The best way to control your model railroad ever!
I'm using it with NCE DCC. It took a little while to set up JMRI on an old PC, but now I can control my all my trains much easier than ever. I especially like the way it displays the custom function labels I created for all my sound functions in JMRI decoder Pro. I find with this it is also much easier to pick my DCC controlled turnouts, than it ever was with the NCE handheld controller. I use this APP every time I run my trains now. If you are ever wishing you had a wireless handheld, don't buy one, download this instead!Show lessBenji Bunnyman
Great controller.
When I got a MTH j class I was annoyed to see I couldn't consist easily with my power cab. With this controller though in able to consist all the locos that I want. From whatever manufacturer. It's great.
Super easy to use as well.
Thanks!99SS-T
Absolutely amazing!
I just tried the Lite version and was so impressed that I immediately bought the full program. Used with JMRI 3.2 on an old Acer desktop running Windows XP Pro and an NCE USB interface to an NCE Power Cab DCC system (v.1.28c). The only hiccup was the driver install for the USB interface and that was resolved quickly.
Still trying to figure out how to label the function buttons, but I suspect that is done thru the JMRI which I have yet to fully explore.Show lessOld Norm
Good, but Better UI Would Make it Great
This is an awesome solution for a low-cost DCC soft throttle, especially when compared to the cost of some of the hard throttles out there.
However, the user interface is garish and looks like it was put together with very little attention to the look & feel/aesthetics. Type is of various point sizes throughout and usually not well aligned. Graphics elements are extremely simple colored boxes - no gradients, shadows or anything but 90-degree right angles (everything is a simple rectangle). All of this combines to give the app a simplistic, almost toy-like appearance. It looks to the eye very much like this is an alpha version used for UI art concepting - not a final, marketed product.
Really hoping an update comes along to give this awesome, indispensable tool a much-needed facelift.Show lessJeepboy

Great app. Saves having to buy separate controllers for my Digitrax Zephyr.Felice1215
Wow
Absolutely fantastic. Everything it's supposed to be. I've been a model railroader for over thirty years but I'm new to DCC. I use a Sprog III DCC system but I really wanted a wireless controller for operations. This is the answer. In no time I was running not just one but two locomotives at the same time. It is so cool using my iPhone as the controller. Super easy to use controls. You can choose different options on controller configurations and a split screen option to run two locos at once. It's great being able to follow my train around the layout. Thanks for this app. It is just about the most enjoyable one I have.Show lessjjjeeper
Man, this is one sweet app!
For $10 I get the power of a dedicated wireless throttle on my existing iPhone?!? I LOVE it!Chief.Buffoon
Great App if you do not have a wireless system
I find it very cool to be able to use my Iphone to control my layout. The sliding Function keys is a nice feature as well.CSX in Indy

Nice App I like controlling my trains with it. I hope they make an iPad version. With the screen size of the iPad a lot could be added.
Thanksjdnewemail
Railroad revival!
Our older Digitrax system was due for new throttles, and setting up jmri and using iPods and smart phones was considerably cheaper! Turnout control is a totally awesome feature and everything works great together!
It brought new life to this old railroad!
Definitely a must have!Slug1965
