ClayLaneCut Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 This may be of interest regarding the track plans on the new Z21 app. I was having a lot of problems creating the layout on my iPad using my fingers, when suddenly I remembered I have an Apple Pencil.its a lot more accurate, but you need to rotate points etc using finger and thumb, so if any of you have a ‘pencil’ use it! Hope this is of help ClayLaneCut Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this is of help ClayLaneCut Rotating points is even easier if you hold the pencil on the point and use a finger to do the rotating. The finger doesn't have to be near the point, so making it much easier to see what's going on :-) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I reported the POM issue through the app to Roco at 11:15 and they acknowledged the issue at 14:20 saying they have passed it onto the developers - if everybody reports it then there is more chance of it rising to the top of the bug list and getting fixed - it's now up to you to report it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 I've reported the POM issue today via the App too 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Graff Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) I reported both the POM and the lack of a turntable symbol in the control station. That was a couple of days ago, and still no automated reply though? Edit, it arrived, I had mailed it from my Gmail account which I don't look at so very often....

NickC Posted April 17, 2018 Share Posted April 17, 2018 I’ve just had an email from Roco saying there will be a new version of the Z21 firmware (v1.32) at the end of the week to cure the POM issue 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Graff Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Yes, I received the same mail: Thank you for your e-mail and your feedback to our new Z21-App. We have forwarded your suggestions to our developers. The new Z21-App is constantly evolving and also the database of our models is continuously extended. For the POM-Programming there will be another update soon. We hope to have helped you with our answer and wish you much pleasure with your hobby, the model railway. But no timeframe for the update? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WIMorrison Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Isn't fixed on iPhone either - but we do get Stop written under the blue connectivity line - isn't that useful? last comment was rhetorical - or sarcastic, take your pick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 So v1.32 of the Z21 firmware and v1.0.5 of the iOS App now available. Have installed both but haven’t had a chance to see, if between them, the fix anything. Might get a hour tomorrow... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M Graff Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I've updated the app, and apart from the above and some cosmetic changes, i.e. the light orange theme and stop in writing, there's not much else... The POM is still inoperable, even with Railcom plus equipped locomotives. Strange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Now I’ve upgraded both the Z21 firmware and the app, POM seems to be working better for my Zimo decoders but still doesn’t work for my Lenz or TCS decoders. Oh well, time to submit another bug report. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Still crashes on iPad 2 and iPad 3 most of the time also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Kettlewell Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 It seems entirely too buggy for me and I can't see many or any significant advantages over the previous version, everything I needed worked fine. At the moment I'm seriously inclined to go back to the earlier version, at least for a while perhaps until they get it sorted out. Not too impressed that all these problems haven't been ironed out prior to issue.. Cheers ...Alan Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The new app does crash occasionally on my iPad 2 especially when switching from one page to another. It crashes far less often, if at all, on my iPad mini 4. Apart from POM not working, everything else seems to work reasonably well and I have grown to like the new User interface, especially the layout control pages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickC Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 (edited) V1.0.6 now available for IOS. It doesn’t appear to add any new functionality or fix any of the bugs I’ve reported though. :-( Edited May 9, 2018 by NickC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M Graff Posted May 12, 2018 Share Posted May 12, 2018 The latest update only fixed the locomotive image function, nothing new with the POM issue... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junctionmad Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I wonder if they will make the IP address of the Z21 user editable ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIMorrison Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I wonder if they will make the IP address of the Z21 user editable ? How can they make something that you can change already any different? You can change the Z21 IP address to whatever you want by using the Z21 Maintenance App, and in the Z21 App you change the address of the Z21 to whatever you changed it to in the Maintenance App. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

GR1947 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Hello everybody Only recently joined this site best thing I ever did. I am getting my head around sketching my layout what a brilliant upgrade. However as I am adding new points they are numbered starting at 5 how do I change the number as I need to do this so I can address them on my dcc concepts AD-S8sx. I guess really it's no big deal I will just start at 5 just wondered if there was a way around it. Have a good night all Roy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
