Z21 mobile for Android
Fantastic. Can be used instead of me building a new control panel. Also I use it over the internet
Cannot transfer layout from tablet to phone either with email or sd card
Z21
Could not control with another brand wifi router, not like the old z21 white
A little fiddly so sometimes but it's perfect for double heading and sound locos
I hope you put more buttons for functions "F"... more loco's/decoders had 29 function for it.
This is a neat and friendly app - one or two bugs that one can work around. The consisting seams to need some polishing. If deleting the locos and adding others, the train is available but nothing works - one has to create a new train with a new name. Also, the function commands are only sent to one loco (movement and direction is ok). This means that the consist CVs in a decoder are of no use.

App crashes on screen rotation when a loco is active. Happens when rotating from or to landscape display on tablet; not tested on mobile phone yet. Otherwise great app.
Works great and has good functionality.

Ever since beginning this app is the way; either w.the phone or tablet. Never problems. Each update gives satisfaction. For those w. issues; always first export yr data after changing or adding loco's; then w. an future app update you always can import it back if yr data was gone wrong. BACKUP is the word... :)
Not possible to edit controls in layout edit mode - no buttons visible. Useless app with this bug. Lenovo A6000, Android 4.4.4
Import / export not working on Android devices. So unable to transfer locos from tablet to phone. Export to email hangs, and export to SD card puts it in a hidden protected folder, so can't copy manually.
The app had compatibility issues with Android 6 for 4-5 months before it was updated with 0 support replies!
Awesome
The application is fine and the basics work straight away. However, there are settings there that perhaps only "experts" know what they mean and how to set them. The "Advanced Settings" tab in Loco settings is dead. And there is no guidance provided in the Z21 User Guide for these settings, no help in the application itself. One of the main advertised feature of Z21 is that it will be possible to update software and sounds in Zimo decoders from a smartphone. However this is nowhere to be seen on my Android phone. Not smart enough, Roco. Don't charge full price for half-baked product.
A great system.. which i use along side the ecos... A few bugs...but they will be ironed out on updates. ... Jim
The one or two little bugs are greatly outweighed by the useabillity of this great software/hardware combination. Superb if you are into DCC sound. I bought one and now 4 other members of my club have bought a Z21 as well, nuff said!
Works very well on Android. The odd bug - consisting direction not being used definable for each loco, bur otherwise simple, easy to use and reliable.
quick control of my trains on diorama.
Best or nothing
This app has great flexibility works with any android device. Its easy to share configurations and even seem tp allow more than one controller per train. A few more user tweeks will really make this a difficult one to beat.
Ich würde mich freuen wenn ihr noch einen Betriebsstundenzaehler mit einbringen koenntet der mir anzeigt wieviele Stunden die jeweilige Lok gelaufen ist....das wäre klasse!!
Why can you find this by typing in loco roco???

I wish the whole Z21 Team same merry (frustrated) Christmas as I have after update to V2.3.1 since SW V0.9.7 (published from 'Digitale Modellbahn' 01 2013 it is know'n that update is erasing Lok's & Setup - more than a Year later nothing changed and I lost 4 Lok's and ALL my Pictures out of 20 - but many thanks to the Developer (and the Manager) that I have now within every of my private, public, home & other 'Anlage' a "Demo Lok" where I don't know what I should do with this (as mentioned within FAQ's it is easy to create own Lok') instead of investing 3 days of Development to give us User an Option to Import our Lokbiliothek from Rocomotion with only Basic Fields or Descriptions now my only choice is to invest 5 Hours before 24th to (again) take my Pictures from all 20 Lok's (and I don't know how this will work when I have inserted all my 73 Loks) to be able to Play with my grandchild under the Christmas Tree
It works, but PLEASE put all the programming functions behind a user definable password or pincode or at least let us disable it in the application settings so that i don't have to worry about mishaps when guests/kids are playing!

by R####:
Since a forced update from my provider to Android 6, the App crashes uncontrolled after a few minutes and make it impossible to control trains. I contacted Roco support but after over a months no results, only automatically generated emails. Export and import in older devices also do not work, have over 70 Loco in it and will not do all the work again. I'm sorry to say but with the lack of support I will change the system and sell the Z21 black.
