Otherwise it is a very nice map. Well built, love how you can see the maps of all the live cams! ### 3/5 — No free content? *2026-02-06, version 1.0.1* Looks great but pity there’s no free content or trail to try out before subscribing. ### 4/5 — Great Start! *2026-02-06, version 1.0.1* This application has potential to be something bigger than what it is already. As with everything else VRF has done thus far this is just the beginning. Excited to see what’s next. Make watching our favorite trains easier. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — False Advertising *2026-07-11, version 1.0.11* I have been loyal to this real fan streaming service for me to sleep to in .earlier today my brother locked me out of my Xbox account, because Xbox assumed my brother was hacking into it, so I locked it down and this app was what I was able to get to. And you said it was free on the website 125 free cameras, no subscription required, but the moment I try to sign in. I couldn’t get on without a subscription like, if I had the money to do a lawsuit for false advertising, I would. now I’m gonna delete this app after this review. ### 1/5 — Total nonsense *2026-06-24, version 1.0.11* the price is really outrageous and have to have the subscription just to get In the app. ### 1/5 — Can’t even use the app without buying a subscription🤦‍♂️ *2026-06-03, version 1.0.11* How are they going to even let me buy a subscription or even see what it cost without even letting me see or use the app in any without already have a subscription. You click on the become a become a member button on there website than it says oops this page doesn’t exist. 🤦‍♂️ ### 1/5 — So far, not so good… *2026-03-23, version 1.0.8* First of off; The prices should not even exist. Paying to see trains from the comfort of your own home is like paying to see trains in person when the whole reason for watching live rail cams are for people who can’t afford to pay for transportation costs and for enjoying the show featuring your favorite/chosen locomotive to watch at that moment. Second of all; I can’t change my birthdate to my real birthdate because every time I go in the settings, it automatically resets to what the date was before I set it. Third of all; There are 2 “Canada” States sections listed, as well as the other sections listed twice. Fourth of all; The audio keeps muting automatically when I preview a livestream, but when I unmute it, the audio isn’t audible. And fifth of all, there are no quality settings for any live rail cams. ### 1/5 — Not functional *2026-03-06, version 1.0.5* Don’t try to create an account through Apple login! I’m currently locked out of the app on nearly every device due to bugs. This should not have been released in this state. ### 1/5 — So far this has been a failure *2026-02-19, version 1.0.4* There is no ability to control sound in the app on my iPad. Silence is the only option. Unfortunately the website through Google Chrome on an iPad is no better. From there you can’t even select your layout. I will be seriously considering canceling my subscription if it remains this bad. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-02-12* Far too many bugs right now. Can’t login with iPad using an Apple account as “email is required.” I paid for a year and it’s wasting away without being able to use it. ### 1/5 — Login *2026-02-06, version 1.0.1* Unable to login. ### 2/5 — New Layout *2026-02-10* My downloads don’t have the New Layout drop down on the Dashboard page, only able to see the 9 camera page when the page isn’t buffering. Using the app and not a browser, also using MacBook Air same issues. ### 3/5 — Volume *2026-02-21* Why does the volume always cut out every 20 seconds?? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — So Glad This Finally Got An App! *2026-05-10, version 1.0.10* Y’all give it some time there’s gonna be bugs when it a new app drops… I’m just excited they started the app. Can’t wait for the new updates ### 5/5 — This is Dennis *2026-05-09, version 1.0.10* If you guys aren’t listening to this app, I cannot login. I can’t use my password to make me very upset. I can’t watch my favorite trains. ### 5/5 — Fix the app *2026-04-08, version 1.0.9* I cannot watch strange because I have to get a subscription to do this ### 5/5 — So Glad This Finally Got An App! *2026-02-20* Y’all give it some time there’s gonna be bugs when it a new app drops… I’m just excited they started the app. Can’t wait for the new updates ### 5/5 — Riding the Rails- In an App!! *2026-02-13* So many great locations in ONE PLACE! It’s train heaven! So great to have the subscription features, and all the cameras are in a single drop down menu for each cam. So much better than YouTube! The chat might be a bit iffy, but other than that, this app is amazing. Thank you Virtual Railfan! ### 5/5 — Nice! *2026-02-07, version 1.0.1* Nice! ### 5/5 — Goo Csx *2026-02-06, version 1.0.1* Virtual railfan ### 5/5 — Amazing app 🤩 *2026-02-06, version 1.0.1* The app is truly one of a kind really is amazing to see all the hard work you guys put into being on YouTube and have just started from one camera to multiple now and getting to be on the App Store and tv stations and tv apps is just so amazing to hear what a way u guys have come keep up the amazing work can’t wait to see what else this year / the rest of The 2026 brings ❤️😉🤩😊🥳🎉😊😄 ### 5/5 — Virtual Railfan *2026-02-06, version 1.0.0* Watch trains LIVE. ### 4/5 — Great App! *2026-04-10, version 1.0.10* I’m personally happy with the app. No issues, but I have one recommendation to bump it 5 stars… The ability to zoom in on a camera similar to YT, would be awesome. Otherwise, I’m glad to watch VRF on the app. Thanks to the devs! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
