City launches free mobile app for residents

The city of Jonesboro has launched OneJonesboro – a free mobile app that empowers residents to easily report non-emergency issues located within the city limits of Jonesboro. It also provides on-the-go access to the latest city news and information.

In a matter of minutes, the app allows users to submit a description, picture and location of a city neighborhood issue, such as a streetlight outage, pothole or park trail obstruction.

The report is automatically submitted to the respective division or department for review. The individual who submitted the service requested will be notified when the issue has been acknowledged and closed. Residents will also be able to view, comment on and vote to fix problems submitted by their neighbors.

Additional features of the app allow residents to read about the latest city news and events, contact city staff and more.
