Hutchcraft said the app aims to reach the demographic of the city that may not be keeping up with updates provided on social media.
'Now we're able to streamline that information on one platform and everyone has a cell phone so they can get it right on their phone,' Hutchcraft said.
The free mobile app, Hutchcraft said, aims to improve transparency between the city government and the citizens of North Little Rock. As they can access city meeting minutes dating back to the late 20th century, originally only available through a Freedom of Infromation Act request, now available on their phone.
Hutchcraft said users can also personalize their experience and receive notifications from different departments and areas of need and interest in the city such as leaf removal, inclement weather, council meetings, parks and recreation, animal adoption and of course the City itself.
The app also provides a list of upcoming events that month on the homepage, along with articles, updates and announcements that are posted on the city's social media.
'It's very user-friendly, anyone will be able to use the app and have access to any kind of information they need about the city,' Hutchcraft said.
