What they complain about
- Crossings often fail to load properly

Best app ever
Don’t understand why the reviews are so low this app is amazing and can help u navigate any grade crossing. Best app ever
getting worse
cannot search dot #s and does not show crossings more than half the time
Pretty Good
It is a good app just need to fix small bugs because sometimes it will not load and I had perfect signal.
New update
This new update requires me to download the PDF to view information every time I want to view the subdivision. I liked the prior version better; I could easily view the information at a glance without downloading or opening it in a browser.
Love the App
Love the app on the iOS version. However, would love to see an android version of the app. Little bit difficult to know where you’re at and location in which you’re working without this app. Please roll out an android version. Wanting to switch back to android device.
No email confirmation received
My only disappointment is I no longer receive an email confirmation from the Federal Railroad Administration thanking me for reporting a problem concerning my local railroad crossing. I wonder why?
App has gone downhill
The app doesn’t work any more
great
its good all it needs is a frequency & tones
Not a very helpful app
This app does not provide real time data such as when I train is approaching a crossing, in the actual crossing or if the train is stalled at a crossing. Not sure what good this app does if it doesn’t help eliminate delays for motorist who have to wait for a crossing to clear. I gave it 2 stars because it does provide a phone number to call in the event there is an emergency.
Canada
Can you add crossings in Canada please?
Great app.
This app is quite great there are lots of information. Also it should add what type of bell the crossing has
Worthless
POS app just randomly decided that crossings are not a thing anymore
Needs worked on
The crossings don’t always appear which defeats the whole purpose.
Not working
Can you please help me my railroad locator not working I try everything still not working
Good Tool but has Problems
This is a very good tool for emergency responders, however, some crossings are misplaced or non existent, so it definitely needs updated. Just be aware of the potential problems if used.
I LOVE This App!!
I've loved Trains (Diesel that is), ever since I was a kid and to this day, will take a back road on the way home from work where there is a RR Crossing, in hopes of seeing one of the CSX Freights go by. Today, I took that route and the Crossing Lights and Arms were STUCK, about a quarter of the way down and no train was anywhere near for miles and it was causing DANGEROUS problems. I called the phone number that was listed for that crossing and gave them the Crossing ID number. They immediately pulled it up an dispatched someone from CSX, out to the Crossing! THANK YOU, for a great App and for providing VERY important info on the Map, that hopefully, may have saved some lives!!
Only works with WiFi!
This app is a wonderful tool for railroad employees when it works but it only works when connected to WiFi for some reason.
Used to work well
Now I get an SSL error and crossings don’t load.
Really good app
I think this is a really good app. Although it does not show if a train is stopped at a crossing, it shows max speed, average speed, trains per day, etc. Overall, if you need a map to see if tracks are near, download this.
Update is horrible
The recent changes to this app almost makes it unusable that once was a great tool whatever moron chose to do this should be fired
Needs improvement
The recent update released to address crossings that are not loading is not working. Pleas include contact information when the app fails to load crossings properly.
Great For Emergency Services
Fantastic app for Emergency Services in identifying information about a particular crossing. Allows for users to pass on information to host railroads of stalked vehicles or debris on track right of way. Allows train crews to locate crossing information and relay that to Emergency Services.
Don’t fix what wasn’t broken.
This App was perfectly fine before they updated it a couple of months ago. Now, it sometimes doesn’t load any crossings, can’t find your location, has the wrong crossing number, and various other issues. You should also have the option to open in Apple Maps. The old App just used the device default, this opens Google Maps!
Great app
I love this app and reading the accident reports by where I live it’s very interesting and as a trainspotter the app shows you milepost markers which is amazing Great app I love it.
"Whats new"
App used to work great, used to! Sometimes just leave things alone!
Perfect
I am a railfan see trains every Friday and in a big city and almost every time a train is there one day a I saw a train and I wished I had this lost the lead loco then one day I searched this and bam I have it and yeah it works so good I love this app
No crossings
To my amazement, the app decides to show NO crossings on my iPhone. Could anyone explain why the crossings app has no crossings? No i don’t think anyone can.
Make Things Easier
Tried to get rail crossing information from the Federal Railway Administration website. What a pain. This app is sooo much easier.
Does Not Load Crossings
This app is basically worthless. It does load the crossings or crossings into. What’s the point?? It worked in the past. Apparently, no one is keeping up with this app.
Good Resource
Nifty app to identify grade crossings and railroads that maintain them. Includes links to accident reports useful for assessing safety and historical reference. Criticism that app should indicate position of gates in live time is not realistic. For one reason not all crossings have gates. This is particularly true on Class III railroads in rural areas.
APP NOT WORKING
In the past this app worked correctly but, for the last few months I have not been able to pull up a single crossing. Please fix this soon. This app used to be really helpful.
