With GovAlert, I can report a concern and carry on with my day! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lots of bugs - awful app *2025-09-13* App is slow and half the time reported concerns do not go through. ### 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 ! ### 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. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-09-22* I tried to make a report but, as the other poster mentioned, it didn’t work. Seemed to lock in transmitting mode. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work at all *2018-05-13* I tried using the app, but it doesn’t seem to actually do anything. All it does is show a map with a pushpin and when you try to click on Report a Concern, it just spins and spins and nothing happens. ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Location issue and photo limit *2021-03-03* Unfortunately, the app does not seem to allow manual updating of the location. It placed me at the wrong location and I over typed with the correct location but it ignored what I typed and put in a different location. This maybe fine in a city with dense cellular coverage but not in suburban or rural areas. It also only allows a single picture to be uploaded. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the ease of use! *2025-07-10* So easy to use. Wish my old town had this! ### 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. ### 5/5 — Convenient Reporting! *2022-06-24* Use of this app had made reporting code concerns easy as possible. I can mark the location and keep track of the progress with ease. No need to call my town office and wait on hold all day… ### 5/5 — Very useful App *2022-06-24* Very easy to report complaints to my local municipality. ### 5/5 — Easy to use *2020-08-19* Makes reporting problems around town so much easier to keep everyone safe! ### 5/5 — Simple Easy To Use *2020-08-19* Easy to use. Practical! ### 5/5 — Super fast *2020-07-30* Wow, super easy to report a concern. I really like how it took my to my location so I could quickly put in the concern with my contact details. Any communication with the city should be like this. ### 5/5 — Easy and Effective *2020-05-13* A street sign fell over on my property after a week of rain. Instead of calling the DPW office at my town and waiting on hold, I just fired up the GovAlert app, posted a pic of the downed sign and geotagged its location. It took less than a minute! A crew came the next day to fix the sign! ### 5/5 — Avoid being put on hold! *2016-12-06* Anytime I've had to report a concern in my town, I've had to call, be put on hold multiple times, be connected to another person (who I have to re-tell my concern to) and it seemed like nobody knew who I needed to talk to...very frustrating. GovAlert makes it SO easy to report a concern to the correct person without looking up phone numbers and being put on hold!
