I downloaded it after reading franks post and I think it's pretty good! The photo gallery is nice and I think overall the app is well done. (I wonder where are the heritage units are this week though :lol: )

I have attempted to get the app, but it said you had to have a certain version, probably the iPhone 4 or above. I have the 3Gs and it didn't work.

An update for the Android version including the heritage unit tracking is in the works. There is also supposedly a website version coming as well.

Someone did create this page to track the NS and UP units, but wonder how this one will compete against the NS corporate one: http://www.heritageunits.com/
