### 3/5 — Generally, I like the app.

*2024-11-03, version 1.3.12*

But every two or three days when I go to try to use it, I have to reset my password. Crazy.

### 3/5 — Couldn’t get past the initial page

*2024-05-21, version 1.3.12*

Open the app, and it immediately demands I login even though I don’t have one. Couldn’t get past that, not willing to pay to see if it was worth the price

### 2/5 — Terrible.

*2023-11-19, version 1.3.12*

This app is functionally a nightmare to use. The UI is very unintuitive and getting started logging your watch is extremely convoluted as the app does not direct you. Not to mention the “account” setup that is required. The fact that I need a useless “account” to use an app that should retain its basic functionality without internet access is egregious. Having to type out both my password and email every single time I reopen the app to either get a login error or be told something went wrong is also unbelievably annoying. Not to mention every single one of the buttons which should bring up help or forum sites (I am guessing) have “load errors”. This app has clearly been cobbled together by its developer and left to rot with no updates or check ins on its functionality. Two stars because it seems like the basic functionality they advertise is there, but is much more of a nightmare to get to and use than it should be.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t show registration page

*2023-09-11, version 1.3.12*

Doesn’t show any way to register

### 1/5 — Unusable - no way to create account

*2023-09-09, version 1.3.12*

This app immediately opens a username and password screen, no “register a new user” or anything similar. Unless you’re already registered, the “forgot password” button does nothing either

### 1/5 — Can’t log in

*2023-08-15, version 1.3.12*

Just downloaded the app, but can’t log in. Tried chat function and it just says ‘load error’

### 1/5 — App doesn’t even let you use it

*2023-08-11, version 1.3.12*

I downloaded the app, it brought me directly to a login screen (no opportunity to create an account or anything), the only option was to check the messages looking bubble icon or tap “forgot password.” The messages brought me to a mostly blank screen that read “Load error.” There’s literally nothing you can do with this app.

### 1/5 — Just a data harvesting app

*2023-08-07, version 1.3.12*

Didn’t get past the opening screen that asks you to log in. Just seems to be a way of harvesting email addresses.

### 1/5 — Awful Waste of Time

*2023-07-31, version 1.3.12*

The app works for awhile then randomly signs you out without asking and you can’t sign back in. Pointless.

### 1/5 — You have to log in

*2023-07-13, version 1.3.12*

This is useless, you’re just selling emails.  Waste of time.  You can use your phones clock for the same thing.

### 1/5 — Literally a waste of time

*2023-07-01, version 1.3.12*

Downloaded and opened, no options on screen apart from email and password fields and a chat button that leads to an error message. Never used the app before but it said email already in use. OK clicked password reset, reset email never arrived. Gave up.

### 1/5 — Hmmm…

*2023-06-23, version 1.3.12*

I’m unable to login to the app. It only gives me the option of signing up, and then tells me that my email has already been registered. It doesn’t do any good if I can’t get into the app.
I’ll reset my review as soon as I can access my account.

### 3/5 — Works but measurement buttons disappear

*2023-06-19, version 1.3.12*

On iPhone 8 Plus the green Check Accuracy and Measure Now buttons disappear. You can only see them when pulling the screen down on the dashboard for a second and then they’ll disappear again. New users may not even find these buttons at first.

### 1/5 — Can’t delete previous times

*2023-04-01, version 1.3.12*

I tapped when the second hand hit the 12 o’clock and the app registered it at 1 minute faster than it was. Ughhhhhh!!!! I went to delete this mistake but you can’t. This could be a 5* app but it needs some improvement

### 1/5 — Bag of poo

*2023-03-31, version 1.3.12*

It’s asking for a login 😂

### 3/5 — Logging in a pain

*2023-03-26, version 1.3.12*

It’s hard to log in when it’s lost your login details for whatever reason. 

If you type in your email address then switch to your password manager it clears the fields. 

My password is complicated so I cannot remember it. 

It also won’t allow you to paste from your password app. 

I’ve deleted it for this reason. Too much like hard work.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2023-03-26, version 1.3.12*

Asks for your name and password before you’ve started! Can’t progress further. Just says Load Error. Back to WatchTracker for me.

### 1/5 — Not able to login

*2023-03-19, version 1.3.12*

Created account and got a welcome email. Try to log in and the app says “loading dashboard” then does nothing. App last updated 5 years ago.

