3. Case Study
SassoMobile is an app developed by the Public
SassoMobile Administration of Sasso Marconi (14.000
inhabitants) using map2app. One single person
working at the tourist information desk created
this app in less than one week and the app had
thousands of downloads in the first week (iPhone
+ Android). The app features standard categories
such as monuments and restaurants as well as
custom categories such as “rural churches” and
others. Most of the content feature also an audio
and SassoMobile is today the official audioguide
of the city, available to anyone for free.
Total cost of the project: below 2.000€

more than 60 apps for amazing
locations that before could not
afford the development of an app .
Here at map2app we work with the
aim of allowing any city, town and

at minimum cost.
