One - because its one less thing I need to bring to the round robin get together to run some trains.
Two- I will not have to buy additional expensive remotes to have my son or my friends run trains at my house
My only beef is they did not release a android version!
Agree on the Andriod version - not sure why they want to go down the Apple road...
Why would you want to require a 500 dollar device, when a 50 dollar Andriod phone or tablet will work just as well? (especially for kids!)
In my audio engineering world - the best app out there is a 3rd party Android app - the developer is on the ball with updates and new features - by comparison, its been years since Behringer (the mixer manufacturer) has been able to offer an update to the iOS app - causing problems with a small, but vocal minority.
Once you stop thinking about it as a "phone" - you can start to see the beauty of this setup.
I have dedicated Android tablets and phones - just for my audio biz - they are never used as "phones"
