Fix My Street and Report That Pothole were black holes for me. Reports that I would usually send directly to my local authority (East Hants DC / Hampshire CC) were never followed-up. They always are when reported directly.

Love Clean Streets didn't use HTTPS so I deleted my account after noticing. I did get some authority replies from that service, but also about half of the reports were ignored.

The web site reporting pages for both the authorities are easy to use and I always get a reply so I won't waste my time with third-party apps again.

To an extent it depends on the local council, I straddle the border between Hull City Council (Hilariously bad) and East Riding of Yorkshire (pretty good).

I report potholes to both councils because I cycle a lot in and around Hull.

Quick example of how bad Hull City Council are, when I signed up online for dealing with council tax, it took them 7 weeks to post me my password..
