    I think Philly 311 is great it’s a way of connecting you with your city officials. If you need something done in your neighborhood they are the right people to work with for the better of your neighbor and our city. Thank you. London Hamilton
  • Needs a major update

    The use this app on the on regular, but what needs to improve is the updating of request on the app, I get the updates of my request from my email not the app. Getting updates on request on the app would be a big improvement.
  • 👎 Bloody Terrible

    Useless app, just a public method used as a fake tranquilizer towards hazardous requests to get city taken care off but for no effort from any city department. Don't waste your time. Booooo.
  • Useless

    App is unresponsive/slow. Requests sit open for months. What a joke. City of Philadelphia needs to significantly increase investment in 311 to make it a viable service.
  • Buggy

    It is impossible now to submit reports. The app doesn’t get out of its loading screen once the “submit request” is pressed.
    With Philadelphia authorities having a history of ignoring calls/reports etc, one wonders if this is by design.
  • Unresponsive

    The AppLooks and feels like it was made in 1999. Information doesn’t show or is wrong,You can’t get an exact location they end up sending someone a whole block away. Once you start a case they won’t tell you if it’s finished on the app you get an email. The tabs don’t work all the time,And you have to end up shutting down the app and doing everything over again. The app is reflects the quality of Philly 311. When you come to the city and you see how bad it is, that’s because we’re told to contact Philly 311 yeah should be called passing the buck

  • Glitches

    This app use to be great.
    You can now add photos which is great.
    For some reason it doesn’t let you had a complaint.
    I greatly appreciate how 311 responds to the results of the outcome.
    The app needs updates.
  • Shameful.

    This app is an embarrassment. The city should be ashamed. So many problems that arise are brushed off to 311, and both the website and app are barely usable. There is so much brain power in this city, use it for crying out loud.
  • Extremely slow. Requests no longer update

    311 is slow and unhelpful, and it’s very hard to pinpoint your location for certain issues. Would be better if they mapped out items like street lights and parks within the app. Also they push you around to other departments most of the time instead of doing it themselves, or they don’t actually resolve the request. Status and comments no longer update after submission. Disappointing yet not surprising

  • App is fairly glitchy and responses are poor

    I’ve submitted numerous pothole repair requests over the past few years. Many times they are closed without the repair being completed. Why do they have an app where they don’t communicate effectively using it? Looks like they just updated the app recently and now it just spins when I’m trying to view my requests or nearby requests. Also, while there is a map function that puts a pin on the map for a pothole repair, the app only accepts an actual street address not the pin location. So, if there is no building near the pothole , you can’t submit the request. Makes no sense. Update: 12Nov20. No change! Still awful. Doesn’t load properly.
