Why would they release an app, before they release a Bluetooth engine that can be controlled by it? None of the engines made to date have Bluetooth. I also highly doubt they built 'bridge' technology (Bluetooth to 2.4Ghz) into the Universal Remote at that price.
The HO polar express is Bluetooth ready.

That's a good point. I forgot about that one, because I am not into HO. However, doubt they would issue an app for one train.

My point is that, if there really is an app (I have not seen an official announcement) it will likely come out at the time they release multiple Bluetooth engines and sets or afterward. Also, don't expect it to run any non-Bluetooth trains they have already released.

However, maybe JGL could build us a bridge? If someone built a $175 Bluetooth to 2.4Ghz bridge that worked with this app, would people buy it?
