Thank you!

Grateful for the years of having this useful app. Best wishes to you guys!

Is it true?

Are these apps going away?

Any comparable app?

This will soon shut down. Does anyone know of a similar app?

Great little app that just does the job

Have been using this app for years (amazingly down to one watch now after many years of addiction). Once you understand how it works, it just simply does the job. Love the quirky little design on the main screen.

Great app

I’ve been using it to set my mechanical watches for years.

Excellent NTP receiver

And the developer updates even after 13 years! Amazing.

Freaking BEAUTIFUL!

This app is on every iOS device I own. It's PERFECT. It displays the simple, hyper-accurate time of day, but can also show me the geeky parameters I occasionally want to see in order to examine the results critically. It starts fast, locks into accuracy as quickly as Internet conditions allow (usually <5 sec) and has an elegant primary time display. Love it!

Handy Time Reference

Excellent utility for synchronizing and adjusting the time for all our clocks and devices. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Still fantastic

Still a fantastical stable app with the latest version of iOS 13 and the iPhone 11 Pro Max. Fantastic app.

Perfect NTP tool

Didn’t expect such ntp tool available on iOS

I use it for my clocks and it’s free

It gets its time from internet atomic clocks and you use it to set your clocks, up to the millisecond, and it’s free.

It’s great, 10/10.

What are you still doing here? Download and use it!

So Usefull

I have been using Emerald Time for a couple of years, mainly to precisely set my wristwatch and all of the clocks in my house, to the second. It is extremely accurate. The display on my I-phone is easy to see, and keeps on running accurately as I go around the house setting all of the clocks and appliance time displays. I used to use the WWV atomic clock shortwave radio but Emerald Time is admittedly easier to use, and just as accurate. Thank you for creating this App. BTW, Emerald Geneva is also frequent go-to for lunar and astronomical event tracking.

One tweak needed

This app needs support for landscape orientation esp when phone is plugged in since apple puts
The charge port on bottom so cord is in the way when using phone while plugged in.

Awesome app!!

Just what I needed thanks!!

So Handy! Genius.

My house is populated with both weight driven pendulum and spring wound striking clocks of different kinds. Weekly winding day also requires having an accurate time standard to check variations in timekeeping and make small adjustments. I have a tall standing clock ("grandfather") that I usually have adjusted to accuracy of 2-6 seconds a week. Some times of year when temperatures shift means pendulum lengths have to be adjusted. This app really works great!

Also, I have companion parrots and being able to control the audible sounds available (or shut them off) means I don’t have my feathered kids learning more beeps and boops.

The perfect clock

It tells you the exact time--no more, no less. Simple, accurate, to the point. Has a red-light night-time mode. Works in both portrait and landscape mode (on iPads). What's not to like?

Great Clock - Lousy Night Display With No Landscape Mode

Core app for time sequencing is great. The night time display mode is what drags this app down. It will not go into landscape mode for the nighttime display. Developers seem to not be on the job and engaged in this app. Reviewer from a year ago reported on this. All iPhones have power connection in bottom of phone which prevents a user from positioning for easy middle of the night time reading. Fix this flaw and I will change to 5 stars immediately. I hope developers get this and comeback to fix this.

great app

landscape mode would be 5/5 star

The Best

Don’t pay for an accurate time app. This is the BEST, hands down. Not only does it give you the most accurate NST, it also shows you how much your phone’s clock deviates from the REAL time.

Exactly as advertised.

This does exactly what it says it does, and does so with simple elegance.
