Finally
This simple app shouldn't be so hard to find. My god it's just a low frequency hertz meter. It works perfectly. Hopefully it's accurate. Saved $49 from the other option
Tolle App für Pendulen und …
andere Pendeluhren.. Das Einzige, was mir fehlt ist eine akkurate Anzeige der Beat-Frequenz - gemeint ist: wenn das Pendel nicht gleichmäßig läuft, sieht man das zwar im durchlaufenden Display, aber man hat keine Regulierungsmöglichkeit dafür. und ein gleichmäßiger Pendelschlag ist eine Grundvoraussetzung für eine genau gehende Uhr.. Vielleicht lässt sich das noch implenentieren?!? Trotzdem gibt es volle 5 Sterne dafür.

Missing?
My app would be more helpful if it showed the level indicator. How can I install this please?
Great timepiece audio analyser
Got this to calibrate a few old stopwatches and clocks. It works super well. Gives instant readings of accuracy instead of just long winded trial and error. It’s important to get the gain and threshold set right plus phone positioning relative to timepieces. Quiet environment helps also. It simply listens to the tick tock then gives you the data you need. Fantastic app. Thanks.

Grandfather Clock
Once I realised how to set up a 2 second pendulum, very helpful app indeed to calibrate our 160 year old long case clock!
Delightfully simple!
The app allowed me to get my Garrard back in beat in a few minutes. Well worth the tiny price of the App.
Love this app but….
Ok, I run a clock repair business ( side hustle) I could buy a MicroSet for £500 but this little app tells me the period of the escapement, BPM, BPH and also lets you know what the time keeping is.
My Only question is to the designer of the app, I’m using an IPhone 16, and tried to connect an external microphone , but it wouldn’t work with the app, so can you use an external microphone with this app or not ?
Balancing my iPhone on top of a longcase clock isn’t best practice, please let me know

A must have for cuckoo clock owners
This app makes putting a cuckoo clock in time so easy. Everyone who owned a cuckoo clock should have this app.

Hi, I was so happy to hear that my app was helpful for you. This is exactly why I developed it to help other clock owners. Thank you for the review. I’ll appreciate if you could refer other relevant users to this app. Thanks, Nir
Works fine
Only good one I good find, and only £1. The others won’t pick up the noise. Here I can adjust how sensitive it is to each noise manually.
It tells you whether it’s levelled or not, beats consistency and it has a nice design overall. I like that the pendulum for the cuckoo clock swings as it hears the beats.

Perfect calibrator!
Has just the right tools to adjust pendulum rating nut and mechanism level. Simple to use. Well done!
Just what I was looking for
This app is nearly perfect. It is sensitive and allows you to set the gain and detection threshold to overcome room noise. Only 2 things that would improve it:
1) Plot the period over a few minutes to see the stability of the escapement
2) Allow reference periods over 1 second, my buco clock has a target period (half swing) of 1125 milliseconds, and a full return to start period of 2250 ms, with 25 pins on the escapement wheel.

Really useful
Used app to even out the tick on a church clock. Shows up as percentage level. So easy to use. My only slight grumble is the font for the level text could be bigger. These ancient eyes struggled to read the print inside the little icon. Thanks all the same.
Marvellous
This app works extremely well, I can’t recommend it enough. I have a French clock which has a really quiet tick but just with the iPhone microphone in the right place I was able to get it spot on level which enables the clock to work as they can be really sensitive to being out even by a very small amount.

Doesn’t work.
Waste of money. I’ve tried it many times on different clocks, you get it saying it’s nearly perfect and the next day it’s ten minutes fast or slow or whatever. Doesn’t work at all
Response from developer
I’m sorry for your disappointment, but are you sure that the selected reference timing is the relevant one for your clock movement? The app itself is very accurate in measuring the clock ticking period but without the correct reference the adjustment wouldn’t work.
Perfect timing
This is a very well-made and genuinely useful app. I love how you can add profiles for different clocks that you own, too. I was able to get my over 100 year old Seth Thomas mantle clock ticking within a 0.04% margin of error (which is about 5-7 seconds off per day).
If you have vintage clocks, I definitely recommend this app!

Great App, exactly does what it says
As a test I went round all my modern battery clocks and the tick consistently on all of them is perfect.
I’m trying to diagnose what’s going on with my old mantle clock to try and decide if I can sort out the problem myself. I’m finding my readings are inconsistent and range from around 80% level up to 97% level over about 28 seconds.
This cycle repeats over and over. I notice the ticks get quieter when the percentage drops suddenly.
I’m wondering if you have ever thought of including a record or logging function so I could post my results to a forum for others to view.
They could play my recording back in their copy of the app?
Just a thought. Great program just the way it is
Well done!

Thank you very much for the review and the feedback. Regarding the recording feature, the easiest way is to simply record your clock sounds using the iPhone voice recorder, and play it on a second phone while running the app on your iPhone. You can also send the recording to anyone else, though he would need 2 phones... I was actually doing this many times during the development of the app, works quick good.
Excellent but needs some slight changes
This is a great app for regulating a mechanical clock…not just cuckoo clocks, as the name would suggest! You do need to find out the proper beat frequency of the clock movement you’re trying to regulate (usually 60 BPM for grandfather clocks, but varies widely for other clocks).
I have three requests that would make the app perfect for me:
—please allow a frequency of 60.000 BPM! I don’t know why the app doesn’t allow this. I use 60.001 BPM for my grandfather clocks, which is close enough, but it’s kind of annoying to have to do so.
—you should really repackage/rename this app to be for all mechanical clocks, not just cuckoo clocks. The cuckoo clock animation is cute, but I think more people would purchase the app if it were clear that this can be used for all mechanical clocks
—it would be wonderful if the app would save the data once a measurement is completed. Making a slight noise to pick up the phone or to take a screenshot completely disrupts the completed measurement, and it disappears.
Thanks for a great app!

Can’t beat it for $0.99
Dials in a clock incredibly accurately.
Не рекомендую
Своих денег не стоит. Невозможно что-либо настроить при помощи приложения.
Good App for a fair price
It does what it promises. The regula movements are also supported but only a very few of them. Also the mathematics behind the deviation seems to be buggy sometimes.
