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 is 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"
android or apple has nothing to do with updating an application. It is the developers choice which platform to make an app for and which platform to provide updates for. Has nothing to do with the platform itself.
I think it does - when it comes to accommodating Apple's iOS updates - and fixing whatever breaks each time they update.
