The app is great for kids since it uses a smartphone. It's a great app for home use. However it couldn't replace the Legacy 990 remote. One downside to the app is that it can't run multiple locomotives in a lash up. It can only connect to one locomotive. Also have to be careful running Lionel Legacy locomotives with Bluetooth in public at trainshows. The Bluetooth switch should be turned off. It's possible to hijack a Lionel Bluetooth locomotive with the app if someone is using a Legacy 990 controller. The app over rides the controller. I proved this when I hijacked a North Penn O gauge members locomotive using the app. He was cool about it and I interviewed him afterwards. Last I was disappointed when Lionel quit supporting the app for Android devices that is for the WiFi camera cars. The app is now Apple only. I hope this doesn't happen to Bluetooth in the future.
Don't Underestimate This 0-6-0 Its A Brute. Great Engine.

This is good for first-time users of all ages. The Cab-3 app should be able to do almost everything the 990 does.
