Doesn’t work

Address fields in report section never populate on IOS so I can never submit the form and end up having to call 311

Don’t bother installing

Not only is the app full of glitches, but the city itself doesn’t action tickets in a timely manner. I’ve uninstalled the app and just report via telephone

So buggy

I don't understand how this app can be so buggy after years. I could've written a decent replacement by myself in 6 months, probably at a fraction the cost of what has been spent developing it. Regularly fails to even load pages while navigating the app. The worst part is that being an app for the city it should be open source, and I would've submitted bugfixes for free - how in the world can an app for the public good like this be closed source?

Garbage App

Barely functional. Constant crashes and freezing.

Shame

It’s really a shame that we pay our taxes and get an app like that. Zero improvements over the last 5 years. Went downhill especially for the report submission - frequent bugs with blank reloads, easier just to do on the web. Sad that this is really the best city can do

App Has Gone Downhill

City of Ottawa please fix your app - it is impossible to submit reports. The interface is broken when trying to use the map function, or to sign in, the max photo size is small compared to average photo sizes today, and this is a really a critical tool of reporting issues to the city!! Please fix this app that used to function better.

Useless now

This app was very useful for reporting parking issues, but since the beginning of the pandemic, it just sits while submitting, before erroring out with a useless error message (“An error has occurred” - as a developer, this type of error message makes me furious!). As a result, the city call centre is stuck handling the calls, adding to wait times.

Unnecessary notifications

I installed this app to get winter parking ban notifications and turned all other notifications off, but I still get them anyway. It’s annoying so I’ll stick with email notices.

Terrible app

Such a promising app that hasn’t been updated by the city in over a year, you guys can do better then this. It’s 2020 we should have a working app for the city at this point.

Bugs

Still many bugs with this app. Often am unable to report bi-law issues using the app.

Keeps crashing

I’ve tried a few time to submit a ticket and the app crashes every time

So useful

Reporting things to the city has never been easier. Well done!

Amazing

I reported a pothole at 10:04pm and it was received literally 5 min later. You can choose to also report it to your councillor.
