Locals looking to interact with the city more efficiently will be thrilled to hear that the Ask Arlington app has been updated, boasting a suite of new features and improvements. Public service accessibility just went digital in Arlington, as the city unveils a revamped app dedicated to streamlining processes ranging from reporting potholes to requesting city services, now available in both English and Spanish, according to the City of Arlington.
The fresh iteration of the app garners praise for its user-friendly interface, designed with direct feedback from the community. Residents can access a variety of services directly from their smartphones, including submitting requests right from their smartphones. Users can now also track their requests in real-time, to watch as the city addresses their civic concerns. However, Android users must note, that they will need to delete the older version of the app before they can embrace the sleek functionality of the new one.
As of yesterday, the revisited Ask Arlington app is available for both iOS and Android devices. Apple aficionados can simply update their existing app to migrate to the new version, while Android enthusiasts are instructed to seek out the new app on the Google Play Store, following a deletion of the prior version.
New users are encouraged to download this digital entry point to city engagement from either the Apple App Store or Google Play. Despite the ease of a traditional update for Apple users, a new account will be necessary for anyone wishing to use the app, to track the status of their inquiries and maintenance requests. This requirement stands as a small threshold to cross for a greater connection with the city's workings.
