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. ### 4/5 — Need to link with W3W *2024-12-05* 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. ### 3/5 — Great, but… *2024-10-07* This is a long awaited app since track locator disappeared. Love that you can search ELRs and mileages. What 3 words integrated. Place pins to see mileages. Only 3 things I find frustrating. You can only see chainage or yardage, so accuracy is only with in 20 meters. When using the search function you have to know the which line is physically there eg: up/down/single, or the search does work at all. When trying to take a picture you have to make a report. Personally I would rather a picture with the mileage on it saved to my camera roll. Other then those brilliant app, hasn’t just replaced track locator but has made a much better app Thank you ### 3/5 — Unable to login since updated *2024-10-01* I have been logged out and it doesn’t let me log back in it just asks for an email then says create a new account without giving an option to log in. Then after adding details it says this account already exists. It’s quite frustrating please help ### 3/5 — At last. *2024-09-16, version 1.6.0* Eventually created an account. So it’s now all good. ### 5/5 — Help *2024-07-30* Looking to see if there’s a help service for this app just looking to see if there is a way to change it from miles and chains to miles and yards? Thanks **Developer response:** Hi Swanny2024, We are going to be releasing the ability to convert from chains to yards in the next few months. ### 5/5 — Track maintenance supervisor *2024-04-16* This app is brilliant for completing BVi and SVi reports quickly and then having the ability to send via PDF and attach to your TEFS. Would be great if you could edit your report afterwards to add more detail etc. Yards an chains would be great too as sometimes need the exact yardage for defects etc. The industry needs more apps like this !! 10/10 **Developer response:** Hi Liam201099, We're glad you're finding it brilliant for your reports! ### 5/5 — Essential assistance for an IWA, COSS, PICOP or ES *2024-04-15, version 1.4.5* Saw this mentioned on www.thehelpfulrailtrainer.co.uk, had no idea this app existed until then. Everyone needs a bit of reassurance occasionally. This does exactly that, and being paid for gives it more gravitas than a freebie. The signalling overlay hasn’t worked for me yet, but the line speed overlay makes checking a SSoW plan much quicker. ### 5/5 — Brilliant work. Nice job *2024-03-25* I have been wanting this app for so long. As a COSS. This is very important to me to know the exact mileage of the Railway. Thank you very much guys and if I did have to pay for this app it worth every pounds. Kind regards Teroy Tate **Developer response:** We truly appreciate your kind words and support! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Refreshing *2025-08-07, version 1.23.0* Does not work! Keeps refreshing when trying to open the app after registration ### 1/5 — Always out *2025-06-06* Been using this app since track locator went don’t now I pay £5 a month for it not even to be precise ### 1/5 — Not quite good enough *2024-11-16* 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. ### 1/5 — Can’t log in *2024-08-27* After most recent update, app won’t let me log in! I changed my password and still won’t let me log in! Went to send a message to app support and it says account suspended cannot log in to app support! I’m still paying, why is account suspended **Developer response:** Hello Tommcdonald8, Your account is active, and we think the login issue is a bug, as we discussed in our recent email exchange. We're working on resolving it.

Works on my other iPhone 12 It just gets stuck on the opening screen with no option to log in or sign up. I would happily pay if it would work I’m still unable to login due to the above!

Many thanks, Tracket Support ### 3/5 — App *2026-02-12* 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No.1 Rail App *2025-06-18, version 1.21.2* A must for any railway worker ### 5/5 — COSS *2025-06-11, version 1.21.2* Great app ### 5/5 — 10/10 *2025-06-04, version 1.21.0* EST railway app ### 5/5 — Can’t down load app *2025-02-21* I’ve tried many times but it won’t go off the home page **Developer response:** Hello, Thank you for your feedback, Please can you provide details of your issue to our support team at hello@tracket.co.uk and we will look into your issue!