### 1/5 — Privacy breack

*2023-03-14, version 1.3.12*

Request full registration with personal data even for first entry. Just big fat NO! Will delete it

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — App has become useless

*2025-08-26, version 1.3.12*

It’s impossible to log in with a saved password. Will not allow copy/paste. Everytime you navigate from the password app the Toolwatch app deletes all login info

### 1/5 — too glitchy to be useable

*2024-10-23, version 1.3.12*

horrible app, cant even type in my username and password without the screen glitching all over the place

### 1/5 — Used to be useful

*2024-10-10, version 1.3.12*

This used to be a useful little app, but lack of updates means I can’t even log in any more - weird spacing and text box problems on newer iPhones mean I can’t enter my password. Sad.

### 1/5 — Dead App

*2024-08-31, version 1.3.12*

This thing is deader than Al Gore’s hopes and dreams.

### 1/5 — App Does Not Work 2024

*2024-07-22, version 1.3.12*

App does not work.

### 1/5 — Dead app

*2024-06-20, version 1.3.12*

Used to be great. I’ve got a lot of watches backed up on their website, which is the only way you can use it now. The app is dead. Doesn’t even let me log in. Just says error, try again later. Same email and password works fine using a browser.

### 1/5 — Sick of logging in

*2024-06-19, version 1.3.12*

I am required to enter a password every few days (WHY?! HELLO!) and then the password usually doesn’t work, leading me to reset it. Bottom line: nobody’s behind the wheel driving this app! Other issues- the moonphase is cool, but about two days ahead of where it should be.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2024-02-21, version 1.3.12*

Seems to no longer function or be supported.

### 1/5 — Opens sporadically

*2023-12-27, version 1.3.12*

The app itself will routinely say “something went wrong, try again later” on the login screen and not let me open the app. It’s infuriating. I’ve been able to use it when I need it maybe once in the last 6 months.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t even give it a try

*2023-11-23, version 1.3.12*

So I read the reviews in the description and I was a bit hesitant about testing it because it sounded like you had to manually push the button and there’s no way the human is sensitive enough to accurately time parts per million in one minute, but I thought I’d give it a try anyway. In case you something fancy like the microphone or something to listen to the text installed the app and it’s just a data mining app. It wanted me to register before I could even give it a try had to give it an email address that didn’t work for ages. When I finally came back to tried it loaded, and then the next thing is it one and all the personal information about my watches it wouldn’t even let me just try it. Don’t even bother downloading this app. It’s not worth the headache find something better maybe even pay for something that actually works.

### 5/5 — Superb, one of my favourite apps

*2023-04-06, version 1.3.12*

I’ve been using this for many years with dozens of watches and find it to be superb. Easy to use and add watches, and very easy to time their accuracy over a length of time you decide (needs to be longer than 12 hours). Access was disallowed for an unknown reason last week but a very efficiently performed password reset solved the problem and all my watch data remains intact If you’re a watch guy or gal then this is a must face app. There’s also a website by the same developer which has a very good interface too Toolwatch.io I hope it will continue to work in future when new iPhone models and iOS version comes along. As a suggestion, a way to download my watch data (or via an email) would be nice to have. We’ll done!

### 5/5 — Accuracy

*2023-03-12, version 1.3.12*

Great app. Very accurate and easy to use.

### 5/5 — My go-to

*2022-10-05, version 1.3.12*

Big fan of this app and thankful for the hard work by the team behind it. Measurement history within the app (rather than my manual Google Sheet) would be cool but I can mive without it.

### 5/5 — Works perfectly

*2022-09-16, version 1.3.12*

Not sure what is happening with all these bad reviews - this app works perfectly and tracks all my watches really well.

It does log me out occasionally but easy enough to log back in and all watches and records are still there.

Thanks to the devs

### 5/5 — Very easy to use!

*2022-08-03, version 1.3.12*

Great app - works very well & makes tracking the accuracy of your mechanical watch a snap.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2022-07-27, version 1.3.12*

Easy to use and keep track of different watches

### 5/5 — Good accuracy app

*2022-05-25, version 1.3.12*

Easy to use 👍

### 5/5 — Helpful and Easy to use

*2022-04-28, version 1.3.12*

Great idea and very useful for watch collectors and fans!!!

### 5/5 — Simple

*2022-03-03, version 1.3.12*

Not much to it, and not the prettiest, but it did exactly what I need it to do.

### 5/5 — Inland watch review

*2022-01-07, version 1.3.12*

Outstanding tool to check the accuracy of your watches
