Twixt Time App Reviews

Works just fine!

I dont understand the negative reviews. The app works just fine with watches that have a seconds hand on a subdial! Youre given the option to choose between no seconds, central seconds, and subdial seconds. Ive used it on both quartz and mechanical watches, too. Id like the entry process to be faster. It can sometimes take a few tries to line everything up... Maybe it would be nice to have a slider that moves each piece once you place the axis of rotation.

Great app.

Absolutely love this app. It’s hard to keep track of multiple watches (as I don’t own any winders), but that’s mostly due to me not keeping them wound. The app itself is simple to use and very straight forward. It’s a massive improvement over Kello, which I was using until this app came out.

Need to have reset option

Works well but what do you do if you manually change your watch to the correct time?

Tedious, inaccurate

I didnt think it was possie for them to make an app worse than Kello, but they did. This is very tedious to use and very inccurate. You have to take a photo of your watch and manually located the cetner, 12 oclock, hour, minute and second hands on the screen...repeat to get a reading. After all that, it said a mechanical watch of mine was runnning at +12 minutes per day---which is not even in the ballpark. A real timegrapher shows it is running ~+4 seconds. Dont bother with this one.

Very cheap build. Doesnt work.

You basically take a photo of your watch and then tell the app where the center of the hands are and then draw the angle of each hand. You do this a few times over the course of a few days and it tells you how fast/slow your watch is. Unfortunately, The app doesnt work properly. The points are very hard to drop accurately without moving you finger slightly and you cant zoom in to do a better job. Even when you do a decent enough job, the reading still seems off by a few minutes a day. I tested a few watches against a real time grapher and the results were all over the place after a good hour of tinkering. Not to mention the crashing. After a few tries, the app refused to start up the camera and just stayed on the aperture graphic until I force closed it and restarted my phone a few times. Not worth $4.99. I wish I could get a refund.

Great app

Works well, very accurate. Worth the 5 dollars if you are into watches and keeping time. Didnt have any problems awesome app.

Too soon?

I just got this app yesterday and have used it for three watches. Since its only been one day it might be too soon to post a review. Nevertheless, here we go. The app looks great but is a little difficult to use. Its tough to drop the markers on the watch face without moving them a little, which of course impacts the accuracy of the app. Also Im not sure its accurate at all. I have one watch that I KNOW is fast, if anything, and the app shows it as being -30 secs/day after one day.

Do not buy this app!!!

This app is a complete waste of money, it does not work properly. I tried it on two watches and both gave incorrect timing. On one, I tested it and it told me the watch was 53s fast. I retried it again two minutes later. and it said it was 41seconds slow! These guys are scam artists. Complete waste of money.

Simple and effective tool for amateur horologists

This app uses the iPhone clock (that uses an internet atomic clock) to determine the accuracy of any analog timepiece by comparing photos of the watchs timekeeping over a few days. Very simple and clever. I dowloaded it to see if I needed to regulate an automatic Seiko after the first two or three weeks of continuous use.

As Advertised

Works very well, simple system to capture and record data. I record multiple timepieces with this. I ran against my machine results and it seems about 1-2 sec accurate

Its great but you should be able...

... to delete individual snapshots in edit mode.

Not accurate at all

Solely dependent on the user being able to line up all the points required accurately. You can suddenly be off several tenth of a second by simply lifting your finger off the screen

Needs work

The app was working almost OK, after a change of daylight saving, started giving strange results, even though I deleted all the history and started anew, bad results again :-( Besides this issue, I think entering time by digits is much faster than aligning beams ro hands.

Poor UI, inaccurate results

It’s really a good idea gone bad in terms of execution. No export info option, no edit option, and even though support claims you dont have to wait 24 hours between snapshots, it really DOES make a difference. The app seems to average the accumulated +/- seconds by the accumulated number of days (obviously 24h) instead of total running hours between snapshots. REALLY needs improvement.

Doesnt work at all

This app doesnt work at all. It doesnt seem to be able to access the camera to take pictures. It used to work because I used it before but has regressed. Avoid

Very nice!!

This app works like a charm. Ive used it on various watches and clocks and it does ALL it says. My go to watch monitor. Well done.

Needs an update

Ever since Daylight savings time ended, the accuracy measurement is off. I have an Radio Controlled watch thats dead accurate because it syncs every night with WWV. Twist says this watch gains 43.2 secs per day. Something is really wrong. Pls update app.

Nice but...

Nice app but... I would like to be able to delete a snapshot It would be handy to have a "reset" button when you manually adjust the time on your watch

No luck so far

I am having trouble getting app to work. I carefully place the markers to the hands. Im connected to Internet. I am in different time zones each time. The app is showing off by hours, which is obviously not right. I will keep trying
