Please fix scrolling. Yards with lot of lots locations can't scroll all the way down. You can view only what is on the screen. Same thing when you creating inbound or outbound code. Have to save it and go to my work to edit it. Please, please fix it!!! It's very annoying.

Every railroad has gone to an app, some are better then others but they all mostly work the way intended for all who use them. Leave it to Norfolk Southern to be the only one to fail miserably and create an app that is completely useless for all but a select few.
