Tim Marschang, one of its founders and art hunter, told the newspaper Traveler.es., the purpose of this application is: "We try to document all the street art in the world, so we will not stop until we achieve it. Right now you can explore street art in major cities such as Berlin, New York, Montreal, Medellin, Paris, Melbourne, but also lesser-known cities like Bañeza, Waterford, Lecce, to name just a few. "
