Super handy!
Besides looking good, this app does exactly what it set out to do. It’s lets you set “atomic clocks”, the radio controlled and radio synced clocks that should auto set themselves, but appear to never be able to get a signal.
On the phone, I struggled to get it to work, though others online had better experiences with earphones/headphones (big magnets, the cable acting as signal spreader) and some say even an AirPod can work.
I had better experiences with an iPad, but mostly because the speaker is larger. You may also find placing the clock on a poorly shielded Bluetooth speaker might work well also. Turning volume up all the way is needed: I think you need to hear the clicks to make sure enough signal is generated. The sound itself doesn’t really matter, it just implies that a strong enough current is being sent to move the magnet at the right frequency and can get to the antenna of the clock.
It takes a while. Be willing to wait 7-10 minutes get the sync to complete.
The app supports almost every major radio signal format for time that my various watches and clocks expect, including US, Germany, and Japan.
Very nice app! Rare to have one just do what it says it will do.Show lessmwexler

Workaround for WWVB weak signal
NIST station WWVB lost half its antennas in a storm and we lost coverage in Southern United States. This app works! I get it. 20 KHz harmonics coupled from speaker voice coil. Very clever. One small detail is that the clock time is off about 1.5 seconds slow. I work in communications and it would be really great if the program creators would add an offset function to dial the time in exactly. Just give us a setting where we could insert a number, say -1400 ms, to offset the transmitter digital code. Thank you for writing this helpful app. Recommended.Show lessDoc417
Use Headphones
Would not sync using an iPhone 15 speaker, but using Apple AirPod Pro headphones it worked great. Took a few tries but now my Casio watch is set. Tuned off ear detection in Settings so the Airpods would still make noise while sitting on top of the watch. Very happy!Admiral Boom

The app is well designed functionally and aesthetically. It works for my Casio Oceanus 5701 module. I have to place it so that either the bottom speaker or the ear speaker is firing directly into the bottom of my watch. Really convenient for when you can’t access radio reception or don’t want to set it manually. It seems to use the system time, so check that’s accurate.Show lessRidagstran
It does not do Anything.
It doesn’t even produce any sound that supposed to help adjusting time. What is the point of having the speaker volume all the way on when there is absolutely no sound that this app produces. Do not waste your moneyAnDub
Works like a charm!
Got a G Shock GW-M5610U and live on the east coast where it’s difficult to receive the signal even at night near windows. Legit first time using this app, it synced in 5 min. Love it.asdarienheath4
Works on SkyScan atomic clocks!!!
I live in the South Pacific and brought my group of atomic clocks so I could could keep up on times around the world. This app solved my alignment problem and saved me several hundred usd for an “old school” signal generator which seems to fail every 3-5 years. Works perfectly on one or two clocks at a time because they have to be super close to the iPad or iPhone. This is the only drawback that you can’t turn on the generator and align all the clocks on the wall.Show lessPhic7689
