While the basic MTH is free, the $25 is money well spent.
#Lionel icab app update
Regarding the iCab app, the last update was a year ago, while LionChief much more frequent.ĭoes Lionel have plans to make the LionChief their app to run all their engines? It could be a pay app, like the MTH one is. Since I don't have any bluetooth engines yet, I am curious as to what others are doing, as I can't be in that unique of a position, can I? Around my layout I have basic iPad stands / holders such that I don't have to hold the iPad as I enjoy the trains. I want to be able to run my trains from the iPad. It seems to work in the basic functions on the phone, but the iPad version seems at best primitive, unless you are looking to build a layout. I have boosted the antenna but I still find I have several spots on my layout that if I am standing, the Cab2 and base don't communicate (OK easy answer don't stand there - got it) because of walls etc. One of the challenges I have with the Cab2 remote is the effective range of the antenna. iCab includes the most popular features from.
If I look at Lionel and the TMCC/Odyssey/Legacy engines - you have a lot of engines that do not have bluetooth. This App lets you use your Apple device to operate Lionel TMCC and LEGACY engines, accessories and trains. The app is updated on a regular basis, and basically eliminated the use of the remote control. From a comparison perspective the MTH Wi-Fi is great, I love it. I will have one maybe two or three Legacy engines that are bluetooth equipped. I have probably around 15-20 Legacy or TMCC (Atlas primarily) engines, and an equal number of MTH DCS 2.0 or 3.0 engines. I have a question regarding the use of the two apps and am curious as to your views as where the iCab app is headed (or not headed).
