Getting worse

Crossing info is not as user friendly as in the past. Basic info not displayed as clearly. Also, this app used to show nearby crossings. Now it does not. Connected to office wifi - won't show crossings. Connected to 5G in the field- won't show crossings. Search by railroad - won't show crossings. The only way to see a crossing is to search exact DOT number.

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!

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?
