### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-08-14*

I use it daily to check the precision of my watch. 
Thanks for maintaining &!updating the app

**Developer response:** Thank you for your valuable feedback about TickTracer. We understand how important it is to capture the exact second when taking a measurement.

I’m happy to let you know that in version 2, TickTracer will introduce automatic dial detection powered by AI, so the app will automatically recognize and adjust the watch face area for you — no need to manually align or zoom.

We’re also working on adding tenth-of-a-second precision for those who want even greater accuracy. We know it’s tricky to trigger a photo at the exact second, so this feature should make the process much easier and more reliable.

We truly appreciate your support and look forward to bringing you these improvements very soon!

Best regards,
Maxime – TickTracer Developer

### 4/5 — Nice & useful

*2025-08-07*

I use this app daily to check my watch.
I wish that it would allow me to zoom in by 2x while taking a measurement with my camera, and not only just afterwards, as the photo preview is so small, which makes it hard to be accurate taking the picture on an exact second, and not somewhere in between.

### 5/5 — Bien ! SVP mise au point sur le cadran

*2025-02-21, version 1.8*

Très pratique, on prend une photo du cadran, on rentre l’heure puis cela nous indique la déviation. Un peu déçu de la mise au point de l’appareil photo qui ne se fait pas.

### 2/5 — Painful to use

*2025-01-19*

I like the app, but it’s really frustrating to  add a accuracy check, as adjusting the up/down of the hour, minute, second are almost impossible to use, because tapping on the buttons doesn’t work most of the times, and I have to tap it 10 times for it to advance by one, although sometimes I select just the right spot and it does advance as expected

**Developer response:** Thank you for your detailed feedback about TickTracer. We understand your frustration with the time adjustment controls and I'm pleased to inform you that we've already addressed this issue. A fix will be available in our next update, coming very soon, which will provide a much smoother and more responsive experience.

We appreciate your patience and support in helping us improve TickTracer.

Best regards

### 1/5 — Useless

*2025-01-09, version 1.8*

Nothing more than a table where to write hours. I can do that for free, simple formulas

### 4/5 — Phase de lune

*2024-12-14, version 1.8*

L’indication de la phase de lune serait sympathique afin de régler sa montre

### 5/5 — Excellent mais des points à corriger

*2024-09-23, version 1.8*

Application très utile ! Par contre il y a deux améliorations à apporter. 
La première est que lors de la photo de la montre, le téléphone ne fait pas la mise au point et la vérification horaire par photo est floue. L’autre point est à aucun moment on ne peut indiquer que l’on a remis la montre à la bonne heure, (ce qui est généralement utile) sans fausser les statistiques.

### 5/5 — Versione gratuita

*2024-08-19, version 1.8*

Solo un orologio caricabile. Visto il prezzo proverò anche quella a pagamento.
