I am very happy with this app. Love it I have no issues with it it runs very smooth on my ipad. My phone and my t v very happy with the app. And once again have no issues. I am very, very happy with it. And happy they released it. I'm a Big train fan no longer have to go on YouTube to watch the live video. I can come on here every day. And enjoy all videos. Thank you for the release very happy with it.

Great start for the dedicated app. 👍👍 Would like to have the ability for the screen to stay on when watching a stream and not go to sleep. Update: The screen now stays on and no longer goes to sleep.

The app is great, but unfortunately you can't be connected with YouTube anymore because the chat is not embedded onto the app, and you have to pay for every single camera except 1 free 1. If a camera is closed too quickly then the camera won't fully close out, and you can still hear sound of that camera while watching a totally other one. Overall this app is great and does not have a ton of bugs for just being released. Overall I am excited to see what is to come with the app with future updates!

If you don't have money for a membership or don't want to pay for a membership this app isn't for you... It's sad because on YouTube I'm able to a lot of cameras free and nothing on this app is free! DELETE

Very buggy. Opens for a few seconds then closes before I can begin to populate the fields on the account page, and I've been a paid member for 59 months. I'm patient though. Early days, and I know you'll work out the bugs.

Well not what I was hoping for at all. This app is a ripoff for what you're getting. It barely even works and their famous "Dashboard" doesn't even work. Chats are dead so no info gained of where trains were spotted unlike YouTube. Almost impossible to rewind to find a train as each smallest tick is a 30 min skip. This is definitely a let-down. They hope to take down the cams off YouTube and everyone migrates to this piece of junk...yeah never going to happen. VRF is going downhill.
