Fantastic!
What a great app for us train junkies. I have a digitrax system with two wireless throttles. This app is as good as the the digitrax versions. Can't wait to see what else is added. Turnout control would be good. Keep up the good work.Alan1311
Great App! (v1.2.1)
Has some minor problems getting switch names and function labels from Decoder Pro, but otherwise functions perfectly! Exactly what I needed to add wireless throttles to our DCC controlled layout.Scott Kitts
Great app for the price and name
This app fits our studio needs perfectly. We have more trains than Digitrax throttles (Who woulda thunk it?) and the WiThrottle throttles work great with our Linux dispatch centre. The disconnect auto-stop is great, but I'd love to be able to throw switches. Who knows, maybe soon we can have on-cab signalling, block announcement, maybe even iPhone dispatching!
Great app. A way to disable the auto-stop would be nice (HTML switch control)Show lessSlaton Model Railroad Studio
Amazing Innovation
This app is amazing and is going to be transformative of the way that model trains are controlled. a $10 app is much more affordable than a bunch of $180 throttles and a UR92.
I was absolutely amazing when I saw a modular club using it, and they let me take control of a switcher with my iPod Touch. Yard mode is really slick, and makes switching easier than on the Digitrax throttles.
It is easier to use than a dedicated throttle, and is easier for non train enthusiasts to use, since they are used to the iPod Touch interface. This will be partially replacing my DT400Rs and UR91. Wifi is also a lot more reliable, and has more options for boosting the signal than Digitrax's wireless system.
I'd really like to see multiple train control, consisting, Ops mode programming, and switch control in this though. Maybe a $15 Pro version with all of that stuff?Show lessAlex892012
Cool app!
This works exactly as advertised! It is nice to have an app that does what it is supposed to do.Trains484
A Perfect Addition!
Wow! All I can say is that I've been waiting a long time for someone to finally bring an app like this to life! While my current throttle (DT400) keeps me tethered to the layout, this app allows me to roam freely and follow my trains. The $10.00 they want for this app is a far cry from what it would cost to install a Digitrax UR92 radio receiver ($160) and the cheap UTR4 radio utility throttle ($129). My iPod Touch is probably going to be my go-to throttle from now on. Heck, between this and Decoder Pro (which is required, but free), my Digitrax throttle may soon become irrelevant.
I look forward to future advances and updates to add even more capabilities.Show lessOld Muley
Very Good
For what it does, it does it very well. Just follow the instructions and it worked.
I'd like to see turnout controls, a way to juggle two locos on one screen and the ability to make and break consists. If it gets that, then it gets 5 stars.gwschreyer
J the M
Best App of 2009! It works as advertised, nice addition to the DCC System. Can't wait to see how things develop in the future.
FYI app is installed on ITouch 2g, and is controlling a Digitrax DCC system through JMRI on a Windows XP Acer Netbook.
Geek Factor, I give it a 10!SJanninck
Love this app
I have a LocoNet compatible system and have thought about buying a wireless throttle. When I saw the annoucement for this app, I decided to try it out immediately since its just small fraction of the cost of a dedicated wireless throttle. It worked flawlessly on the very first go. I had no problem installing it on my iPod Touch. Its great to be able to follow my train around the layout. In terms of bang-for-the buck, this app can't be beat!Show lessRangachari Anand
Just the right size!
Using it reminds me of the first week of running trains with DCC with a silly grin the whole time. Visitors to our layout tours were amazed when handed the iPhone to run some trains. No problems so far. Can't wait to see what the upgrades will add. My choice would be the ability to throw turnouts.RR-Mac Mini
