Description
This app is designed specifically to read Sentinel smartcards for Network Rail’s Sentinel system.
It allows anyone to check their own Sentinel card and allows authorised card checkers to authenticate their team as well as undertake spot checks and check TVPs.
When online, the app shows the most up to date information for each cardholder either by scanning the card’s QR code or by reading the details stored in the smartcard using NFC. Even without mobile internet access, the information stored on the card can still be accessed, any recently scanned card details can also be reviewed, and all checks will be stored and uploaded to the database when back online.

Ratings and Reviews
Great Idea, badly executed
The app itself is a great idea for checking and recording competence use.
Biggest issue is the lack of up to date locations. There are only a handful of project sites, NR DU’s and stations meaning you often have to swipe in at a location miles fro. Where you are.
Simple fix either use GPS and link to the track locator app for accurate locations or upload all the access information from the Hazard Directory.
Developer Response ,
Hi. Thank you for the Review and your suggestions. We will look into them but, in the meantime, if specific locations are missing then please inform the Sentinel helpdesk so they can work with the Network Rail Operations team to add them for you.
Terrible
Now I'm sure this app is perfect in a lovely quiet office with a super speedy wireless connection. Where there are no distractions and you have all the time in the world to use this.
In reality if you get 3G in some places your lucky,as an Es you check all the cards from strapman to cosses. All the while being constantly on the phone and making sure everyone knows where they are going.
How we are supposed to use this long winded dogs dinner of an app to sign untold people in quickly at the start of a possession beats me.
Unless of course we all start 8 hours early.
Please go back to your perfect testing environment and come up with a sensible, easier quicker to use version that the average railway worker can use. Or bin it completely
Awful so many issues.
As someone who goes out as a COSS a lot, and who has the displeasure of having to TRY and use this app on a regular basis, please listen to me when I say, either make it work or just go back to the original version where you only have to check that your persons are competent. The amount of times that I click finish work for the day, and then the next day/shift go to swipe myself and or the same persons as last shift in, and it says that I didn't swipe out last time is unreal?! And means I end up not being able to swipe myself or anyone else in no matter what I do all because of the issues of your app?!?!
Please fix it asap or get rid?
