May 18 is deadline to suggest name for town's mobile app

Community Friday, May 15, 2015

 

Miami Lakes is about to launch a new mobile application and residents have been encouraged to submit a catchy name for the app with the chance to winning dinner for two at Shula’s Steakhouse.

Mobile app name ideas may be submitted to Jackie Calzadilla at CalzadillaJ@miamilakes-fl.gov not later than Monday, May 18.

The new award-winning mobile app, proposed by Councilmember Tony Lama, can be used on iOS, Android, Blackberry and Windows phones.

The system will allow residents to submit requests and access critical government information via a number of methods including web, native smartphone applications, SMS text messaging, and a toll free hotline. Once a request is submitted, residents will be able to view and track the request for updates, as well as provide additional information and feedback.

With this app, the Town looks to boost citizen interaction, improve efficiency, and help increase response times for resident and business requests.
