FixMyStreet

Was really good and worked well. My local authority emailed me yesterday saying they no longer accept reports from fixmystreet and all reports must be made on their own page. NO LONGER USABLE

This was useful but no longer allows posts because despite filling out name and title it tells you that Title information is required. So now useless! Using Samsung S7 edge with Android 7.

I used the website few months back when the council took away all the recycling skips in the car park for the 2 high rise flats. I complained every week direct and no help. I put it on here and suddenly the council decided to put 4 blue and 4 black wheelie bins back... Not that that's enough over 450 people but it's something and people are recycling again

Brilliant idea, flawed implementation. Two issues: outdated app, and lack of council involvement. The app feels like something circa 2011. The council's aren't motivated to respond to anything raised through FMS which makes it quite pointless.

Reported dumped mattress in the street. Council came round within 2 hours and picked it up. Impressed.

I have reported things,but no! i still have the same neighbours. lol

I use it to report problems with road signs, graffiti, flytipping and streetlights

Useless. Cannot submit reports as states info is required despite all the fields being completed. Shame, as until a few months ago worked well.

Great App? Very fast and simple to use to report issues in your street to local councils. I recommend everyone down load and use it

Great way to end up in the middle of an argument between a council and a contractor eager to make as many charges for no fault found as possible.

Works well when it works. However, I keep getting a message saying it cannot locate my position when i am anywhere remotely rural which makes it hard to report fly tipping.

Generally good - does what it says on the tin - but a few niggles: it forgets my password so I keep having to re-enter it every time and select for an anonymous submission, and when you try to update an entry, it takes you out of the app and into the website.

This app is rubbish I couldn't even log into it I saw an issue that I wanted to report but had a message about overlay on my phone it's a good idea but I think it needs more work

Easy to use, but please add an option to hide fixed reports or at least show them in a different colour.

Seems to work fine and action being taken on things I've reported. ☺

Cannot be used for Staffordshire County council.

The councils hate this app. So far 3 different Borough councils I have had problems with. One of which will ignore any reports coming in via email from this app as they can't keep up with the work load. One will simply reply saying you need to Contact the relevant department (other words they are exhausted of forwarding the report themselves) and one other not to name bounces emails back and asks for it to be reported on their own site. All in all. This app is a brilliant idea. But depending on which Borough /council the reports will go to depends how they will treat it, credit to a couple of councils whom actually got repairs done within 48 hours!

The idea and basics behind this app is great however things are broken, very broken. It's easy to report problems but difficult to navigate through the app looking at other reported problems.

The only way to get to the main menu is to find a recent problem on the map, press it, only then you get the options to see the main menu. Who wrote the software for this app, they want shooting... I know this is a charity, but come on. The PC version is great, that's what makes this worse.

New update has rendered the app useless. Doesn't work anymore. Can't find location and can't log in...... Update - now seems to be working. Thanks guys.

Seems to work as it should. Would be good if we could add more than 1 image to each complaint. Unless I'm mistaken and you already can.

Very quick update fixing the location issued. Maybe other developers should take note as the bug was fixed around 24 hours after being discovered

New version is now working. From recent reviews, 29/30th April, see a few people reported bugs which were fixed the same day. Well done to the developer.

Great idea but poorly designed and very buggy. New version hangs indefinitely after taking a new photo.

Pointless if the council then emails me to make me redo my report via their own website. So I had to submit 2 reports via 2 platforms.

Asks me to enter a subject when I already have. Asks me to confirm my password but no facility for doing that.

App keeps telling me to use the App next time even though I am using the App at the time. Bit annoying.

A very useful app. The abilities to link photos of the issue, geo-locate it, as well as point to it on a map are all strong features.

With the withdrawal of my local councils reporting option, I have returned to fixmystreet. I know this works

Needs a way to register in the App to be useful. No details of where to register either.

Great app

login, find my location or search.

If you want to report a fault quickly, great. Log in, locate yourself, report. Job done. However, try to view other faults locally and it all falls apart. On opening the app you can view the map, select a fault and view it. There it ends. You can't go back to the map and select another. The map view doesn't appear in the menu. The back button doesn't work. Oh, and you can't exit - you have to minims then kill in your app manager. Shame. So much potential.

Now you have to take photos beforehand as the attach image stage crashes when taking photo - Moto E LTE. Please fix! Works on Nexus 7 but then I have to hotspot to use it...

Would give tbis 2.5 stars. Map doesn't always load, or freezes, even through WiFi, so frustrating, especially when out & about & just want to report something quickly: thought that was the point the of it! Quicker to phone my local council! As others have said you can't go back e.g. to view other reports. Also, I've received confirmation emails from local council but the subject isn't what I've reported, e.g. I reported litter bins overflowing or flytipping & confirmation email says noise nuisance.

Would be a great app if council took any notice of the complaints! Have rubbish been left for months now rat food, have mould on ceiling inside block of flats which a council ' worker ' wiped with a cloth a year or so ago saying that's fixed it! Need roof looking at to find where damp coming from because starting to intrude inside flat now aswell!!! IF YOU GET COUNCILS TO LISTEN & DO WORK WOULD BE GREAT THEN WOULDN'T FEEL LIKE LIVING IN A SLUM AREA! NORTHAMPTON BOROUGH COUNCIL SHAME ON YOU, DON'T LIE JUST DO JOBS!!!

Made two reports and neither was acted on.

Wow, this app is really painful to use. Runs really slowly on Nexus 5, maps are some kind of website with slow scrolling (not using Google maps). App needs to be rewritten!

But the app could use updating, it's a bit rough around the edges
