Ratings and reviews

Been using for the last year or so, 1700+ units logged all over the country. Very intuitive and allows for you to choose how you log by location, add notes etc. E.g. Eurostars logged out in Paris, Underground separate to National Rail. Trains being updated (new Lumo 222s for instance) so that the app isn't outdated. Easy to cross-reference with RTT and Traksy. Logging a train takes two seconds, which is good if you're blasting along at speed and catch multiple

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 As you can expect with trains swapping companys or being withdrawn updates might be need and the developers do that as soon as possible and is near enough all up to date.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.
