Great App…….. but !

Every time I go to create a report, the app crashes. Maybe it’s the size as I have 118 pictures but it gets to 70% complete, then shuts down, I have to then download each picture separately, which is a right pain, please sort it out as it’s so useful

Response from developer

Hi, this issue is fixed in our next version.

Great App

Use it every time I’m on track. Fast to reference with, some of the track names differ from what I was used to but when I spoke to my ES they confirmed the app was correct as it’s based on NR naming and were just used to the different names here or there. Apart from that it’s incredible! Recommend to all my teams.

Incorrect Info

Line names are all completely wrong. Not just on one section but the entire area. (Railway worker here). DO NOT USE.

EDIT: In response to your response, this app is clearly not used by railway workers. Also train enthusiasts. The line names for every area I sign are completely wrong. The app is no good for safety critical railway workers.

Response from developer

Hi Scott, We use data directly from network rail, over 3000 other railway workers don’t have an issue with our data and have verified the accuracy of our data. Please reach out to us at hello@raillocator.co.uk with the ELR and mileage that you are seeing an issue and let us know what you would expect it to be.

App

The app could be better, could show signals, access points. Not up to date, I am currently working in Huddersfield and the app show more lines at site then there is. When taking pictures, I have to take a few time to get the information required, i.e, miles and chains as they do not always appear on the picture.

COSS

10/10

EST railway app

Very handy

A good app. The report side comes in handy but could use an update to allow a draft to save will writing a report and the option to go back a step to ad additional photos without loosing your report.

Need offline maps please

There are many areas of the railway that don’t have mobile signal and so an offline option would make this a 5 star app for me. You can still have GPS without mobile signal and so could still find your location (miles and chains) in an emergency. Even if you just have the option of downloading local maps to your device before going out onto the railway.

Loving the App

Best App on the railway

Rail

Great app and just keeps getting better, this is now better than the original Track locator.

Need to link with W3W

One thing I think would make this app better is if tapping on the What3Words (W3W) displayed took you directly to the W3W app rather than having to type it in manually.

If having a link is not a possibility then at least allow the copy function so it could be pasted into W3W.

Just a thought.

Outstanding

Great app

Top Job

When accessing or on track this app is helpful to assist me. Luckily it works on IOS

Not quite good enough

I need miles, chains and yards.
It would be extremely useful to show position in meters as well.

The cost is the biggest problem.
I don’t mind paying a one off cost £20-£30 maybe but a subscription of minimum £5 a month is just not worth it.

All I want to know is where I am and what way I’m facing so I can find a mile post to chain out a site.
