Need to report a pot hole? There's an app for that!

LONGVIEW, TX (KLTV) - It's aimed at making problems in one East Texas town a lot shorter.

This week, a smart phone app will be available to Longview residents, where your pictures and video could speed up the solutions to problems in the city.

This app is going to change the way folks in Longview see their city.

Starting Wednesday, if you see a problem, you can log on, take a picture or video of it, note your location and send it to the city.

The city wants to hear from you.  but, there's one type of problem the city wants you to handle the old fashioned way. If it's a true emergency, city officials urge citizens to call 911.

The app is already available for download. It's scheduled to be up and running for you to use Wednesday.
