Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Berneslai Homes (app) is a housing repairs app that enables Berneslai Homes’ tenants to report internal and external problems and repairs. It is a simple process that sends the details of what the issue is, where is it, allows tenants to attach an image and confirm their availability for the repair to be undertaken. Berneslai Homes receives the report immediately and communicates with the tenant within the app. This means all messages are sent and received by the app, so that the tenant can easily see all the comments, questions and the status of the repair, and the repairs process can be managed as quickly as possible. The app allows tenants to report multiple problems/ repairs and see them all separately. In addition to housing repairs reporting, Berneslai Homes (app) provides tenants with a range of information and other services from Berneslai Homes. There is access to Universal Jobmatch from Jobcentre Plus and a range of local services, news and links to the Council’s payment section of their website. The app also allows the reporting of abandoned vehicles, dumped rubbish, graffiti, street lighting faults, potholes, anti-social behaviour and street furniture damage to the local authority (Barnsley Council) for handling. This application is not designed or suitable for the purposes of reporting emergency repairs. Text has been placed on screen to reinforce this with the user.

Is there a version of Berneslai Homes for older Android phones?

The current version needs Android 4.4 or later. Version 4.1.3 is the newest listed build that installs on Android 4.1 and later. It is an old build: apps that rely on online services may no longer connect when they are this old. Get version 4.1.3 · All versions

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.
