The government made the app available to the public at the end of last year, and during the last four months it has already been downloaded by 1 million users and has been used a staggering 25 million times.
Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff took to Twitter recently to announce that the number of stolen vehicles found with the help of the app has reached 33,000.
