## What is TimeCode ToolBox?

The Denecke TimeCode ToolBox app is designed to Read & Generate LTC time code
using your mobile iDevice (running iOS 5.x or higher). The time code reader
features a level meter and wave form analyzer (helpful for trouble shooting
cables, etc). The incoming time code frame rate is flagged as well. The Time
code generator is capable of generating all of the standard frame rates and
defaults to the current time of day. User bits default to the current date. The
generator can also be set to user select values. Due to the low stability of the
iDevice's time base (crystal), this app is not recommended for use as a Master
Clock and should only be used to "jump start" devices such as a Denecke Dcode
Sync Box or Slate.

## Key features

- Reads LTC time code

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iOS 16

*2022-12-05, version 1.1.0*

No audio output on devices running iOS 16

### 2/5 — App crashes on certain features

*2021-08-09, version 1.1.0*

The app consistently crashes while usingThe log edit feature and current load feature.

### 4/5 — Worked great until iOS update

*2016-11-06, version 1.0.0F8*

Worked fine until iOS update. Please fix.

### 1/5 — Doesn't Work iOS 10

*2016-10-22, version 1.0.0F8*

Noooooo doesn't output time code off the clock anymore. Can't jam anymore

### 1/5 — Doesn't work w/ iOS10 :(

*2016-10-22, version 1.0.0F8*

Upgrade my iPhone to iOS and this app that has worked great for years, is no longer working.  I hope an update gets released soon to fix the incompatibility.

### 2/5 — Works as long it's the only thing you are doing

*2016-06-05, version 1.0.0F8*

My big problem with this is when you minimize the app and come back the code stops. I want to use the app as a running slate mounted on the front of my bag for camera ops to shoot quick slates. I also wish it had a cleaner display. But that is just my personal preference.

### 2/5 — I want to like this App...

*2014-08-06, version 1.0.0F8*

I'm a production sound mixer as well as A2.  I own and use Denecke products. 

My one desire is to have an app that can read timecode and hold it for at least ten minutes so I can check sync between cameras on set before rolling.  This app can read timecode fine as long as there is a constant connection, otherwise the display will read blank.  Otherwise, what is the practical use of this app?

Please make an update! I would gladly pay $10 for that feature.

### 2/5 — Crashes

*2014-06-23, version 1.0.0F8*

I had high hopes for this app, but it crashes constantly on my 5S, to the point that it's useless to me. I love that I could use it to generate user bits, but the "Load Current Settings" button is one of the ones that takes it out every time. From all the favorable reviews I presume there's something it doesn't like about my phone or its apps, but it seems to need a little more development.  Sorry - I hope to be able to use it in the future.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2013-02-02, version 1.0.0F8*

What a seriously great app. Thanks Denecke!

### 5/5 — Great!!!

*2012-03-21, version 1.0.0F8*

What a game changer!
