ThrottleCard is compatible with any command station enabled with the WiThrottle Protocol, including JMRI and DCC-EX systems.

A Premium subscription is available for $0.99 per month or $9.99 per year (16% savings), unlocking advanced features like multiple train throttles, support for multiple locomotives in a single consist, game controller functionality, and contributing to the app's ongoing development. A complimentary one-week trial is offered for new users.

The ThrottleCard Watch application mirrors the throttles configured on the user's phone, providing convenient remote control options using the Digital Crown for speed adjustments, along with light, horn, and bell functions. For optimal performance, users are encouraged to adjust the "Return to Clock" settings on their watch to extend the foreground display time of ThrottleCard.

The developers express their commitment to advancing tools for the model railroad community and welcome feedback regarding potential new features.
