Does anybody happen to know whatever happened to Touch Cab?

My old iPhone has been replaced and now I can’t find Touch Cab in the App Store.Crying

Like the old saying goes, technology - one step forward and two steps backward.LOL

Marklin stopped supporting all of their mobile apps a number of years ago, and they were dropped from the app store. Unless you have it from a backup of your old phone, you might not have many options.
Regards,
Jim

I have almost all Märklin and mostly HO, although I do have a small number of Z gauge trains!
So many trains and so little time.

Hello Jim,


Thank you for answering my post.

Now I know Touch Cab is in the history bin. Blink

Actually, it was because the Developer, Jens, did not have the time to maintain the application. Jens is a member of this forum so he might even pop into this thread.

I do see on the Touchcab homepage (https://touchcab.com/) that a 3rd party organisation claim to have taken over development and support for Touchcab but there's no where on the site to download or otherwise gain support (confirmed by Jens in the thread in the below 2nd link)

El Capitan Offline is Jen's new forum profile

There are other alternates such as CS2Remote and CS3Remote but you'll have to ditch your Crapple phone for that!

Have a look at ”RailEvos” in Applestore.

You can also look for "RailControl Pro Mobile" in Appstore.

I am not an Apple user myself, but a member in our model train club has found this, and it seems to work well.

I know it works for Märklin CS3

Best regards

If you are using a CS3/3+ have you tired the web browser based control app built into the CS3 software?

Yes.
I am using the browser on my Android tablet to control the train's on the CS3.
But if you are using an iphone or iPad, and there are more than 250 lokomotives in the list, then the loading stops and will not finish and can not be used.
I have been told that this is due to an software error in IOS 15.

Best regards

I’m using the ESU ECoS and Touch Cab really worked well with it.

@PerR The creator of RailControl Pro here. I found this thread through a Google search 😉
Happy to hear you are using the app in the club! I'm always happy to get feedback.
Regarding the error with a 250+ loc library: feel free to get in touch, and let's see how we can fix this!
