### 2/5 — Little more that a set of links you can find elsewhere

*2022-03-30*

This app could be so much more and it’s aims seem much higher than its current form. As it is, it seems to be little more than a collection of links to existing information / online forms and I’m not sure what this is for. I feel there is much more that could be done eg to report something allow sharing the device location, use the camera etc. The interface is also inconsistent. Sometimes pressing back causes pages to slide to the left, other times to the right, and what is the hamburger menu for? When I invoke it, all I get is a button “back to apps” which takes me to a white screen. The interface feels cluttered yet also somehow information sparse. Was this tested? Was it drawn in PowerPoint and never revisited?

### 5/5 — Really Good

*2021-12-10*

Soo pleased to have a resource like this keeping us safe in our region.
