4 at once
This app works great on the iPad. You can control four throttles at one time. On the iPhone I can only control two at a time. It’s a great app.
Missing some key features
Rock solid and reliable but missing some features that are found in other apps such as Engine Driver. Turnouts/Points is missing from the main UI. Night mode and dark mode function to match the system interface would set this app apart from others
No Routes
The app does not handle routes with the MRC Wi Fi module. Unfortunately you do not find this out until you have purchased the full version
Power ON/OFF broken
The interface is reminiscent of my first Fischer Price toy dash board filled with buttons and knobs that all did nothing. Basic but important features such as a power button failed to work. Purchased the full version of the app for the power on/off feature alone only to feel fleeced out of my hard earned $10. Unfortunately this app is underdeveloped with promised but basic features not working at all. Adding insult to injury I was refused any refund after several requests. "Fooled me once" is the worst business model, good luck.

Needs updated for DCC-EX also a Bug
The defacto throttle for iOS. Works great with things like JMRI and Sprog, but it needs updated to support DCC-EX.
There’s also a bug when using DCC-EX where sometimes the horn gets stuck on.
The UI, while functional and easy to read, could use sprucing up.

works great.
awesome app, very simple to use. minor glitchy unresponsive throttle slider for me but otherwise great app. wish it had dcc-ex functions and customizable features like the free android app.
Nice but needs updating
Nice little app but needs to be updated to keep it functional with jmri. Had to go back to jmri 5.0 because this app would not connect to jmri 5.2
Works great until you change focus to another app.
This app does everything I want as long as my phone doesn't go to sleep or I change focus to a different app. When that happens connection to the JMRI server drops and I have to reconnect. This is a problem if I get a text or phone call or want to look something up while running my loco. Other apps don't stop if they go to the background. Not sure why this one does.

Works great on iPad
Love this app! I had trouble understanding how to connect it to the MRC transformer. Sent inquiry to support and heard back the next day.
Great support! Got it connected and am enjoying it very much! The ‘Roster’ is great as I can set up a file for each locomotive and give the function keys a name instead of having to look at a sheet with the function number assignments.

Good app but needs to support way better
This app is great in all with everything you can do with it, but with esu decoders using up to 30+ functions it really limits you with their decoders. If the developers of WiThrottle are reading this please can you support this in the future so we can get past those limitations that we have now.
Excellent and top notch support
I’m using WiThrottle with JMRI v5, a Raspberry Pi and a Lenz LZV200 and it’s seamless
Operating locos and turnouts has never been easier, and as my collection of sound equipped locos increases I’m loving the ability to LABEL function buttons (and hide the ones not in use)

Amazing app. Best $10 I have spent in a long time!
Using with MRC Prodigy Express Squared with Wi-Fi Module. I can see and easily control 4 locomotives from my iPad at one time. No switching screens, no switching back and forth.
Unable to Operate JMRI Turnouts
There is a bug with controlling turnouts which I found out at my club. The app will not allow me to operate turnouts.
Response from developer
There have been no reports of an issue with turnout control. Contact me at the support email link in the "Info" page of the app Settings.
Almost perfect
I pair this with the WiFi track module and train control couldn’t be simpler. The only things that would make this PERFECT for me an the display-type runs I prefer would be if the trains didn’t stop when the app closes (I.e. phone sleeps). Would absolutely make my day if they could solve for this.
It’s great but falls short of the android version.
Really great throttle and super easy to use. But need when standing next to an android user iOS version needs some help and quick.
Works great
Controls my digitrax system, and just works. Easy to use.
Excellent app and speedy update to 3.2.1
Just to make everyone aware when the app was updated to v3.2, once you selected a locomotive address and then selected throttle Tab, I was getting a blank screen and the app was crashing on my iPhone. Please not this was only relevant whilst connected to the WifiTraxx WFD-30 wireless NCE cab bus controller. I contacted support at WiThrottle and subsequently after a few days the revised version 3.2.1 was available. I just wanted to thank Support very much for their speedy update, the app now works well with the WiFi controller.

Great just needs support
Love this app. It just needs a few connection bug fixes again. With JMRI updating Frequently this app needs to update as well. Thanks guys.
Wonderful App
This is the best $10 app I have purchased. This app works seamlessly with JMRI and made my transition to DCC a joy. For anyone interested in the model railroad hobby this is a top notch app because it is intuitive, flexible and works with on most iPad and iPhones. Save time and energy by investing in this first before purchasing more expensive radio stations for wireless control. Beware you will need to invest in some hardware before using this product. It is not a stand-alone app. Do a little homework to maximize the enjoyment.
