school lunch menu

LostCat - self explaining here.  Help reunite Winnie, Lebron, and others with their owners.  Use this app with CoyoteFinder for the best and worst of the animal kingom.  This same developer is working on Deer-App.  This app will allow you to hire a bow hunter, recipes for backstrap, find fresh road kill, and alert others that a deer ran in front of your car.

Bank - find a bank in Dunwoody

Trash - perfect for the person who has resided in DeKalb for 10 years and still doesn't understand that a holiday means your trash day gets pushed back one full day

Triggered - use this app to report nativity scenes, Menorahs, Santa,  and other religious items you just don't want to look at.

Chef Driven - this app really never worked as initially designed because the chef-driven crap was always a false narrative for Dunwoody Green.  The app now redirects you to Canton Street and Chamblee eateries. No updates planned to this app until 2023 elections.

PublicNoWork - email Dunwoody public works when you see something that needs fixed.  Then delete the app because they will ignore you.

WaterBreak - perfect for reporting waterline breaks on Chamblee Dunwoody Road and elsewhere.  One bonus feature is that it reminds you not to drink the water if the water coming out of your spigot is brown and smells really bad.  Very popular with people using the Trash app

Farmhouse - the first app ever for Dunwoody.  Developed in 1874, long before people even knew what an app was.  Click it and hear old recordings from Nelly Chesnut, Grandma Redfield, Uncle Charlie from the Bannister app, and more.  A hidden button on the app lets you hear "Dinky" and "Old Buck" blow their train whistle to alert Major Dunwoody that a fresh train-car of moonshine and produce was headed into town.

ParkTool School - this app helps your student find a parking spot on a neighborhood (PUBLIC) street.  Has an alarm feature to wake your kid up at 5 AM to get a move on it to the spot!  A newly added feature now helps your kid find a seat in the cafeteria.  

Alarm - Tired of the same old annoying phone alarm?  Now get an early wake up call from Nixel.  Custom messages can warn you when rain is approaching (up to 72 hours in advance), or when the temperature dips below 40 degrees.  

SeeClickSuckIt - Dunwoody's most useless app ever.  See a problem on the road or sidewalk?  Simply click it, and get a reply from the city telling you to suck it.  

Facebook birthdays - It's your birthday and nobody remembered?  Simply log on to Facebook and get a Happy Birthday greeting from local resident(s).  

NextDoor - the Mother of all neighbor apps.  Everything from free worthless giveaways (for people too lazy to use the Trash app), lost pets, reviews from contractors who went out of business five years ago, and warnings about strangers (Amazon delivery drivers) in your 'hood.  This app is a threat to LostCat, DeerFinder, CoyoteFinder, and other animal related apps. Ideal for widows over 85 years old, people with limited grammar skills, and guys who know everything in the world, except that they themselves are idiots.
