This app gives you a good overview of your model train collection. You can store all values (gauge, class…) of your models in this app. But not only the information of the model can be stores. Also the dates of the original can be administered. Normally, only the actual information will be shown. With this app, you see also the history. For the model, this means that you can enter all changes (repair, modifications…). And for the original, the whole life-cycle can be shown. This app is designed for the iPad and iPhone. But with xMoVe, Mac-MoVe, Win-MoVe and Lin-MoVe, there are apps for the desktop computer. With the mobile app, you can manage the values on the road. And when you are at home, you are able to enter values very easy with your desktop computer. With the integrated synchronization, you are able to keep both systems always up to date. You get the desktop app from http://www.mcrichter.de In detail there are the following features: - Several track gauges can be used. - Up to four pictures can be stored for each model. - The history (maintenance, repair, retrofit...) of each model is available. - All spare parts are stored. - Information about the original is recordable. - The life cycle of the original is available. - Synchronization between mobile app and desktop program. This application is based on the "iMoVe" that has been available for a long time. In order to integrate all current and future functions of iPhone and iPad, we had to rewrite the application. However, data from the previous application "iMoVe" can be taken over. Note: When starting the first time, data for the gauges H0 and N will be entered. Also only some example values for the default values are visible. You are able to add or change these for your collection.
