WDI DataFinder
The World Bank recently launched an awesome new open data initiative that opens its database to anyone with an internet connection. This app was recently launched and there are some bugs that need to be fixed so for the moment this app does not work properly. However – it is on this list as a “must watch” app because once fixed it will enable people to access important data via their iPhone. The goal of the open data initiative is to provide data so anyone in the world can use the data to help solve global challenges. Our friends at the World Bank have let us know they are working on the fix as we speak. Stay tuned – we will update this note as soon as the app is fixed.
