Works great

Better than any of the others. Unique way of capturing time makes this app a cut above.

This app saved me a huge headache!

I have been using Twixt for nearly a decade and recently took my watch in for a service (which thanks to Twixt was showing a slow degradation in performance over a couple of years). When I got the repaired watch back from the watchmaker something looked amiss but I couldn't tell what it was. Thanks to Twixt I was able to see photos of the watch before the service and immediately it was clear that the watchmaker had replaced the hands with slightly different ones. I never would have been able to know this without a long history of photos of the watch. It was also very easy to show the watchmaker the error since there wasn't much to argue with about the clear evidence of the incorrect hands. I was able to share screen shots with the watchmaker to show the change - an idea to improve the app would be an ability to export/import timelines. Otherwise the app has been matured to perfection as the developer has made continuous improvements to it over the years. Thanks!

Tedious, inaccurate

I didn't think it was possible for them to make an app worse than Kello, but they did. This is very tedious to use and very inccurate. You have to take a photo of your watch and manually locate the cetner, 12 o'clock, hour, minute and second hands on the screen...repeat to get a reading. After all that, it said a mechanical watch of mine was runnning at +12 minutes per day---which is not even in the ballpark. A real timegrapher shows it is running ~+4 seconds. Don't bother with this one.

Hi CAG_1337, We have added a lot of features since version 1.02 to assist with the positioning of the hands and would love to hear what you think of the app today. You may also find it helpful to note that it is important to capture successive Snapshots at least 24 hours apart. Snapshots that are taken less than a day apart will multiply any errors due to parallax, beat rate, and/or hand position. The purpose of the Timeline lock, which can be enabled or disabled in Settings, is to guard against such errors. For the most accurate results, it is best to wait 24 hours before adding a new Snapshot to a Timeline. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please feel most welcome to reach out via email, at twixt@coldflower.com UPDATE: Thank you for taking the time to repost the review that you wrote back in 2013. I can only begin to imagine how frustrated you must feel. I would love to help you get the most out of Twixt Time and would be happy to investigate why you encountered the results that you did. As before, please feel most welcome to reach out to twixt@coldflower.com for support. Mention that you are CAG_1337 and I will attend to you personally, so that you do not need to articulate again anything that you have already here. Thank you for your passion for horology and precision. I admire it.

Great App for Watch People

I’ve been using this app for several years, and it just works. Allows me to keep track of the timekeeping for my watches in a simple yet effective way. Thank you!

Cannot Rename, Cannot Delete, No Cloud Sync

Too expensive for not getting these basic features!

Dear BlackRed12, I am happy to let you know that the latest versions of Twixt Time support the ability to rename Timelines and delete individual Snapshots. Both features can be accessed through the "Edit" button in the top bar when viewing the details of a Timeline. If you have any questions or require additional support, please feel most welcome to reach out via email, at twixt@coldflower.com

Don’t bother.

I like to keep track of my watch accuracy. I thought the idea of using a photo would prove to be easy and very accurate.

It turns out you have to manually set the positions of the hands each time. What’s more if it’s in a mid way point it struggles to discern which minute you mean.

I also had hoped that it would be automatic and recognise each hand. It doesn’t. There’s nothing automatic about it.

Basically there’s far better apps out there like WatchTracker that do it for less.

To safeguard against any inaccuracies or incongruities in the data input, Twixt Time enforces the precise alignment of the minute relative to the position of the second hand and the position of the hour hand relative to the minute hand. It sounds like the hands of your timepiece are not correctly aligned. In order to provide the most accurate results possible, it is important that the second hand and minute hand are correctly synchronized with one another. For example, when the minute hand is pointing directly at a minute index, the second hand should be pointing directly to the top of its dial (indicating 0 seconds). If you continue to encounter any difficulty using the app, please feel most welcome to reach out via email, at twixt@coldflower.com, and we will do our utmost to help.

Always says 12+ hrs even if it’s only a few seconds

The app was working well but now it always displays as the time advanced as 12+hrs when it may have only been a few seconds. Sad to see

Latest version back to running as expected

Developer contacted me advising that the app was fixed. Running an iPhone 8 Plus now on iOS 11.4.1 and no issues with snapping a photo and locating dial points. Back to running as it should be and am happy to revise my review back up to five stars again.

Plutôt bien fait

C’est plutôt bien fait et ça permet de suivre facilement la précisions de votre collection de montres.
Je ne sais pas si c’est très précis mais la précision est facile à vérifier.

Used to be perfect, now it crashes constantly.

This app used to be amazing, however now it crashes every time you try to take a picture. Very disappointed! Get Tooltime instead. Developer seem unwilling to fix it.

Update September 23,2017:

App now crashes every time you try to resize a picture. You take the pic, app blows it way out of proportion (to the point it's nearly unusable), you zoom out to try and navigate m, and the damned thing crashes STILL!

Developer is cruel and uncaring, refuses to fix.

Hi ExDroidUser, If you are continuing to encounter crashes, please get in touch at twixt@coldflower.com so we can get to the bottom of this for you.

It's great!

I can't figure out how to update my previous low rating review so I'm adding another one.

I had some initial technical difficulties and reached out to the dev team. They were very responsive. I've been able to get it working properly and think it's great. Exactly what I was hoping for!

I'm enjoying the App but I'm even more impressed by their customer service.

Thanks!

Excellent

Very useful and easy to use. I have used this app for some time now to track the timing specs for all my watches.

Buggy

Was an excellent app, destroyed by the developer by updating. If it ain't broke, don't' fix it...

Unstable; poorly designed and overpriced

Unstable to the point of unusability; clunky design and artificial restrictions on when snapshots can be taken; poor feature set (eg, no way to plot variations over time or review data); overpriced.

Very nice!!

This app works like a charm. I've used it on various watches and clocks and it does ALL it says. My go to watch monitor. Well done.

Absolutely terrible

So this app requires you to do absolutely everything: take the photo, use a marker to tell it where the second hands are, the minute hand, the hour hand - everything.

And you need to be incredibly accurate and consistent on where you drop the markers or of course it's all inaccurate and wrong.

I can't see the point of this.

I'd hoped all I would have to do is take a photo and have my watches measured and tracked for accuracy.

This is basically a camera app so save your money and just use one of the many websites that do the same thing.

So yeah, I blew my cash on this so please save yours!

Works well, but 3 stars only because they quit updating Kello

I mean seriously. It's apps were pricey. Pretty lame just to leave one in the dust and come out with a new one. This should have been a feature added to Kello

Great idea if it worked

Great Idea if it worked, I check 6 watches over a week I set the watches with the atomic clock app before starting and every day for a week against the same atomic clock app and noted the results and also used this app and I could not believe how poor the results on this app were one watch a Quartz lost less than a second over the week but this app showed it lost 14 sec a day, another mechanical watch gained 3 sec in the week but the app showed it lost 2.3 min a day and all others were as bad , I even checked a clock which had no second hand and it lost 2 min in the week but the app said it only lost 0.1 sec a day - a total waste of my money

Surprisingly effective

After a full service center overhaul of my Omega Seamaster I decided to use Twixt to check the accuracy. Even though my watch had just been serviced Twixt measured that it was gaining just over 6 seconds per day (the threshold for chronometers). I took this info to the service center and they were able to get the gain down to about 1.3 seconds per day. Without Twixt I wouldn't have known my watch was out of spec and would have just accepted poorer accuracy than necessary.

The app itself is clean and easy to use. I didn't expect it from just photographs of the watch face but the accuracy is impressive: it matched the Omega service center's measurement exactly.
