User reviews

Very poor app

Don’t waste your money

Worked well at first, now seems to be overdue for updates

This was initially pretty easy to use. I liked that, if a particular track was not available, you could add it. Granted, you were inputing each track piece one at a time, but it was rather easy, despite being time consuming. Designing a 3D plan was a bit tricky, and the track loops didnkt quite connect, but it was close enough to help me figure out what track to order.

Now, about 2 years later, I want to design a new layout. Unfortunately, it seems the app doesn’t respond as well, and there hasn’t been an update in quite a while. I’m trying to design a small layout for a fixed dimension piece of remnant plywood, and I’m having difficulty even setting the boundary dimensions, let alone start the track design.

I hope the developers haven’t moved on, and will update the app soon.

Does not work on iPad Air

Downloaded and selected peco n guage code 80 track. 1st track selects but then app locked up . Tried several times but same result

Wrong geometry for minitrix

This could be a good piece of software with some work but for the track I was using the geometry is off quite a bit.

Garbage

Waste of money. The editor does not work. Cannot rotate pieces. Would give it zero stars if I could.
