Wi-Fi DCS 4+

This is a good app for running with the DCS Explorer (ready to run train sets). My biggest grip is the layout isn’t very kid friendly. Would like a main screen that locks in so the little ones don’t constantly slide the screen left/right and select other functions than the basic controls.

Also, why not allow control of some of the advanced engine functions with the DCS Explorer?! Sheesh, I have a premium engine that I need to buy all the stuff for a full layout just to access some of the sounds and features embedded!

I am using the Premium APP on an iPhone 7 Plus. It is easy to program the APP to run Lionel & MTH Locos. Just follow the easy to follow prompts. I am operating over twenty locos with this APP on four main lines and from sidings. The soft keys are a lot better over the old hand held controller because each soft key has a description of what it does.

I would highly recommend this MTH DCS Wi-Fi APP for your layout. Start with the free APP and when you are ready purchase the Premium APP and you will have fun running your trains and so will visitors to your train room / layout.

Wonderful app. Nothing is perfect, but ALL MTH functions flawlessly. Most of Lionel command engines also do well. Why complain? If you are stuck on Legacy equipment, then use Lionel’s programming.
I am having so much fun running my system on an iPad. Great interface. Good response. Full features.
If you want to have great control, and a heck of a lot of fun, take the plunge. As a former Lionel postwar collector and MTH concert, quit complaining. If it doesn’t meet your expectations, then either you are doing something wrong or you need to get a component replaced.
Well done, MTH. Period.
