No backgrounding, low signal level
The signal level is too low, even with maxed out volume and no negative gain in the settings. BMPCC4k refuses to lock on.
Also will not run in the background. My use cases for this included having the phone mounted on camera as a teleprompter with time code generated on the same phone. I’d have to run this separately on a second iOS device to do what I need here.

MIDI timecode is only Full Frame
For whatever reason, they chose to implement only the Full Frame MTC messages, rather than sending Quarter Frame messages. This might explain why some hardware doesn’t work with it — if that hardware is expecting Quarter Frame messages it won’t work.
Dissappointing
Regular Crashes, midi output is unreliable
Très pratique pour de la synchronisation TimeCode avec les caméras BlackMagic
Utile pour des captations multicaméras, fonctionne parfaitement sur les caméras BlackMagic Pocket et Studio 4K.
Seul défaut que je donnerai, le timecode de l’app s’arrête dès que l’on met l’appareil en veille donc impossible de l’utiliser pour des caméras ou des enregistreur ne disposant pas de timecode interne sur de longues durée (Écran allumé = faible autonomie).
L’app aurait été un 10/10 surtout au vu du prix des concurrents.

Does Not Work With ProTools. No Tech Support
This app looks great. The interface is simple and easy to understand. The routing of MIDI, audio and Artnet all very straight forward, execpt Uh-0h! ProTools doesn't see MTC on either IAC or ipMIDI. Normally this would not be a problem as a quick email to tech support ususally resolves such issues, however despite repeated attempts to reach out to tech support, I've heard nothing. It's a pitty, because I'd love to use this app, but I think I'm going to be looking for a refund. If I can get a response!

Doesn't Entirely Work and ZERO Support
So, LTC audio Timecode works, but the app occasionally quits (so I wouldn't use it for anything critical). Midi timecode sorta works, but my gMA3 lighting console doesn't recognize it properly for some reason. Couldn't get ArtNet Timecode to work at all. I can get all three ways of sending timecode to work with other software using the same hardware and settings. This is true of both the iPad and Mac OS apps. Reached out to the developer. They responded after several days saying their is nothing wrong with their app and likely something I have set up incorrectly. Oh, Really? Funny that other software works then, no?

Doesn’t work with GoPro and Action 3
While there are updates for both the GoPro Hero 10 and DJI Action 3 to support timecode sync, neither one will respond to the tones from this app. 13 bucks wasted trying to use this.
Synchronized my Zoom F6 and Zoom F3
Easy to us and perfectly works to synchronize my Zoom F6 and Zoom F3 to the time in my Apple iPhone 13 Pro.
I experienced negligible mic clicks in my self-tape audition videos. A viewer and listener of my audition videos would never hear the mic click; because, the mic clicks were few in number and not loud at all, but I heard them because I spend a lot of time viewing and listening to my self-tape audition videos before sending them out to y casting directors, my manager, and my agent.
I narrowed the mic clicks down to the time-clock — all three devices’ time were significantly varied.
I found this app on YouTube — I like the simplicity and the results met my goal.
I’m glad I purchased it — all my devices are synchronized; and, no more mic clicks on my self-tape video auditions.
Check 6!

Does not support backgrounding
Do not buy this app. The timecode signal will stop sending as soon as you background the app/open another app/your phone goes to sleep.
For a production tool, this is incredibly disappointing and I feel ripped off entirely.
Save yourself the frustration and do not buy this app - for all intensive purposes, it is a scam.

Portrait orientation. Funny noise?
Happy to find one that works in a portrait orientation. I am looking for that. Disappointed at the loud shutter / film gate noise? Can I turn that off? Also has an annoying feature. Beware the stop button, you will lose the sync with your camera’s TC.
Does not work
Based on the description, I assumed this would generate and sync timecode on my BMPCC and audio recorder but it doesn't. As far as I can tell, all this does is displays a timecode on the computer or iPad screen. A total waste of $13.00. I'd like a refund.
Un peu léger...
Pour le prix, je m’attendais à mieux.
Et perso pour synchroniser deux Bmpcc, cela ne fonctionne pas
15€ de perdu...

Missing Crucial Feature For Me
This would be 100% what I'm looking for if it could capture the timecode at the press of a button so i can copy/paste it into another app.
Another bonus would be the ability to take an input source. Otherwise, would be perfect for my needs.

Perfect!
The first app for smpte that works well!
Works for generating timecode
But I really wish you could have it use the Mac's clock instead of all zeros or hand setting the time.
Great concept but terrible execution
Don’t get me wrong. I love this the idea of this minimalistic app. But I like it to see it work))) For now ever single feature or button not working.
Bugs and lack of basic features
1. Can’t run in background or on locked screen.
2. Can’t set custom start time.
3. After app go to background it stops timecode. If play is pressed again it star from random time or doesn’t start at all.
4. Offset almost useless. hours and second not working. (Take a look at Apple timer set wheels, it can be much easier to use)
5. FPS selector limited to 25 or 30 only. No 24, 29.97
6. Play / Pause sometimes restart timecode from random time. It should continue from when it left.
7. Pause > Play sequence behaves as reset button. It should continue from when it left.
