I turn my train up to full speed, it receives power, Bluetooth is on, and it doesn’t work. I really need help. ### 5/5 — Perfect for beginners and model railroading and pros *2022-06-26* So I downloaded the app and I like and I saw a bunch of reviews and videos in the app seems to run very very well so now I’m gonna buy a E-Z app locomotive to run on my 36 inch track I am super excited and I love Bachman ! ### 2/5 — Eh *2021-09-01* Brother has the app, works well, he likes it. I just downloaded it and all of the buttons on the app aren't lit up and won't let me click any of them. You're just now answering a review from 5 years ago???? **Developer response:** The app only works with a Bachmann E-Z App train. The train must be powered up, in range, and not connected to another phone. ### 1/5 — Can’t get it to work *2020-10-11* I’m using ho scale and I’ve been putting power into my Bluetooth this on and it’s just not letting me drive my trains **Developer response:** The app only works with a Bachmann E-Z App locos. ### 5/5 — Easy to control! *2018-10-27* With this app you can control one train or multiple at once! What i really like a bout the multi-train feature is that its easier to control than tho Bachman ex command system! ### 5/5 — Cool app *2017-09-13* Cool app! Makes it easy to control my ez app engines ### 5/5 — Great app for EZApp Train Control *2016-11-12, version 1.09* I noticed that my Bachmann EZApp locomotive no longer responds to the updated EZApp Train controller app. It worked fine prior to the updating of the app to latest version on Oct 2016. The locomotive still runs fine using the Blue Rail Control app. There must be a glitch introduced with the Bachmann EZ App update? (IPad Pro iOS 10.1 and iPad 3 iOS 9.3.5) ### 2/5 — Needs work, a bit of a gimmick *2016-02-22, version 1.06* The app is interesting and could be both fun and useful once it has been improved. It is still buggy,slow and the sound effects are a bit generic. The app freezes and becomes non-functional for no apparent reason. The sound effects coming from the iPhone/Pad/Pod are a bit disconcerting,especially if the loco is some distance from the operator....furthermore the actual sound-effects from the decoder are better than those coming from app. In all honesty the WiThrottle and WiThrottle Lite apps are much better and far more functional than this app. ### 5/5 — Awesome with Kids *2016-02-06* We really like this set up. Allows me to get my young daughters involved in playing with the train set. They love the music function. Would gladly download additional songs to go with the system. A selection of non-Christmas songs would be awesome as well. Love the system and hope it continues to be upgraded with things like new song interactions. ## Frequently asked questions about E ### What trains are compatible with E-Z App Train Control?
