WiThrottle App Reviews

I've been using WiThrottle since June 2015, and have yet to be disappointed. At times, the app is more reliable than the NCE throttles used by my club, and it really shows.

I love to control my Trains on my phone and my Laptop!

This app works extremely well with my digitrax module. Response is immediate and is easier for me to use vice my dt400. I actually prefer my phone as a controller. I am able to control switches as easily as with a digitrax throttle. UI graphics are inconsequential to the operation of the functions and provide excellent responses. Keep the improvements coming.

I have this app running on some older iphones and it works just great. I love the interface. I have absolutely no complaint about this in that respect. This app is my favorite way to run trains. In fact I have sold some of my Digitrax throttles because this is such a great app. But, my iPhone XR running latest iOS will not connect to the server (I am using Digitrax LNWI). It can’t find the LNWI no matter what (even putting in the IP address). If that could get fixed I would be a real happy cam

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 lit

Controls my digitrax system, and just works. Easy to use.

Really great throttle and super easy to use. But need when standing next to an android user iOS version needs some help and quick.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
