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!

"Whats new"

App used to work great, used to! Sometimes just leave things alone!

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?

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.

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.

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.

Apple really is better huh?

Literally no crossings showing up on my iphone 13. A crossings app with no crossings. Works just fine on my s23.

Canada

Can you add crossings in Canada please?

Pretty Good

It is a good app just need to fix small bugs because sometimes it will not load and I had perfect signal.

Great app.

This app is quite great there are lots of information. Also it should add what type of bell the crossing has

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

great

its good all it needs is a frequency & tones

Please Update

It’s been one year since app was updated. RR signs will not show up and constantly crashes now. Something has to give!

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.
