### 5/5 — الحمد لله على تيسيره لنا

*2015-12-26, version 5.0*

تطبيق أكثر من رائع اكتشفته اليوم..
مفيد جداً لمن يفهم ويقدر ويبحث عن معلومات المواقع وبيانات المباني في قطر..
ادهشني كم المعلومات الموجودة مثل توفر البيانات المتعلقة بأي مبنى  كـ رقم الكهرباء، الماء، اوريدو..
وأيضاً من خلال الخريطة تستطيع التعرف على رقم المنطقة والشارع والمبنى(كنت أبحث عن هذه الخاصية ووجدتها في هذا التطبيق)
يعطيكم العافية.. وفعلاً عمل وافي.. وجهد موفّق تشكرون عليه
