The city of Valdosta, located in the state of Georgia, has launched a brand new civic service app that is designed to make it easier than ever for citizens to report non-emergency issues.
Called Valdosta Click 'N Fix, the app allows residents to request service if they encounter things such as potholes, damaged signs or other things that need attention. The app makes use of GPS technology to detect your location, before offering you a menu of service requests to select form.
