App is great, very informative on keeping safe. Easy to use icons and very easy to create reports. Will defo keep on phone for further use as there is always an issue on a train nowadays. This seems to be in beta and once its installed it populates 2 icons on my phone, is there a reason for this? Please look into when possible.

I downloaded this app as it was advertised on my train. Like everything else with the railways, it would be good if it worked properly. It doesn't. It is useless as it refuses to accept my phone number, so I cannot register with it. A total waste of time and effort. It is now getting deleted.
