Wonderful app for iphone

It was extremely easy to set up and is amazing to have in addition to the Cab Control remote.

Response from developer

It's required to update your command station firmware to the latest version. Older versions are not tested and not guaranteed to be supported. In your email you pointed out that you have not the latest firmware. Please check it again.

Loads locs, switches and feedbacks instantly

I tried the trial version on my iPad with my ESU CabControl just for interest. I found the name and IP for my Command Station in the CabControl settings. The app loaded all my locs, switches, and feedbacks instantly. Good looking display with access to all your functions.

It’s likely that I won’t buy the app because my two ESU MC2 devices are all I need. But if you want to use an iPhone for a throttle - which would be easier to hold than an iPad - then this app may fit your need.
