I wanted to report that I've tried it several times and have to say it really works. Winchester City Council have repaired 3 of 4 reported
potholes quite quickly and quite well. One in particular that was deep enough to damage vehicle suspension was repaired within days and has returned
the road to how it should be!
All I can say is give it a go and see if it works for you.
Well done - I've been meaning to report a sunken drain cover for a while - now done.
They do work .... I got fed up of moaning to myself about potholes in our road so i logged them online .... sure enough in a very short time a little man came along and made them good ..... impressed ! Obviously claims for damaged wheels/tyres must be more than the cost of filling them in.
Good work gents - must be honest and say I had my doubts about it, but there's something really quite pleasing about seeing the repair done and knowing you contributed to it.
Seen a few in Coventry I think need sorting....time to find out if it works there too 
I have the app on my phone - it is comprehensive enough to use a photo from the camera and position from the GPS. I've used it a few times and repairs have been made - never know whether it is anything to do with me reporting it of course.
The real fact here is that if the pot hole has not been reported the council seem to be able to get out of paying for any damage whereas if it has
been reported then they are definitely liable.
This is backed up by a claim I made a while back and in reply was sent about 20 pages of reported potholes and my particular one was not on there
therefore they stated they were not liable even though it was blatantly obvious from the photos I sent in that my hole was caused by a shoddy repair
to a neighboring hole repair.

Doesn't work that well in Essex.
After first report (last spring) they were marked with orange paint.
Purple paint came next in August.
Three weeks ago white paint.
Some of these are dustbin lid size and I know of at least one car that had to swerve into the ditch
because the car coming the other way wouldn't move over.
Typical cut and paste from an email I had from Essex County Council. (One of many)

Dear Sir/Madam
The pothole you reported at BLA BLA (Reference BLA BLA) has now been assessed and this has not met our criteria for repair at this time.
This pothole will continue to be monitored during our routine inspections and if we find the pothole has deteriorated it may be repaired if we are
undertaking other road maintenance in this area.
Thank you for bringing this pothole to our attention; although we have retained details of the issue we are unable to provide you with any further
updates regarding this matter.

I believe a pothole must be reported by two or more separate people.

Seems more hit and miss recently but I'm glad it helps!
Be careful I drove over a large pothole full of water at night recently, reported it, several days later I drove through the same spot in daylight to find Finchingfield pond tarmaced over and the local ducks looking quite bemused. 🤡

Most county councils have there own reporting system, certainly Kent does (just google them). If they take any notice is another thing....several big
holes i drive past (or through!) on the way to work have been marked but un-fixed for over 2 months now
