Too expensive for not getting these basic features!
I like to keep track of my watch accuracy. I thought the idea of using a photo would prove to be easy and very accurate. It turns out you have to manually set the positions of the hands each time. What’s more if it’s in a mid way point it struggles to discern which minute you mean. I also had hoped that it would be automatic and recognise each hand. It doesn’t. There’s nothing automatic about it. Basically there’s far better apps out there like WatchTracker that do it for less.
The app was working well but now it always displays as the time advanced as 12+hrs when it may have only been a few seconds. Sad to see
This app used to be amazing, however now it crashes every time you try to take a picture. Very disappointed! Get Tooltime instead. Developer seem unwilling to fix it. Update September 23,2017: App now crashes every time you try to resize a picture. You take the pic, app blows it way out of proportion (to the point it's nearly unusable), you zoom out to try and navigate m, and the damned thing crashes STILL! Developer is cruel and uncaring, refuses to fix.
I can't figure out how to update my previous low rating review so I'm adding another one. I had some initial technical difficulties and reached out to the dev team. They were very responsive. I've been able to get it working properly and think it's great. Exactly what I was hoping for! I'm enjoying the App but I'm even more impressed by their customer service. Thanks!
Very useful and easy to use. I have used this app for some time now to track the timing specs for all my watches.
Unstable to the point of unusability; clunky design and artificial restrictions on when snapshots can be taken; poor feature set (eg, no way to plot variations over time or review data); overpriced.
This app works like a charm. I've used it on various watches and clocks and it does ALL it says. My go to watch monitor. Well done.
I mean seriously. It's apps were pricey. Pretty lame just to leave one in the dust and come out with a new one. This should have been a feature added to Kello
I am having trouble getting app to work. I carefully place the markers to the hands. I'm 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
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
Ever since Daylight savings time ended, the accuracy measurement is off. I have an Radio Controlled watch that's 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.
This app doesn't work at all. It doesn't seem to be able to access the camera to take pictures. It used to work because I used it before but has regressed. Avoid
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 don't 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.
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.
... to delete individual snapshots in edit mode.
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
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 watch's 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.
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.
I just got this app yesterday and have used it for three watches. Since it's 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. It's tough to drop the markers on the watch face without moving them a little, which of course impacts the accuracy of the app. Also I'm not sure it's 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.
Works well, very accurate. Worth the 5 dollars if you are into watches and keeping time. Didn't have any problems awesome app.
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 doesn't work properly. The points are very hard to drop accurately without moving you finger slightly and you can't 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.
Works well but what do you do if you manually change your watch to the correct time?
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.
I don't understand the negative reviews. The app works just fine with watches that have a seconds hand on a subdial! You're given the option to choose between no seconds, central seconds, and subdial seconds. I've used it on both quartz and mechanical watches, too. I'd 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.
This does not work period. Camera takes forever to come on or just does not. Get errors every time I try to use it such as hands not synchronized and the new one Internet not available. Hopefully, they will clean it up and my $5 bucks LOL will not go to waste!
Lots & lots of "unable to verify time" & hands don't match errors despite a simple 3 hands watch (DSSD), strong wifi/cellular signals & clear, square-on face pics. Camera function works MUCH slower than native 4S camera. After the first few calibrations (identifying the center, 12 o'clock & hands) I was expecting the app to detect the times on subsequent pics of the same watch automatically. Not the case. Calibrating each & every time makes this app more of a (frustrating) gimmick. Simpler to just allow manual entry of time in 10:08:15 format to compare with the camera snapshot time (when it works).
On the average, the app works pretty well. I am tracking 4 different timepieces, all with automatic movements. Once you have a few entries for that timepiece, it averages out to right at what I was calculating by hand, using an atomic clock. The most difficult part is in taking a quality image of the face. You need even lighting, with no glare (like from a lightbulb), and you need to hold the phone "square" to the watch face. You need to be able to see every minute market, regardless of how many you have, with equal clarity and they must all be at the same angle. If you do not accomplish this, the "12:00 marker" will not line up properly and you will notice that the lines for the hands do not fall perfectly in the middle of each hand. If these do not happen, you will receive inaccurate measurements. Should you proceed, despite the problems I described, it will require several measurements before the average works out to be accurate.
For whatever reason, it doesn't seem to be able to accurately measure the daily variation. For example: I used the application to measure over24 hours the error on my watch and it reported losing 1.2 minutes per day. The actual error is around -1s/ day.
Not sure what the two reviewers above are talking about. I own a Panerai w offset seconds and the app works fine. I also tried it on my TAG chrono and it also worked. I'm still not convinced of the accuracy of the app however. Seems a little overpriced as well, but then again so are the watches this app is meant for.
It took more than a dozen shots, with unintelligible errors in between, to take the initial photo of the face of my Monaco. Once the app finally accepted the photo (no idea why it worked, previous didn't), I discovered the app won't work for watches with a separate face for seconds (eg chronos), rendering this app completely useless to me. Great.
