Actual garbage

They close every case you open in under five minutes of submitting and do nothing to clean the streets of SF. It’s wild how useless it is and how this city just does not care

Possibly the most useful lightweight app I have at just 25 megabytes! One request…

One request: The ability for a user to close an issue they reported in the SF311 app (currently we have to call to have an issue closed).

Thanks for keeping this app feather-light at just ~25 megabytes. Other apps weigh in at hundreds of megabytes for no good reason. The SF311 app stands above the rest and saves bandwidth.

Keep up the great work!

Just like 311…

Doesn’t work. Nothing happens. No one pays for Muni. The city doesn’t care, then comes crying to us for more money. GFY

Pointless.

I reported a Porsche that blocked the entire sidewalk for weeks, after I had been calling the SFMTA for days. My friend, who is mobility impaired, could not pass the property. Yet neither SFMTA nor this 312 app ever showed up.

I bet they’d have been there right away had it been an unhoused person’s tent, but they don’t bother a rich person’s Porsche. SF’s city government is awful.

Defined categories do not match situation

I use this app frequently and the frustration is that the defined categories from which one is required to choose often do not fit the problem. Choosing something “close” can often result in dispatch of someone unable to address the problem.

error code401

Keep refresh it doesn’t work.

City deletes your submissions

The app is ok. Some of my submissions are addressed. Some stay open for days. However, yesterday I submitted three tickets on my walk, all significant. All showed in the app as open. Then this morning, two are mysteriously gone from the app. Not closed… gone like they never existed.

Too bad

This app has become an exercise in futility. Deleted after several years.

Best way to feel helpful

The city has a lot of cleanup after the pandemic. This is the best way to be a productive citizen and report things should be addressed. It’s easy to use and has made my walks around town somehow more productive and less hopeless.

HORRIBLE APP

NEVER WORKS AND CRASHES 24/7!!!!

Dont provide contact info

Once a user provides contact into and submits requests. Requests never get opened and stay as submitted. Also there is no way to report anonymously because after after signing out because uninstalling when you hit get started the app automatically signs a user back in.

Only could do 5 posts, cannot do more than 5 posts

I submitted 6th post twice, but the post disappeared at second morning. Please fix the problem.

Resident of SF? Get this app.

Takes seconds to report graffiti or trash in street. Frustrating that DPW and others don’t actually close all requests but at least it’s sending data where the problem areas are.

Live in SF? Get this app.

Easy to report graffiti and street cleanups.

Wish it would log/process everything (I.e noise complaints) rather than just referring to another service

New app is a step back

Loses about 1/3 reports I submit. Location manager wirse

New phone = new account?

I got a new phone, and none of my old reports open up. And there is no way to log into the account on the old phone. It is like every time you get a new phone you have to get a new account?

Why bother, the city does nothing

Lately, none of the items submitted are even initially addressed until 3 or more days after the complaint. What’s the point? Who on earth manages the requests? Homeless person shooting up, blocking a fire exit, blocking the entire sidewalk with their junk…. City responds 3 DAYS LATER!!!!! Junk truck parked in front of my home with all its crap for 3 days and doesn’t move….. city has yet to respond 3 days later…. And it has yet to move!!!!! what a joke, this app is nothing more than a waste of storage on my phone with the way in which this city pretends to respond.

Does the job, could be more efficient

Workflow and UI can be streamlined but it does the job. My main use case is asking for local full garbage cans to get emptied. Good to see a new version, but pls do a bit of user testing and you’ll observe users (like me) feeling frustrated about entering the same info several times. Also would be good to have a history cos it’s the same ol’ garbage can most of the time :)
