Works good in general but there are a number of issues.
1) Does not work well to control the TMCC crane. (This is now fixed!)
2) Some of the icons are unclear and I see no definitive guide to what they are supposed to do, even with the manual online from Lionel website. (Getting better now)
4) The train brake does not work correctly. It pulses the engine to a stop, not smoothly. Also, the speed-up feature accelerates far to quickly to be useful. It doesn’t seem to match the momentum setting of the engine. (Still not great, but a little better)
5) The interface design, while functional, has the look and feel of a cheep Chinese product controller app. It does not reflect the sophistication and realism of the lionel catalog products.
6) Swiping up to reveal other menus sometimes also activates unwanted functions of the active engine. (Fixed!)
7) An iPad version of the app would be very helpful and allow the display of additional controls, displays, or screens for which there is no room on a phone app. 8) Need to add the RECORD feature from the Legacy system. So the train can drive itself. This would be a great addition to the functions. 9) Need to allow setting of the Restricted, Slow, Medium, Limited, Normal, Highball speeds! All the pre-programmed speeds are way too fast for how I run my trains. This would be a really easy thing to do. Just hold one of the speed keys and a menu should pop up allowing you to pick its speed setting.
