### 5/5 — Great Time Code Calculator

*2012-11-03*

Very functional, with attractive UI design.

Please make a universal iPad version.

### 5/5 — Finally a Timecode Calculator that can actually convert correctly.

*2012-09-17*

I have to do a lot episode timings to make sure that the shows I'm working conform to network specs. We work in 23.98 and delivers in 30drop. This is the first of many apps I have tried that will not only do the conversion, it gets it right.

### 5/5 — Just brilliant.

*2012-05-25*

Just purchased this 48 hours ago, and it has already proved to be well worth the asking price.  Fantastic design & the ability to log and share the calculations are just the tips of the iceberg.

I like to judge my tools by how useful they make me to others.  With this app in my bag of tricks, I look brilliant.

Only wish I have for the future would a full screen iPad version!

### 5/5 — version 1.2 rocks

*2012-02-15*

pros: attractive, professional design; works well; all standard formats; keeps logs of past calculations
cons: with version 1.2, none found so far

I've had this app for 8 or 9 months now,  and use it all the time. Very happy with it. Had one or two quibbles with past versions, but attentive updates have fixed my issues. I think this software is worth a couple extra bucks because it is such a pleasure to use and the developer clearly listens to customers.

### 5/5 — No more counting on my fingers....

*2011-06-08, version 1.0.2*

This is just what I want and need from a timecode calculator. 
All the everyday calculations plus, all the other non-everyday ones.
A very useful, concise and intuitive bit of my toolkit now.
It also looks the business....

### 5/5 — Best Pro Timecode App

*2011-04-02*

This app i just what I've been waiting for!  Other timecode calc apps have been a real disappointment, either for ease of use or accuracy.  As a professional editor, it is now something I just can't do without.  Plus it converts anything to everything!  Do yourself a favour - it the best few bucks you'll spend this year.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2011-03-22*

I love this ap, the design is slick and the screens are laid out simply and logically. It is a pleasure to use and a pleasure to look at, I use it every day.

### 5/5 — Timecode ronseal

*2011-03-21, version 1.0.2*

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Simple to use if you understand what your looking for. I like the fact that it'll cover every formulaic possibility of going from one to another. 
Neg cutters will especially love the full blown various film speed/size options.

### 5/5 — Brilliant app for broadcast pro

*2011-03-20*

This is easily the best timecode calculator on the iPhone, I didn't really want to take a gamble on it because I was so disappointed with other tc calculators on iPhone but read about it on a blog where they said nothing but good things so I gave it a blast, and it's great! I would recommend it to anyone and the log is brilliant!

### 5/5 — Junior online editor / colourist

*2011-03-14, version 1.0*

I had several half-hour programmes to play out in one day, and this app saved me a whole lot of time. It's really helpful, especially when you're contending with tight deadlines. I would recommend it to all editors.

### 5/5 — Awesome Utility for any film Professional

*2011-03-14*

It is worth the money, I pull this out all the time to help during and post production...I have made some of my colleagues go and buy their own so they can stop borrowing this from me.
Every now and then in the middle of all the useless apps out there you find gems like this one!

### 5/5 — This is such a useful tool, use it every day!

*2011-02-26, version 1.0*

This is an awesome app, I use it every day at work and sometimes even at home

### 5/5 — Easy on the eye

*2011-01-23, version 1.0*

Easy to use too...  Does all the formats I need and then some.  Biggest plus for me is it doesn't burn my eyes like other timecode calcs - as an app I use most days as part of my job, that's important to me.

I've even started to use it in frame mode as a normal calculator!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 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!

### 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.

### 2/5 — Still no iphone 5 screen support

*2014-02-11*

Iphone 5 was released in 2012 and it's now going on 2014 and this app still doesn't support the full screen size of the 5, 5c, and 5s. Makes me question the commitment to this app long term

### 4/5 — Great Calculator

*2011-04-01*

It's nice to finally see a well thought out & designed TC calculator on iOS. Love having the ability to see 4 different TC formats at once as well.

It would've been nice to have Retina Display graphics, but that's a red herring.

### 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.

### 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!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2013-12-13, version 1.2.1*

A must have for anyone in post-production.

### 5/5 — Excellent multiple timecode support

*2013-09-02*

It has the ability to monitor 23.98 and 29.97 drop and non drop timecode simultaneously. The logs can be exported for producers as well which is great. All in all, a fantastic app.

### 5/5 — This Calculator hits the target.

*2013-06-07*

This app is almost exactly what I needed. 
Spend a half an hour with it you will find it very easy to use and understand. The conversions from 29.97df to 23.98 are very accurate. I agree that it is absolutely worth the cost. I have tried several and this is the one that works for what I need. If I could request one thing it would be that there was a selection to convert an hour one TC source 29.97df convert to not start the convert at 00;00;00;00 and to be able to make a timecode convert start at 01:00;00;00. Most of the episodes we deal with have first frame of video starting at hour 1. Good work Panoptik.

### 5/5 — Great looking and easy to use

*2013-02-18*

Have you seen the other timecode calc apps? They look eye-stabbingly awful and are almost impossible to use efficiently. This one is super simple to use, and makes your eyes happy in the process. Worth the $, no doubt.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2012-12-08, version 1.2.1*

Hands down the best and most useful app for any one in the film or tv industry. This app has just save me hours of my life, thank you developer.
