Locontrol - DCC Controller

This app is good for people without controllers. It is a very nice app. I appreciate this game. Make ads to promote your app like others do. Please make categories and lists of train types. I recommend this app for controlling your trains. If the developers of this app read this, they should reply to this comment immediately. 4 stars!

Whereas the app does what it’s says, control a locomotive, it’s currently very basic such that I can’t recommend it, primarily because of the following:- 1 Due to the fact that you can’t run more than 1 loco with the 30 day free trial, which fails the user to trial running situations such as managing control of 2 locos or more simultaneously when using the Apps touch screen functions/commands. 2 Bearing in mind 1, there is no way of establishing how consists can be created/separated, if at all possible, and how the function keys work on the selected locos, which for me is important as I bank many of my trains, or double head. 3 As a result of 1&2, the possible future user/owner is not being given assess to the Apps full potential, features that might be hidden by the free trial. 4 Function keys should be editable, as sadly in the case of sound functionality, assigned features vary dramatically function key to function key. eg, I have locos where brake application has been allocated to F2 not horns as depicted by your App. Not withstanding that, here in the U.K., F1 normally switches sound “on or off”, not bells. 5 I use Decoder Pro, so why can’t the App be configured to read my roster file and add same to its memory automatically, rather than having to add locos manually. Having said that the Function Labels could also be uploaded. 6 Means to flip the loco control slider to the right hand side of the Function Keys thus catering for all users and making the App more user friendlier. On the plus side I like the integrated photo / video options, and the general appearance although the picture section I feel should be smaller giving way to more space for the Function key area.

Poor. Don’t see what it offers over WiThrottle.

I tried the ip address and road number i doesn’t work

Well, this app has great potential, but it has its issues that are extremely annoying. For example, when switching between locomotives, the app will disconnect from DCC and shut the engine off along with the lights. If you let your phone or tablet’s screen turn off, you will lose connection and you have to reconnect, you will temporarily lose control of your trains. Is it worth a buck a month? Yes just as long as the bugs are worked out and the disconnect issues are addressed.

Great App and user control but you cant consist engines together under one throttle. great app for a simple user

Appreciate the 30 day trial.

Won’t connect to my Wi-Fi.

Super basic DCC controller. You can select locos and control them individually, but there’s no way to creat a consist, which seems like a basic feature that should be present. Maybe worth $.99 total, definitely not per month.

Really nice interface. Pretty strait forward. Be able to record while I’m controlling my Loco, it’s awesome!!!
