### 1/5 — Lots of bugs - awful app

*2025-09-13*

App is slow and half the time reported concerns do not go through.

### 5/5 — Love the ease of use!

*2025-07-10*

So easy to use. Wish my old town had this!

### 1/5 — The worse app

*2025-05-05*

This app is not only confusing- it gets stuck- unable to add info- adding photos is difficult- worthless to get the concerns to my city !

### 2/5 — Freezing when uploading 3 pictures

*2024-08-15*

I tried uploading 3 picture in my report a concern. Only one got uploaded and then it kept spinning. I tried uploading 2 pictures and it froze again. It did take all 3 reports with only one picture. But the only way to unfreeze the program was with the back button. 

After trying 3 times I noticed I had 3 reports in the system, but I only received one email.

### 3/5 — Maybe add editing ability?

*2024-03-12*

It would be nice if there was a way to edit a submission after submitting it, like to correct something or to add more photos.

### 2/5 — Back button doesn’t function!

*2024-01-14*

When looking at “Concerns” the back button doesn’t always work, I’ve reported this in the past and it’s a little better but isn’t fixed. 
Not sure why it can’t be fixed, maybe laziness by the software writers! It’s an inconvenience having to close the app and then rep-open.

### 1/5 — Wrong location

*2023-07-08*

The app doesn’t report the location correctly.

### 1/5 — Back navigation STILL not repaired

*2022-07-07, version 2.1.7*

Back navigation still not working on this app!
Makes it unusable.

### 5/5 — Makes complaints so much easier

*2022-06-24*

When I see an issue, I can quickly whip out my phone and report it to my town.  Very simple and easy.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2022-06-24*

Very easy and simple, it’s been a long time using this app and it never failed me.
