Long Awaited
I have no idea how long this app has been around but with a properly adjusted microphone it's all I could ever want. I've build 34 clocks and countless hours working on regulating them. This app makes it painless. Thank you very much!!
Very disappointing
I have an old clock whose tick and tock can be heard in adjacent rooms. Sadly this app can't or won't hear it without an upgrade. Add a clunky interface and 1980's GUI and you get a very disappointing product.
Don't waste your money!
Waste of money! My antique clock is quite loud and is fairly accurate. This app tells me it loses 3min/day - rubbish!
Almost perfect
This app helped me resetting a grandfather clock I had to disassemble and clean & oil. The iPhone ear buds work far better than the internal Mic which is almost useless. A clip-on piezoelectric pickup would be much better still.
They only thing I don't like is that only an absolute delta is shown. It works be most helpful if there was some indication of which half of the cycle was longer/shorter when adjusting the balance. I ended up using a flashing metronome to tell me whether I had to tighten or loosen the pendulum leader offset. Lose one star for this deficiency.
I've tried a couple other apps but this is spot on. I would highly recommend.

Did Not Work For Me
Followed the directions, used the earbud microphone, app did not reliably measure the clock tick. Looks like you would really need the $20 upgrade for this $10 app to really do anything useful.
Works like a charm
For a horologist on a budget this app is great.
No, just don't.
Don't waste your money on this. It doesn't work.
Great tool.
After getting the cable and upgrading it works great with the pickup from my old broken timer. Very accurate and easy to use. The auto calculate function is a great feature. Recommend for any body looking for a nice timer. Price of app and a cable is around $40. A lot less then the cheapest time you can find. They start at $200 and go up.

Very useful! Works as advertised
This has become my go-to app when I'm fine tuning a clock, whether it be a perfect tick-tock or getting it timed to as little gain/loss per day. It has been frustrating in the past as the app didn't support my iPhone 5-5S, I had to resort to an old 4 for it to work. Just tried it on my 6S+ and had no problems!
I haven't upgraded to pro yet but I am interested as I have a piezo microphone with a 3.5" jack and instead of using my small amp next to my phone I'd love to be able to plug it into my phone and reduce the background noise. $20 is hard to swallow though. Now if it were say $5...

Good, not perfect
Very helpful to establish BPM. This is the key parameter.
Projected daily gain / loss inaccurate. On manual, it always reads 59.59 and on auto there appears to be a random reading unless it runs for quite some time.
