## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Opening document freezers app

*2026-06-02*

When trying to download any documents the app freezers, the only option is to close the app.

### 1/5 — Keeps hanging.

*2026-05-30*

After opening the first document, trying to do anything with that or open another doc hangs the app. Useless.

### 1/5 — Pretty useless

*2024-05-23*

Could do with some means to get to the details of the DA

### 1/5 — In map pins not it right spot

*2023-05-24*

Canberra in the southern hemisphere has coordinates with a negative for Latitude, a large number of DA pins reside in the northern hemisphere as there is no QA/QC for the spatial component. 
= Lots of EIS assessments missing from the map.

### 1/5 — Unhelpful

*2022-10-24*

Where is the DA? I have a notification letter, so I know the DA number exists. Never showed up once on the list during the public representation period. Utterly unhelpful for people trying to make genuine effort to inspect the DA and make appropriate comments.

### 1/5 — Absolute useless App

*2020-10-07*

We have applied for DA for few months now and we received various email regarding the progress of our application but can’t see or track the application on this App.

### 1/5 — Why is this an app?

*2020-08-28*

Just put it on your website and allow people to search DAs by address/proximity.

### 1/5 — A remarkable achievement

*2019-08-27*

Congratulations to the ACT Government on a first: an app that is totally useless, and doesn’t work at all.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2017-11-30*

Doesn’t find ANY DAs at all.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2017-02-01*

Crashes at start up, won't open. Restarted phone and still not working.

## Most praised reviews (2 highest-rated)

### 2/5 — Block and Section

*2024-06-05*

Please make a feature to allow the map to show Block and Sections

### 2/5 — Crashes at startup

*2017-01-27*

Nice idea and used to work well, but now crashes when loading.
