Ratings and Reviews
Very easy to use
This app is a very convenient way to upload documents to the department of social services. Much easier than having to go to the department and submit them, which for people without transportation is a very big issue. My only suggestion would be to allow the submission of screenshots. Sometimes the information that you need to submit is in an app on your phone, and the taking of live shots requires either printing out the item and taking a photo or downloading the app onto a second device to take a photo of the original device. Not everyone has access to a printer or a second device.
Uploading documents
This process seems easy enough, however if I have a quick question, there’s no option for a ‘chat message’. This option would save multiple time and resources in lieu of a phone call. The phone call issue to speak with a person is brutal (for all involved). I understand the office is very busy, but often it’s just a ‘quick’ question. I always appreciate the assistance from the office but often feel my simple question or a confirmation of something was a waste of their valuable time.
NYDOCSUBMIT App effectiveness
App is good save you a trip to the agency or having to mail all these docs in paper through mail. but I had to submit some docs that I already had on my pictures file or I downloaded from a web server and I couldn’t submit them . App doesn’t allow to browse on your phone file or picture files , you have to take live pictures of every doc you are submitting - nowadays a lot of things are paperless you go to the website and download a doc if you don’t have printer at home you need to go to library and print all paper doc then scan them to the app. Maybe update for the future will save a lot time and effort .
