How do I get it?

When I use the app for the first time, why does it ask for my personal details?

These details are stored on your phone only and are used when you report an issue.

Will the app work when I have no mobile network reception or Wifi?

No, not unless you are constantly submitting issues with large photos attached. Use Wifi if available to reduce the mobile network traffic when using the app.

Why do some issues in Report It tell me to call a phone number?

Some issues, such as dangerous animals, are more urgent and need a quicker response than others, such as graffiti.

Can I use a photo that I have taken previously when reporting an issue?

Yes – you can choose to either take a photo or use one from a film roll or gallery when reporting an issue.

Can the app use my phone’s GPS to report the location when I am submitting an issue?

Yes, the GPS must be turned on and you can tell the app to ‘Use Current Location’. Always check the location when doing this because sometimes the GPS isn’t completely accurate.

How do I set a reminder to put my bins out?

Under Waste Services, select Waste Collection Days, set your address and scroll down the page. At the bottom you can set a time and switch ‘Notify Me’ on.
