ive had this problem with other apps but it wont open i open it and not even a second later it crashes on my iphone x

### 2/5 — Simple but works

*2021-08-17*

This is just a very basic data base app. It just lets you record when you saw a train and if you rode it. You can’t say where, and no photos, no map, no connection with other spotters.

### 5/5 — Fantastic

*2020-04-25*

Fantastic you can mark every train you have seen and risen on
