Nice tool when watching trains
Good to know if something good is coming only thing is as of recently the app keeps crashing for whatever reason. Other than that no complaints.

Good but could be better
The app is great for knowing that units are nearby. I’ve used it several times to locate units before, and most of the time the train tracker is either accurate enough or wildly misleading. One thing that should be added is report timestamps. You can select when the unit came through, but then people will go through all the webcams and fill up the nearby reports with useless reports from hours beforehand. It should say when the report was submitted in addition to the pre-existing timestamp.
