App crashes.
It was working fine the other day, now the App crashes whenever I try to add the “Engine Configuration” parameters. It’s so frustrating!
On top of that, the Base 3 has the most antiquated WiFi system, probably circa 2011.
I had to create a backwards compatible WiFi hotspot just to run it, and even then, it always wants to disconnect. When it works, it works, when it doesn’t… it doesn’t.

Cab 3 1.1.048 version full of bugs
This version of the app has been out for over 8 months. It is still full of bugs and frustrating issues. Two major flaws still exist on my end with updated base firmware 1.32 and newest version of app 1.1.048.
1) When my iPhone does a screen lock it will randomly cause all connected IOS Cab3 app controllers to disconnect and it will not allow a reconnect to the base without power cycling of the Base3. If my phone doesn’t lock, I never have a connectivity issue. After power cycle all devices connect immediately.
2) Randomly Cab3 buttons will turn orange and stop responding. This affects accessories, engines, and switches. Seems to be totally random. By switching to Bluetooth and back to Base on the tabs at the top of the Cab3 app it will start working again.
This is very frustrating and disappointing this product has been on the market for as long as it has been and limited progress has been made on the reliability of the app.

Legacy engine is recognized but doesn’t receive operational commands
Upgraded my iphone os to 26. I can see the engine but the app is unable to send commands. This app is a major part of using the Base 3 and it hasn’t been upgraded in 6 months. What is Lionel thinking. Please stay on top of your product. Conceptually the Base 3 and the app are great ideas but need attention. I will revise my rating when the functionality is fully working.

It barely works
The app just barely works but not for all engines. It will not run the plain Lionchecf Plus engines. It will run the 2.0. Many of the functions do not work. It’s ok for very basic running of trains. Need an update.
Got some bugs
I was running my hogwarts express and I turned on the bell but as soon as it stoped the throttle jumped down to zero.
