Love this App! Don't need a complex throttle. My only issue, when consisting, on the short horn works for lead engine. The long horn and bells work on all engines. This is why I gave 4 over 5 stars.

Good app. But some time it took multiple tries to connect to DCC++ex. With massage "could not connect to 192.168.4.1 port 2560 with 192.168.4.2 . And I have to switch off the CS multiple times to resolve this issue.

I have been using Engine Driver for several years. Fantastic with JMRI. Fantastic. A recent issue was resolved by clearing cache and data storage which does a better job of resetting the app than deleting and reinstalling. Love this app.

Love this app... though the last update is buggy. Running on android Samsung tablet and phone. Will crash as soon as an engine is selected requiring a restart and then it's fine. Will occasionally drive two engines on one road number, requiring to release the engine and reacquire it. Random program crashes with immediate restart but causing potential loss of control of engines during restart. Please fix the new bugs! Program was bullet proof prior to this last update.

Superb app. I was introduced to it by the owner of a large layout, so I could drive one of his trains without hunting for a Lenz controller. My layout is rather more modest, but this, JMRI and a PiSprog is working superbly to operate it.

Simple and easy to use. I run DCC using an Arduino and Raspberry Pi with this app on my phone. It works great. Thank you!!!
