Philly 311 Customer Insights

1. The app is the only way to successfully file reports for places that don't have addresses as calling 311 on the phone they won't accept a report without an "official" address (even if Google gives one).Wish the app would GPS my current location for reports and let me take multiple photos or a video of what I'm reporting on.

2. For some reason you can't take multiple photos for one report and if you take a video it errors now so maybe the app needs some code debugging cause it says I can do video but it doesn't work.Excellent app.

3. No progress, no change, for as long as I leave it on the screen, repeatedly tested for a minute or more.Attention Android users that cannot open the app: try clearing cache and storage and restarting app.

4. I've tried to log issues for the past 2 years, and even today when I try to "Attach Photo" or "Attach file" to an issue I just get an immediate popup that says "Attachment failed." If I hit "Retry" it continues to fail.

5. thinks a recent update by Acella may not be coded correctly for Android phones over a year oldApp crashes a lot, GPS is inaccurate and now app isn't working at all.

6. I have uninstalled and re-installed twice along with clearing the cache and app data to no availThe most recent version of this app crashes immediately upon opening on my Pixel 5.

7. O am afraid the city is using this as data and it is extremely inaccurate.Stopped working on my phone a week ago.

8. I'm an Android user, and yes, I've cleared my cache.Absolute garbage, just like the city and government it pretends to serve.

9. It doesn't work at all, and hasn't worked in quite a long time.

10. When you try an open a message comes up saying whoops, something went wrong.

11. Weirdly however on my other cell phones it downloaded and cease to work just fine.
