Lionel Cab3 4+

(Note: this is an updated review from the previous one that I had made) After a few weeks of tinkering with the app. I managed to figure most of the features that are on the app. However I managed to find most of the Base3’s functions through a source outside of the initial Base3 instruction manual on Lionel’s app. It was very tedious to try to figure it out on my own. Most of the features on the app work for the most part albeit with a few bugs here and there. If there was one thing I would improve with the Base3, it would be the instructions on how to set it up and how to use the functions it has. Along with fixing a few bugs that are present in the app I think that the Base3 would be better if it had those two things resolved with it.

When in Bluetooth mode and you slide the page over to adjust sounds the throttle jumps down to zero and then back up to the speed you had set every second and makes the locomotive act on those commands. Bringing the engine to a stop and then back up to speed and then back to stop and so on. Also in Bluetooth mode when operating multiple locomotives when you swipe to change between engines the throttles zero out. The locomotive doesn’t slow down but as soon as you touch the throttle slider the engine will come to a stop and you have to reset you speed again. Kind of annoying on running locomotives that cost $1,600.

This app has the potential to get great, however there are bugs and glitches with the app. Unfortunately with Lionel being a small company they are painstakingly slow at getting updates out.
