Village App
The Municipality of Opsterland is offering a grant to villages to participate in the Dorpsapp. Through the Dorpsapp, residents can receive news, event announcements, and important information from their village directly on their phones.
Village App
The Dorpsapp was created in response to the need of several villages in Fryslân to reach their residents quickly and easily. The Beetsterzwaag/Olterterp Local Interest Group brought the app to the municipality’s attention.
With the Dorpsapp, the municipality aims to adapt to the way residents receive information these days—namely, via their phones. This way, news about roadwork, events, and other developments, for example, reaches residents directly. Clubs and organizations can also use the app to inform residents about their activities and news. The app is available for free download from the App Store.

Join Dorpsapp
Villages interested in the Village App can take the initiative themselves. The municipality supports villages that want to get started with this and provides grants for this purpose. Through this initiative, the municipality aims to further strengthen communication between residents, associations, volunteer organizations, and the municipality. For more information, please contact the village team.
Inform
The municipality will use the Dorpsapp as an additional way to provide residents with information quickly and directly. This makes us the first municipality to use the Dorpsapp for municipal communications as well. Through the app, residents can receive news, event announcements, and important information from their village directly on their phones.
