More Ads then Trains

Prior to and during Covid, this app was enjoyable for train enthusiast. You could watch train streams all day with no interruptions. Currently, however, it’s nothing but a cesspool of ads. Live stream cameras seem to buffer more so than not and ads interrupt train streams every 20 minutes. It’s annoying and unfortunate. Deleted the app.

Bug Report

I dont know how else to contact you guys, and this is my favorite train watching platform so I’m leaving 5 stars. Whenever I sign in and go to an engineer camera, it shows me the “purchase subscription” screen with no sign in option. It’s quite annoying and the conrail unit will be going by waldwick soon. Please fix this, thank you!

Awesome AND STOP COMPLAINING ABOUT THE ADS. YOU ONLY HAVE TO WAIT FIVE SECONDS🤬🤬🤬🤬

Bro this is awesome the railcams for free are so cool and even the fact that you can sometimes catch big boy 4014 like I did June 6, 2026 I really don’t mind the lag. I cannot wait for the next heritage unit or next time I get to see 4014. Also show up to virtual railfan for saying they would put the profile picture on Fostoria Ohio to big boy 4014 in passing through there. Seriously like we need more real hands I would love if you put the Thomasville real come on there. This is so much better than virtual real fan because virtual railfan you have to pay for a sub subscription if you even wanna watch a real cam both if you added the Thomasville and sea rail cam the good thing is that you can watch members only real cams on YouTube for free well virtual rail fan you’re gonna miss some trains cause you flipping have to use the members only on YouTube see those trains and Im just a kid. I can’t do that my mom don’t have the money these rooms are awesome virtual rail fan on the other hand. I mean, I don’t mind virtual fan but the fact that you can’t have it on like your iPad or iPhone without a subscription and that you have to have YouTube it sucks man this is so much better It’s like you only have five seconds before you can skip. I don’t know what the complaining is about. It should be at least a 4.7 rating.

Don’t see the value of this app…

Was once the business, Railstream, not the app. And this app adds little value to the membership that doesn’t feel worth it at times. Switching between cameras, or the tiny window that will not turn on a phone are not what you expect in a paid service.

Issues

Good app and use it every night but on the Boyce Cam on 3/3/26 the cam is stuck at night time and has been going all day but the time is still going. You can only hear the trains and I was waiting for NS 8099 but missed it due to the cam being frozen
