Fill That Hole for Android
App is ok and easy to use, adding the dimensions should be optional, as i am not going to stand there on a busy road measuring the hole, so I just put anything in.
Needs a use my location function urgently. A little 'agricultural' too. Surely there must be some decent app authors on the staff?
Takes too long to find your location. Why not use the photos as evidence of location.
Application simply does not connect to local authority in respect of road repairs.
Makes pothole reporting quick and easy. Adding a 'use my location' button would make sense, and maybe reduce the list of possible sizes to just 5, 10, 20, 30 cm etc, rather than starting with 1, 2, 3. This would require less scrolling. But generally, great app!
I use this app to report potholes and other road defects to the local council. I usually take a photo at the same time to help the council find the problem. The app then gets you to locate the problem on a map, give further information on how to find the problem, and some detail about the actual problem, such as the size. I then get an email confirming the report has been sent, and then get further emails as the council get round to fixing the problem.
You can report a pothole or potholes but none of the ones I've reported have ever been fixed some considerable amount of time after being reported. On that basis, there isn't much point in bothering
It won't let me select a photo from my gallery, and it won't let me choose the location on the map. This means you have to report while you're at the pothole, which is no good when it's raining.
For all your pot hole needs
App is great... No good though if holes don't get filled in.
How do I add a photo I've already taken from my phone album to a report rather than one from the camera at the time of reporting?
Suggestions: have a 'use my location' option. In fact if you take a photo then assume the answer to that is yes! The dimensions settings should be optional or quicker to complete. If you used inches last time assume inches next time. Description shd be optional with a photo.
Easy to use. Simplifies reporting those, increasingly frequent, potholes on our roads. Agree with Giles' suggestions for improvs. Need to be a bit slicker to make it even easier. But overall a good first effort and I glad it is available!
Tag the location, take a photo, fill in a few details and it's done - puts together a pretty detailed report in a few mins from your phone. Much easier than trying to remember the details and put together a report when you get home. Would be good if you could delete a report you'd started but didn't finish (like the one I did to test it out!).

Would be much easier if you could add a photo from gallery rather than having to take it immediately, not helpful when you need stop snap and go
