About this app
The AskRail app is a hazardous materials safety tool for first responders who are first on scene or directly support the first on scene in the event of a rail incident.

You also must obtain sponsorship from a Class I railroad. This process may take up to several weeks.

Have had this app for response reference with the FD and HazMat Team. Since the update I can't do anything with it. Uninstaller and reinstalled and now soooo many hoops to re-verify and re-register. Cant fill in half the areas to register. What a mess. Once they get it figured out I may reinstall. Good Info if you can get it to work. The problem I am having is registering again. It won't accept info or let me edit fields. I have already been verified when I used it before.

As a volunteer fire fighter this is great tool to have access to when I need to look up rail cars and what the content of said car are.

Currently this is a 1 star app that I would not rely on for any real world issue. For the past year it has not worked, regardless of updates but I had hope that after this latest update it would work as it was meant to. After following instructions for the update, it wouldn't allow me to enter text into required fields to reregister my device. Developer contacted, we'll see how it goes.

Hi JB, This is terrible news. I would really like to help make sure that AskRail can provide you the support needed especially in an emergency situation. Would you be able to mention that you submitted a review on Google Play in your case with our support team so that I can work with you directly? I'd really like to understand your experience.
