BlueTrack Controller
Read full descriptionHide full description
BlueTrack Controller works with BlueTrack Hub to control your HO and N scale Digital Command Control (DCC) model trains and layout with your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch over Bluetooth. The simplified train/consist view allows the speed, direction, and some function outputs of trains and consists to be controlled. The detailed train view allows access to all DCC commands, including advanced programming options. The Main or Programming track output of the BlueTrack Hub can be selected as the destination for DCC commands. Already issued DCC speed commands continue to be sent on the Main track output while the Programming track output is selected. The layout view allows arrangement of layout elements controlled by relay outputs on a photo or schematic of your layout, and assignment of BlueTrack Hub relay outputs to control each layout element. The photo or schematic and layout elements can be individually scaled for optimal arrangement. DCC power can be removed or a DCC emergency stop issued from any view. Multiple BlueTrack Hubs can be connected to control more than 15 relay outputs. Multiple iPhones and iPads may be connected to a single BlueTrack Hub, allowing simultaneous layout operation by multiple users.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BlueTrack Controller at none against Skin Creator's 12. Skin Creator's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
