User Reviews

Users appreciate the Z21 mobile app's functionality for programming and controlling model trains, notably replacing dedicated hardware throttles and supporting remote use. However, multiple reviews report crashes on certain Android versions, especially post-update, along with problems importing/exporting layouts, compatibility issues with WiFi routers, and bugs in turnout control and layout editing. Despite these issues, enthusiasts find the app generally useful, calling for ongoing improvements and expanded function controls.
