SeeClickFix 12+

I've been using this app for a few months. It is quite useful for getting those nasty potholes repaired. Like a lot of drivers I travel the same route every day. Always amazed that a road repair crew will just drive by the holes and not fix them. Worse, they'll fix one you report but leave another one five feet away and not fill it. This app makes it more efficient. Enable GPS and then Snap photos with your smartphone. Fill out the form and attach photos. GPS provides specific addresses (in most cases) so the crew can find it, compare to the photo(s) and get 'r done. I like it! Tires,?wheels, tie rods, springs. All that it very expensive to repair. Compared to the cost of fixing some holes this app provides a civic minded way to save yourself and thousands of other drivers costly repairs. Virginia Beach is very good about getting them fixed quickly, there is no reason not to use this app!

I like being able to help our local authorities address problem issues in the community. What I don’t like is when these problems are disbursed to other authorities or departments and are immediately closed. To me, closing means completed. Leave the original call open so the public can follow the process from reporting to finished. This will also help those who are about to report the issue again know that the situation is already in process and they can follothe process too if they desire.

Requires a street address even when I’ve geo-located the problem on my phone, so if the problem is along a park, as they often are, this app tries to put in an address on another nearby street. And the best I can correct this is to manually type in an address of a home adjacent to the park, on the right street but a block away. After having to look up that address in Google Maps.

My municipality has found it necessary to implement about a dozen questions/checks for an issue, and even if I haven’t answered them all (because they are off the screen in the app), the app app still lets me hit Submit, then gives me a big error message in little tiny type. You could say that’s the fault of my city’s implementation, but it still makes this app very difficult and time-consuming to use. I end up standing by the side of the road for 15-20 minutes trying to get it all straight.
