Massive Breakthrough

This is going to be so awesome, I live in an area that requires me to travel back and forth over 2 different sets of tracks. This will help me plan my route accordingly and not end up 15 mins late like I typically am!

Waste of a great app idea!

Worked very VERY well for a great period of time! Now it’s a white screen you can’t do anything with. I would be able to plan my drive around it now I’m stuck behind the train! 1 star for breaking my heart

Response from developer

You’re right, a white screen made RailRadar unusable when you needed it most, and I’m sorry. I took your feedback to heart and rebuilt RailRadar 2.0 to be far more reliable. I hope you’ll give it another try. Thank you for caring enough to speak up!

Not functioning

A momentary screen then just a white screen after boot up.

Response from developer

I’m sorry, you should never have been met with a white screen after opening RailRadar. I rebuilt RailRadar 2.0 with reliability as a priority, along with a completely redesigned crossing experience. I hope you'll give it another try!

Empty

Does the intro and then shows a complete white screen. No buttons, no X button, just a white screen. Thats it.

Response from developer

Caleb, I’m sorry. I took your report seriously and rebuilt RailRadar 2.0 from the ground up for greater reliability and a much better crossing experience. I hope you’ll give RailRadar another chance!

Nothing

The app loaded to a blank white screen and didn’t do anything

Response from developer

You’re right, a blank screen meant RailRadar provided no value at all. I’m sorry for that experience. I took feedback like yours seriously and rebuilt RailRadar 2.0 from the ground up to be more dependable and useful. I hope you'll give it another try!
