I love this app, it's not perfect but it is free. One thing could be improved. When adding numbers to a date/ location if you press the back button it takes you to the details of the last class uploaded rather than taking you back the way you came. A great app and I have recommended it to a number of other people.

Great app not one issue with it. As you can expect with trains swapping companys or being withdrawn updates might be need and the developers do that as soon as possible and is near enough all up to date. If you enter a loco in and put a location as soon as you press save it will automatically put date and time (Note only if you don't put date in manually) it remembers your location ready for your next entry and you can also can put notes on.

App has minor mistakes - many HST powercars that are active with Colas are labelled as "stored", and you have to manually input the RailAdventure HST unit numbers. Also, 320411 shows as "scrapped" despite it still running. Other than these minor issues with some locos and units (probably more, but I don't pay much attention), great
