## What is Timecode?

Timecode by Panoptik is the most attractive Timecode calculator on the market (if we do say so ourselves). It is the only professional choice for performing fast, ultra-precise timecode calculations and film unit conversions. Using Timecode, you can calculate and convert any timecode into any other timecode or unit at the touch of a button. Timecode displays four user-definable units at once, allowing you to view conversions on any frame rate like 29.97 fps, 25 fps, rolls of film and frame results at the same time.

Do you need to know more? OK, OK not only can you do all those fancy frame and film rate calculations but it also gathers them together in an elegant little log that can be forwarded on to anyone who needs to know. Packed under the hood of its deceptively simple interface is one of the most robust timecode math engines on the planet, designed by a team of filmmakers, editors, designers, technicians and developers. Thanks to Timecode’s peerless combination of precision software engineering and clear, contemporary design, complicated timecode calculations are more simple than they have ever been. 

Honestly, you need this in your life.

### 2/5 — No 23.98 calculation

*2018-05-17*

You have 29.97, but no 23.98. And no custom frame rate option. Otherwise works for everything else. Strange the most popular option does not exist...

### 2/5 — Let down

*2016-12-31*

Man, I really wanted to like this app. The interface is beautiful and it does exactly what it says it's supposed to do. Only problem is there's no support for 23.98 in video mode. There's an option for it if you're in one of the film modes but otherwise it's locked at 24fps. I find this surprising since the majority of filmmakers shoot in digital video these days. Support for film is great but digital video should be a no brainer. I was hoping this was just an oversight and would be corrected in an update but it's been almost a year since the last update so...I'm guessing it's not coming. Very disappointed.

### 2/5 — No 2398 frame rate available

*2016-07-28*

While this looked to be a great purchase, and for what it does it could be really handy, the fact there is no option for 23.98 frame rate is a HUGE deal breaker for me. This is 2016 and 2398 is one of the most used frame rates. Zero support from both Panoptik. zero support from Tapfinger. So much potential... So sad.

### 2/5 — Timecode

*2016-04-18, version 2.0*

Since the update I no longer know how to use this!

### 5/5 — Beautiful update!

*2016-02-16*

A beautiful update to an already great app. For those that have worked in media production for long enough, you remember that it was impossible to touch a timecode calculator with this kind of functionality for less than $150. This little gem easily pays for itself.

### 5/5 — Fantastic update

*2016-02-13*

This is a great update. I thought the app was dead, but with the update it's apparent the developer is still committed to making this a great tool for anyone that has to deal with video/film timecode. Great work.

### 5/5 — Update is fantastic!

*2016-02-11*

Aesthetic and functional UI improvements on this version. It works great and looks awesome! In hindsight, thank you for taking your time. It paid off.

### 2/5 — Custom frame rate?

*2015-01-13*

I'm disappointed this app doesn't have the ability to enter a custom frame rate.  I should have the ability to affect the frame rate in the calculation.  Namely I'm trying to calculate based on a frame rate of 120 fps.

### 5/5 — Composers

*2014-09-06, version 1.2.1*

Great. Solid, easy to use and read. In fussy and reliable.

### 5/5 — It's the best!!

*2014-08-23, version 1.2.1*

Hands down the best Timecode Calculator for iPhone. The Log screen is really helpful for going back and checking run times from specific days. Looking forward to the big update you guys are working on!
