Greater Manchester Police

Crap app!! :-S

Never had an issue until this week. All the appeals section is not loading. Cannot connect to server. All other sections OK. Uninstalled and then installed again to see if that would help...it didn't. Any other suggestions? I use this app daily & find it useful.

This is a great app but the latest appeals section has gone off other than that brilliant app

They.met.use.them. Not.sure.

The update today has fixed all the FC's and icons/picture issues.

:-)

Something about lipstick and a pig. A material update has arrived. Nav drawer is unnecessary and badly ordered. Dialog bottom padding is a particular irritant. The barely asynchronous image loading is terrible - the lists stop scrolling when a new image is loading. This is a regression on the old app. Looks like the map is still a webview. The devs seem to be facing in the right direction, but haven't travelled very far yet. Still two stars.

Informative

Really Useful and Informative

The update appears to have fixed the navigation issues and the crashing, along with maps now working. Unfortunately the map is still the web version and not the native maps that would look better and perform better. The app is still needlessly ugly.

Maps feature unavailable. Hit "Around you now" gets me in the middle of the Atlantic! Nice idea, but just as the force, it doesn't work very well.

So good

Good job

I'm not sure why the app has been slatted . I have used on both ipad and now android and ive had no crashes and the interface is smooth and fast. Perhaps it depends on the handset its on but on the s4 its awsome. Well done GMP

The Policemen Plods Own App! I first tried this tonight and with excellent linked feeds I quickly sprang from GMP to The Home Office - Benefits Checker - Cyber & Fraud - UK Parliament - Lord Blair (ex MET Crime Commissioner) @ Consumer Affairs! Wow V Impressive! The 'Boys & Girls In Blue' are real pros at putting together the most impressive app - with V far-reaching tentacles! Just a thought .... They could make a 'mint' by continuing to design more excellent apps for a small fee! Love It From INGRID LARSS

Absolute rubbish it won't let me enter my postcode, it keeps saying I need a data connection even though i have it turned on. It also won't work with a WiFi connection.

This app has a long way to go in terms of usability - and utility. Usability examples (I'm not working for free!) - no pinch zoom on map, long-pressing on Appeals and other markers futile, got to use the lists instead - resulted in saying no data connection, despite mobile Internet connection working fine! Same out-of-date data as on website, co-ordinates not precise as in crime mapping data, will not enable any people policing - themselves or anybody else - as Sir Robert Peel intended. Which brings me to - utility. Local Team? I want to be able to run to that team, in a breath. Let's be real, that's what people think they're signing up for by downloading this app - thay want to participate. Bring back the old Divisional Area Operations and give each of THEM a live Android feed, with proper infrastructure for FWINS being public but anon, then we'd have citizen Policing! I'm sat in the Force Area, long history of working with GMP in a voluntary, positive fashion - but I still have no idea why India 99 is flying over my head right now. Shall I don my stab vest and shield? Or sit on my hands? Neighbourhood don't mean what it used to, as the Americans would say. Sorry to be blunt!

Keeps you simply updated on what's happening in your local area.

Crap app!! :-S

Great app

The idea of the app is good but it's a poor job, especially with the 'what's going on around you' as whenever I try to zoom in it moves me to the other side of the world... I hope this want paid for by tax payers money :O

Good little app. Very neighbourhood based though. Where are your senior officers and response teams? Could do with an icon to let us know a page is loading

This should never have gotten through testing. The design is terrible and poorly implemented and it crashes frequently. The app appears to have been designed and implemented by someone who has never done Android development before. Be careful what you touch on the screen (there is no feedback to indicate you have pressed anything), as it may just start dialling the police. Good try, GMP, next time hire an Android development team, rather than thinking your in-house web designers can handle it.

Great little app, gives you all the information you need and more about Police and Policing within Greater Manchester

Whatever I press it helpfully tells me I need a data connection. Can't think how I am posting on here without one....... Not user friendly and seems to think I live in the middle of the Atlantic ocean.

GMP this app is rubbish. Local stuff took me to off the coast of Canada! Please sort all bugs out. Neighbourhood teams represented not by photos but by music icons? ????

A decent little app. A little slow on the move but does exactly as it says on the tin. Worth a download if not to see what's going on.
