ClockMaster - Time Regulator for Negative User Reviews

✓ Did Not Work For MeFollowed the directions, used the earbud microphone, app did not reliably measure the clock tick. Looks like you would really need the $20 upgrade for this $10 app to really do anything useful..Khudson235Version: 2.3.1

✓ Disappointed!I thought it sounded too good to be true, and it was. The only way this app could be useful is if you already know the correct Beats per Minute for the clock. The only way you can do this correctly is to open up the clock, count the teeth on various gears in the movement and calculate it using a formula. This program tries to "guess" the BPM, and assumes it to be an integer. I had 5 antique clocks previously running close to accurate time. Now they are off by as much as 5 minutes per day..HdmsterVersion: 1.3

✓ Expensive with hidden costs9.99 for basically nothing then another 19.99 for anything useful. My fault didn’t research it did not expect 9.99 charge wouldn’t be complete..Married Man WalkinVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Don’t waste your moneyPurchased this app hoping it would work after following the directions. The microphone on my iPhone was not sensitive enough to make it work. Also even if it was the program samples data at such an erratic rate that taking a brief sample does not work. Their are much better apps out there. Also there are machines for $30 that work great if your willing to look for them. Don’t buy this program..Thorick 56Version: 2.3.1

✓ Can't do what it claimsThe program claims to tell you how fast or slow your clock is. But it can't know, because it has no way of knowing what the CORRECT beat rate of the clock is. It assumes the correct rate is the integer number of Beats Per Minute that is nearest to the measured rate. This might be true sometimes, but not most of the time. If the correct rate for the clock is a fractional value of BPM, the app will steer you to set the clock at an erroneous rate. I looked at the first ten rates of Ansonia clocks from a reference list. Four of them resolved to an even number of BPM, six did not. This app would cause you to set 60% of these clocks either fast or slow..BdmsbVersion: 1.0

✓ Absolute con!I even bought the expensive sensor!?? I fell for this hook, line and sinker! It has no idea what constitutes a clock! Simple small ones, it can’t manage because there’s nowhere to clip the transducer! The microphone on the phone does bugger all other than compound the issue. It can’t do larger ones unless you get them out of the case to get the mike on!!! Even then, it is confused by clicks from the movement. It can’t distinguish tic toc from the cat with asthma four doors away. It is completely useless with any kind of master clock because it cannot distinguish a click from a clonk! I have been optimistic and regulated a few clocks with it! Absolute disaster! I can do vastly better by intuition over a couple of days! Its results are generally worse than educated guess work! DO NOT PURCHASE!!!!!.OysterripVersion: 2.3.9

✓ Waste of moneyExpensive app, waste of money as upgrade cost £13,99. Thought that for the price I paid it should work, non of that all, Kello is far better, and affordable..Dennis.3258Version: 1.3

✓ Will not work for 400-day clocksI really don’t understand why they’ve set a bottom threshold on how many beats per hour you can measure. My clocks I work on operate at 8 beats per minute. I can get it to measure correctly due to this threshold. It would be useful if I could set the BPH to 480..Gallifreyan42Version: 3.0.19

✓ Good, not perfectVery helpful to establish BPM. This is the key parameter. Projected daily gain / loss inaccurate. On manual, it always reads 59.59 and on auto there appears to be a random reading unless it runs for quite some time..ATO clockVersion: 2.3.1

✓ UselessThis app is supposed to tell you how precise is your timepiece. You can figure it out by comparing it against your smartphone, a GPS or any official time provider. Now, if you are a watch afficianado wanting to improve the precision of your automatic watch, this app is useless. Even after 5 minutes of sampling, the average numbers (bpm and error per day) do not stabilize, so you don’t know if the adjustment that you did is OK. The kernel doesn’t seem to calculating the average nor doing any statistic filtering on large sampling. Disappointing..Tamia rayéVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Waste of timeUseless. Doesn't work. Screen touch points don't respond. Even the Help section only reads half way and then stops. Total waste of money..Nick4NakVersion: 1.3

✓ Mixed feelingsI question how useful this app really is. It’s fine for getting a clock on beat but only by taping the Apple earbuds so the microphone is taped to the metal of the movement. I purchased the mic they recommend and it’s huge and the sensor doesn’t touch the movement due to it’s odd shape so it picked up NOTHING. I purchased the pro version and it really didn’t make much difference. If you just want a way to set it on beat while in your shop it’s fine but it doesn’t exactly look professional to be taping your earbuds to someone’s grandfather clock while your in there home. There has to be a better way. I didn’t have good results timing a clock but that may be me. It has soooo much potential but it needs a mic that works with it..AlternativechicVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Don’t waste your moneyThe app would be fine except the fact that they say to use iPhone headphones with a mic to get better accuracy and yet the results are worse with an apple headset mic. Without the headset and having the phone literally sitting on the clockwork and I had to have it set at 8.7 out of 10 for sensitivity and it still wasn’t quite right. Any higher and it had false positives and at this setting it still missed some of the ticks..Cosmo132Version: 2.3.1

✓ Will not calibrate to my watch.This app will not calibrate to my watch through a microphone. Maybe a piezo?.CpinegarVersion: 2.2

✓ Very useful appUpdate: the latest rewrite has made this app useless. If I could, I would restore the old version. It used to work quit well. Now useless..DBertinotVersion: 3.0

✓ Not sensitive to watchesTried it on my automatic (Valjoux 7750) and unfortunately the iPhone nor its remote mike did not pick up the ticking. and therefore the app was completely useless to me. Ya never know if ya neva give it a go Oh well, its only money..Nodrog345Version: 2.3

✓ Don't waste your money!Waste of money! My antique clock is quite loud and is fairly accurate. This app tells me it loses 3min/day - rubbish!.Colinm99Version: 2.3.1

✓ A Fine App, butThis app was and is indeed very helpful to me, though a little limited. I do take issue with the creators asking for an such a steep price for the upgrade (when I already paid for the first one), in order to get a more accurate reading, along with the rest of the functionality I would have expected. One can only come to the conclusion that they turned down the accuracy of the original deliberately. Where I come from, that is considered shysty business practice..Dogey TimesVersion: 2.3.1

✓ No, just don't.Don't waste your money on this. It doesn't work..CAG_1337Version: 2.3.1

✓ Won't work after iOS upgradeDid work but the app freezes after the latest iOS update. None of the buttons work..Dafack01Version: 1.3

✓ MrGuys this is awful. just use a stop watch and do adjustment.Clocky 123456Version: 2.3.1

✓ Very disappointingI have an old clock whose tick and tock can be heard in adjacent rooms. Sadly this app can't or won't hear it without an upgrade. Add a clunky interface and 1980's GUI and you get a very disappointing product..Hayes TweedVersion: 2.3.1

✓ Wasn't useful for meFor the clock I tried regulating, the reading kept on alternating between 2 min/hr fast and 2 min/hr slow without me even touching the clock. So what do I do? Make the clock faster or slower? Go figure!.Rotten TuberVersion: 2.3.1
