96RAF Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 The HM | DC app has been fettled and sent to the store, but may not pop up as available for a day or so.The fettle is to allow the app to appear on certain phones. Existing users visiting the store may see an update for the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew-376496 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Just jumping on this thread in case there is any updates if that's OK...! I bought my young 'un the set which comes with the HMDC - we all have samsung devices... can only get one device to connect and it disconnects too frequently for it to be 'fun'. Interestingly the device the partly works is running android 10, all the others are 12 or 13... I had thought about just getting a manual controller, but I'll hold off if there looks like there might be a fix? Just a tad annoying all this - his only 8 and this was his fav present over Xmas, but not able to play with it... I even thought about getting a set with manual control but this sounded a bit more modern! O well... cross my fingers for something to happen in the app...

96RAF Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 You could pick up a cheap manual controller to keep his interest until the app is fixed. The locos will run fine under normal analogue control.It was very unfortunate that fixing it to work for a minority of users broke it for an awful lot of other people. Timing couldn’t have been worse with both Hornby and their developers on Xmas break. I suppose Murphy or the Grinch are laughing their heads off at the chaos they caused.

Andrew-376496 Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 Thanks - yes, going to keep an eye out on local for sale just in case there is one available...I don't think his interest will be lost he does love it all - he still has all his old Brio stuff and I suspect when it all gets fixed he will be on it a lot, but every silver lining - it gives him time to actually clean his room. I can't really have it on the living room floor for ever...! Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
