Snap Send Solve is designed to help you quickly and easily report issues and provide feedback to your local council (Australia only).
Snap Send Solve uses your GPS to determine your location and work out which council you are in. Once determined the server sends back all relevant council details, including contact information, location, and email contact.
You can use Snap Send Solve to easily capture and report on common issues including Litter, Hard waste, Parking, Street Cleaning, Trees, Noise, and also use the app to provide a general request or general feedback. Your reports can be via email, or you can call the council directly.
Please note at this stage Snap Send Solve will only work in Australia.

Wondering how iphone app. .. Wondering how an iphone app runs on an android phone. When you view the info screen, first thing you see is, I'm running an iphone app. Come on. Poor attention to detail. Just use the words Your phone, if you can't be bothered to write 2 different info screens for the different os systems! ! Duh! ! Low rating to start for slack attention to detail and because I'm not the first to have to mention this.
Broken, battery drainer. Tried to use it for the first time to report but it can not locate the council details, forever requesting GPS location and will not stop until it is force closed, which then managed to delete my report and photo that I had saved. Pretty much useless until fixed.
Great idea Love the one-of-a-kind idea, app does need to loose the "take a picture using you iPhone..." Style - a bit more attention to detail wouldnt go astray! Android fans hate reading that! Also adding more than a single snap for those situations where problems are more panoramic or spread out would be great. LOVE the concept though
Developer listens as long as you explain the problem your experiencing correctly. Update: 22/10/2013 I had recently encountered a problem with the where it wasn't able to find the council details regardless of what tried to fix the problem myself, so I wrote down the problem I was experiencing The developer saw my review and created a patch to solve the problem, which now has been solved. Thank you so much for listening.
Okay....just needs a few things sorted out to be a good app Look. the user interface is a bit boring and a bit of a mess from a fragmentation perspective (let alone UX weird things like you need to hit BACK to finish the notes section), but, despite what people appear to say here it works pretty well. And the concept is a good one. You take a photo. email the council. It is a shame its all email related but I see why that's the case. No one is going to go getting the councils all using the same system. So I think the simplicity of that approach is good. Also, for what it's worth, i can't seem to select my native email client only Gmail and a bunch of non email related apps. (HTC One) to send the email. I think with just a better user interface that's a little more structured for Android, and just some tweaks, this could be solid. This is actually a pretty cool idea. (personally, i'll use it again)
RUBBISH Need to snap send and solve that unless you have location/GPS settings on the app freezes and you can't close it. Should be able to manually add your location. Pretty poor bug.

Simply record the registration, make, colour, model, location, date and time, plus a description of the litter and submit within 7 days of seeing the offence.
The EPA Victoria Report Litter app runs on Android 4.01, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4. Please upgrade if you are using an earlier version of Android.

Best app I have, I use it daily and it's changed the way I see the world.
Emma, VIC
Simply, "Thank you." I am so grateful that you have done all the hard work, so that lazy/tired/child-distracted mothers like me can confidently tell their whining 8 year olds "no, we are not buying that, because the people who will get our money hurt other people and/or animals".
I have always wanted this information but have never had the spare energy to go and find it myself. You have done a brilliant job. Please let me know if you have a panel of testers or proof readers which requires more members, or any other way in which I can contribute to your efforts from home while Miss 8 sleeps. I have been forwarding your "tell a friend" message onto everyone I know who has an Android phone.

AWESOME app!! Thanks guys. I'm a naturopath that tries to educate my patients on the benefits of ethical shopping and living sustainably. Will definitely be recommending this app to my patients. Great work!
Elise, Vic
Thank you big time for this app!! It's so easy to use at the supermarket and clarifies so many of the issues surrounding products and companies, making the weekly shop fit better with my conscience. My kids are also able to look and see if their favourite things are positive or negative and can make their own ethical shopping decisions. Brilliant!!!
