### 4/5 — Great app overall

*2026-08-28, version 1.5.1*

Please add ability to remove a watch completely

### 2/5 — Who knows

*2026-07-05, version 1.5.1*

Can't do anything without paying

### 3/5 — Great to catalog, but…

*2026-06-19, version 1.5.1*

This is an application that makes it easy to catalog and share your watch collection with a like-minded community. The interface is lovely.  The timegrapher function, through, is absolutely brutal, bordering on useless. In 100+ attempts across seven watches (using an iPhone 17 Pro Max with the case removed), I’ve gotten three successful readings. It needs significant improvement.

### 1/5 — Inconsistent

*2026-06-17, version 1.5.1*

Tested the same watch fully wound and following the instructions about 10 times in a row and over the course of the day. It was measuring my amplitude from 275-325 and reading anywhere from -4.5 seconds to -.6 seconds per day. Back to back tests showed highly inconsistent results. Alway was in a quiet room during testing. Yes it’s a phone, but if I’m paying a fee I’d hope it be more accurate.

### 4/5 — Potential

*2026-06-09, version 1.5.1*

I’m enjoying the app so far but there are 3 areas for improvement. 1, no profile photos, really? It’s a social app. 2, must add the ability to add manual measurements. The app is always noticeably off from my timegrapher readings. There’s real value in having accurate data where I am tracking my collection. Lastly, price is a bit high for the current offering

### 3/5 — Easy to use, but

*2026-06-07, version 1.5.1*

My only complaint is you can’t remove a watch once added.

### 1/5 — Complete scam and does not function as advertised

*2026-06-05, version 1.5.1*

Completely does not work for any of my watches, tried to use their support and it did not change anything, was absolutely unusable for what it’s advertised for and now it charged me 40 dollars for a year subscription for an app that does not function. Stay away from this app, it does not function as advertised, in my experience it did not function at all for its purpose.

### 1/5 — It’s not working

*2026-06-01, version 1.5.0*

It worked well during the free trial, so I decided to buy it. I’m using an iPhone Pro Max 17, and I tried resetting my phone and restoring the purchase, but it still won’t detect any sound on my watches.

### 4/5 — Good app but…

*2026-06-01, version 1.5.0*

I love the app, but how do you delete watches from your collection? You can’t. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — Unable to get readings on any of my watches with this app

*2026-05-16, version 1.5.0*

I have followed the in app instructions and am unable to get any measurements. I have a iPhone Air, if that helps with troubleshooting the issue. Thanks

### 1/5 — Not worth the price at all.

*2026-05-15, version 1.5.0*

Failed to work several times on different watches.  Repeat attempts to measure in a quiet environment, both on and off the wrist.

### 2/5 — Doesn’t seem accurate

*2026-05-08, version 1.5.0*

Doesn’t seem to be that accurate when predicting the time loss so I doubt how accurate the beat error and amplitude measures are. I have two watches, according to this app, ones loses almost a minute a day and the other less than 10 seconds. However the one that supposedly loses almost a minute a day is actually more accurate. The watches are synchronised to the ‘true’ time and checked on a weekly basis. Both are checked with the app at the same time and same location, so any environmental factors will be the same for both.

### 1/5 — Total waste of time

*2026-09-03, version 1.5.1*

Forces you though a setup including sharing your email, then a tutorial, just to land you at a subscription screen with no options for a trial or use any features without paying

### 1/5 — Not actually free

*2026-08-26, version 1.5.1*

The app advertises itself being a free app but its not, its a $9 per month subscription service.

### 1/5 — Keeps measuring for 10-15 mins

*2026-08-05, version 1.5.1*

Tried 5 times, it just keep measuring but not finishing and giving out a result.They ask $40 for a year or 9$ a month .not worth it

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work most of the time

*2026-08-02, version 1.5.1*

I’ve been getting server error messages every day for a week or so. Unfortunately I paid to subscribe for a year.

### 1/5 — Great app, if you don’t need it to actually work

*2026-07-19, version 1.5.1*

TickIQ’s one job — taking readings from watches, is the exact thing it can no longer do. Everything else? Sure. The actual function I subscribed for? Gone. It just sits there now, a beautiful icon that opens to disappointment.

And before anyone from support chimes in with the copy-paste checklist: yes, I deleted the app. Yes, I redownloaded it. Yes, I restarted my phone. I did the entire IT exorcism ritual. None of it worked, because the problem isn’t on my end, it’s that you haven’t pushed an update in over a month while iOS has moved on without you.

That’s really the whole story here. The iPhone updated. You didn’t. And now paying customers are left with a subscription to a glorified paperweight.

Update the app or stop charging for it. Pick one.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2026-07-17, version 1.5.1*

Junk quality for $9/mo, just buy a timegrapher

### 1/5 — Overpriced and inaccurate

*2026-07-11, version 1.5.1*

Typical misleading app that will advertise as free until you download and purchase then you have to keep upgrading and paying more more to unlock features. Pass

### 1/5 — Waste of money/ time HAHA

*2026-07-08, version 1.5.1*

If you actually want to read the accuracy of a watch don’t base it on this fake app. $40 a year for this garbage is insane also.

### 1/5 — $9 a month for an app chatgpt could make

*2026-06-22, version 1.5.1*

If youre going to spend 9$ a month you might as well invest in a professional timegrapher that will never charge you again and work with factory precision. Installed and deleted as soon as i saw the price lol

### 1/5 — CRUCIAL CAVEAT

*2026-06-22, version 1.5.1*

Placing the speakers of a cellular device on a mechanical watch can magnetize the internal components, thus altering the accuracy of your timepiece. Accuracy may be regained via a demagnetization device.

### 5/5 — Must have for social watch collectors

*2026-09-03, version 1.5.1*

A truly terrific app. As a watch collector without a lot of close friends that are also watch enthusiasts this app gives me a chance to interact with other enthusiasts. The mechanical aspect is also terrific being able to check the health of my watches.

### 5/5 — Amazing community of watch nerds, like me!

*2026-08-02, version 1.5.1*

I got this app to test the movement accuracy of my automatic mechanical watches. Little did I know I’d stick around for the sharing and commenting of daily wrist checks. They keep rolling out new updates and improvements but best of all it’s where watch nerds can unite!

### 5/5 — Nice tool

*2026-07-13, version 1.5.1*

Just needs a quiet room but it seems pretty accurate

### 5/5 — Great way to share your love of horology.

*2026-07-09, version 1.5.1*

Nice app for curating your watch collection and sharing with others.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-09, version 1.5.1*

I have used this for several months and being somewhat of a stickler for accurate time this app is indispensable. It is elegant and extremely functional. I have 5 high end watches, all Swiss made and it   helps me measure their accuracy and overall performance and health. So, if you own a Rolex or other fine watches, you need this app. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-06-13, version 1.5.1*

Great app. Very useful and super easy to use

### 5/5 — Great app and community!

*2026-06-06, version 1.5.1*

This app is great for tracking my collection and connecting with other enthusiasts. And the community is awesome!

### 5/5 — Instagram for watch lovers!

*2026-05-29, version 1.5.0*

I love this app.  It’s worth the premium option as I find myself on here all day.  The more I’m on here, the less I’m on other apps that waste my time with nonsense.

### 5/5 — Pretty accurate

*2026-04-30, version 1.5.0*

As accurate as you can expect a phone to be. No complaints.

### 5/5 — Best watch app

*2026-04-20, version 1.5.0*

Great app for watch enthusiasts who want to check the health of their mechanical watches.  tickIQ is also a great space to connect with other watch enthusiasts.
