WiThrottle for Negative User Reviews

✓ Not goodIf it would worked I would like it will not log on :(.Banjoman2116Version: 2.4

✓ Unable to Operate JMRI TurnoutsThere is a bug with controlling turnouts which I found out at my club. The app will not allow me to operate turnouts..BOT3925195Version: 3.4.4

✓ Nice but needs updatingNice little app but needs to be updated to keep it functional with jmri. Had to go back to jmri 5.0 because this app would not connect to jmri 5.2.Planeman72Version: 3.6

✓ Works great until you change focus to another app.This app does everything I want as long as my phone doesn't go to sleep or I change focus to a different app. When that happens connection to the JMRI server drops and I have to reconnect. This is a problem if I get a text or phone call or want to look something up while running my loco. Other apps don't stop if they go to the background. Not sure why this one does..Bazzer62Version: 3.6

✓ Not impressedAs so often happens it seems that changes are made just to make changes. This is not an improvement over earlier versions of WiThrottle imho. The earlier versions of WiThrottle we simpler,more intuitive and had a better user-interface. This latest version is not nearly as intuitive and the user-interface is much more clumsy....not too much fun. Overly complex and clunky..Genetk44Version: 2.10.1

✓ Good, but Better UI Would Make it GreatThis is an awesome solution for a low-cost DCC soft throttle, especially when compared to the cost of some of the hard throttles out there. However, the user interface is garish and looks like it was put together with very little attention to the look & feel/aesthetics. Type is of various point sizes throughout and usually not well aligned. Graphics elements are extremely simple colored boxes - no gradients, shadows or anything but 90-degree right angles (everything is a simple rectangle). All of this combines to give the app a simplistic, almost toy-like appearance. It looks to the eye very much like this is an alpha version used for UI art concepting - not a final, marketed product. Really hoping an update comes along to give this awesome, indispensable tool a much-needed facelift..JeepboyVersion: 2.1

✓ Used to work greatWiThrottle (and Lite) will go nuts if you have network set to autodetect. Temporarily disabling wifi and then setting WiThrottle to manually enter network settings will work as a work around. Otherwise, still a great throttle program in need of some attention (updates)..O'GhoulVersion: 2.12

WiThrottle works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact WiThrottle.
