User reviews

Abzocke

Die Datenbank wurde von dem verstorbenen Herrn Ranfft -nennen wir es mal- übernommen. Damit wird mit wenig Eigenleistung Kasse gemacht. Ganz schlechter Stil. Herr Ranfft hatte seine Daten kostenlos zur Verfügung gestellt. Ich wäre bereit gewesen einmalig 5€ für die Programmierung der App zu zahlen.

Response from developer

The app and majority of information is available in free plan, you don't have to pay 5€ to use it. Only some optional advanced info/features which required a lot of work to implement additionally are available behind paid subscription plan with two weeks free trial period. The database is much more improved, has more info, is more reliable and is constantly updated compared to original Dr. Roland Ranfft database.

The application has a huge potential. Recommended!!

I came across it by accident and immediately downloaded and bought a subscription. This application is the dream of any watchmaker. There's a lot to strive for, of course, it's new. But a lot of work has been done. The app is useful for both beginners and professionals.
