### 5/5 — Works well

*2025-09-01*

This app is solid for the price.   I was able to connect to a new TCS CS105 command station with no problem.  Given the expense of WIFI throttles this provides good basic functionality for a utility throttle.  It would be great to have a commercial version that was optimized for an iPad to provide a more full featured capabilities.  One would be a multi throttle page with ability to select switches and different trains without switching back and forth between menus
