Incredible potential, lackluster execution
The concept was a good one, but the categories of violations available for submission aren’t broken down enough to identify specific details. The drop down menus provide vague choices not always applicable to the violations encountered. There is no guidance in terms of instruction, application, example, expectation, or standard of criteria made available to the user. Communication with the department responsible for addressing issues with the app is poor at best, and enforcement of any horizontal consistency in violation submission is non-existent. There needs to be better communication between all city departments to include public works, graffiti abatement, CPS, SAWS, Railroad, TXDOT, and others. As it stands today, 311 will email the user and have them contact the agency or department directly because the app doesn’t have the capability of accomplishing it automatically. The current set of bugs plaguing the app seem to have overwhelmed and exposed the inability of the team to maintain and resolve issues reported by the user. In a city with a population of 1.56M inhabitants, it’s probably a good thing so few people use the app.
Dear app developer, please improve and update this app before more citizens are driven away.
