## Description

Improve Detroit is a utilities app designed to help residents report quality‑of‑life issues to City Hall. It uses your location and offers a quick menu of common problems (potholes, damaged street signs, and more). Uploading a photo helps staff quickly identify the issue, and you can comment on submissions.

You'll be notified as the status changes, keeping you informed from report to resolution, and enabling a cleaner, safer Detroit community.

## Review summary

Users praise the app for timely issue resolution and convenience across many city problems, with helpful staff. However, frequent complaints focus on slow or inconsistent responses, usability gaps, limited department integration, sign-up/credit requirements, and stale information that isn’t updated after fixes.

### Pros

- Timely/responsive resolution of issues (often within 24–48 hours)
- Broad usefulness across many city issues (trash, abatements, dumping, abandoned vehicles)
- Positive staff responsiveness and tangible results
- Convenience of reporting via the app

### Cons

- Slow or inconsistent response with unresolved issues or fading visibility
- Usability/UI problems: not user-friendly; limited categories; reporting flow awkward
- Limited integration with other city departments (e.g., building department) reducing coverage
- Barriers to use: required sign-up and/or credit card info; privacy/charges concerns
- Outdated or stale information where resolved issues remain and lack of re-inspection
