The UI is fiddly and unpolished; one of my three track layout pages came up blank in the app; it often forgets how you had the windows set up; many of the touch areas are small on a 7" tablet, let alone a 5" phone; tapping on two switches at once is interpreted as a double-tap which zooms the layout map, it crashed once when I was zooming a layout map, the layout map zoom doesn't implement pinch-zoom correctly... there's lots of these UI annoyances. But the app has incredibly low latency controlling the trains — you tap a switch, and it changes instantly. You tap a train function, and it takes effect immediately. It connected to the CS2 without any configuration on my part. If you hit the stop button, everything stops instantly. Things that the app doesn't do that you may expect it to: there's no way to edit anything the way you can edit things on the CS2, and there doesn't seem to be any support for the new MFX cabs. In conclusion: as an Android app, it leaves much to be desired. As a Märklin app, it does most of what you need, if not quite everything you might want.
