"Prime Time" is a high-precision time app that shows the true time, accurate to the millisecond. It queries NTP servers directly — the same infrastructure that keeps the internet in sync — and works out the correct time from their answers. Your device's own clock is never used for the display. [New in version 1.3] • Server details: tap any server to see everything about it: the address that actually answered, stratum, reference (with a reverse lookup of its name), any announced leap second, root delay and dispersion, server processing time, jitter, estimated error, and its last eight exchanges. • Now in German and French, alongside English and Japanese. • A new typeface for small text and figures. The large clock is unchanged. • The Display Legend now explains the main screen's headings, including which way the offset sign points. • A redesigned Pro screen. [Free — one server, in full detail] • Real-time sync with one NTP server of your choice • Every exchange laid open: address, stratum, reference, root delay, jitter, estimated error and the last eight exchanges • Millisecond display, refreshed up to 120 times a second on ProMotion screens • Offset and round-trip time with sparkline history • Adaptive polling that eases off as a server proves steady [Pro — one-time purchase, no subscription] • Compare up to 30 servers. With three or more, a server that is off is outvoted instead of pulling the time shown. • Manual sync on demand • Keep the screen awake while the app is open A note on accuracy: a round trip is a single number covering two unknown halves, and nothing in the exchange reveals how it was divided. Prime Time widens the reported ± rather than inventing a correction to hide it. On cellular, where the two directions are least alike, that margin is wider — and shown. Made for developers, network engineers, and anyone curious about how far off their device's clock really is.
