Alachua County launches new mobile app for residents

Press release from Alachua County
ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – Alachua County is excited to launch My Alachua County, a new mobile app that delivers timely notifications and information on County services straight to your phone, strengthening our commitment to finding new and effective ways to communicate with residents.
Available for download on both the Apple App Store and Google Play, the free app provides mobile access to commonly used County resources anytime, anywhere.
The app will provide a centralized, easy-to-use platform to stay informed about County news, meetings, events, services, road projects, weather updates, adoptable animals, employment opportunities, and much more.
Users are encouraged to create a profile by tapping the three lines found in the top left corner of the app. This is where residents will also find recent notifications.
“My Alachua County strengthens how we connect with residents by putting important information at their fingertips,” said County Manager Michele Lieberman. “The app supports our ongoing efforts to improve digital communication and ensure residents can easily stay informed and engaged.”

Oh…goody…..does it have a pot hole reporting app?
Apparently, I do not need to be that informed or engaged, I doubt there will be a mugshots section to their site..
Every phone has a Web browser which is perfectly sufficient to access the county’s Web site. This app was a huge waste of our money.
