AtomicClock: NTP Time Reviews

I’m kind of a time nerd. Most clocks, iPhone included, give time to the minute. If you’re setting another clock, you can’t get it right to the second unless you wait for another new minute to turn over. With Atomic Clock, you can anticipate the new minute and set digital or analog clocks to the precise second. I find myself using it more often than I thought I would. (BTW, the iPhone clock is precise judging by AtomicClock, which is reassuring.)

I use to dial into WWV when working on my clock collection. I’ve been using AtomicClock over a year now and rarely use WWV anymore. I have had an occasion or two when AtomicClock wouldn’t find the server, but it always had a quick fix. Between AtomicClock and the “Cuckoo Clock Calibration” app, I have everything I need to work on my clocks and keep them accurate. Both of these apps are great for hobbyists or professionals. Great job!

I have an Ipad air 2 with ios 13. AtomicClock does not work. the clock stopped and I can't seem to get ir going again. When I installed it the first time it worked perfectly, I would have given it 5 stars. Now I have to settle for 3. Actually I should give it less than 3 stars because AtomicClock doesn't work. I think you need to update!!!!!.
This is a follow up on my first review. The clock can’t seem to find a time server. I tried all of them. I run AtomicClock on my ipad air 2 and on my iphone 11 pro. They both have the same problem.I have wifi. I can stream movies, but AtomicClock can’t find a time server.

Great app for when I have to manually update time settings. Wish there was a button to quickly switch between UTC and local time or it could show both even if it was a second line just showing hours and minutes. Like having fraction of seconds as it lets me get much closer to the correct time when manually setting system clocks that aren’t syncing correctly.

I use AtomicClock primarily for setting the time on my Seiko automatic watch every couple days. It is very easy to set my watch to the exact second using AtomicClock. I also like all the customization features, the option to enable or disable a ticking noise, and the option to give the seconds hand a smooth sweeping motion instead of a ticking motion.

I looked for a long time for a way to get accurate time on my iPhone, without much success. Recently, I found Atomic Clock, which was exactly what I was looking for. It’s very easy to use, and I use it to keep the correct time on all of my clocks and watches. Thank you for a simple way to add accuracy to my life.

I travel every week and constantly get into hotel rooms with room clocks set incorrectly. I use the atomic clock to set the room clock to the correct time and have always relied on it. Just one less thing to worry about. Easy to use and I know it is correct.

Regular watches gain or lose seconds or fractions of a second each day.

Regular comparisons against AtomicClock allows you to set time accurately.

The sound is different when the second hand hits the 12 o’clock mark and this allows a more precise synchronization.

I stumbled across AtomicClock while browsing AtomicClock Store.
It is the best thought out time app I have used so far. For me it hits all the options I like my clock to have plus plenty of formats and options to choose from.
Maybe some time a quick convenient alarm could be added to run concurrently with it.
Well Done !!

I think being able to pick a contrasting color for the second hand would add functionality in that it would be easier to pick it up faster at first glance.

Since I wear a different watch most days they run down and need to be set each time. AtomicClock has all the information I need in an easy to read format to set my watches.

I wear a mechanical wristwatch, which, while being amazing, needs to be corrected every couple of months if you want your watch to be accurate to the second. AtomicClock helps me do that.

If you are into setting your watches with extreme precision AtomicClock is perfect! You should consider a tip option for those like me that want to give you .99 every so often. Packed full of great options. Well thought out. Thanks.

I’ve used AtomicClock for years to lead our congregation in starting daily Mass in a timely manner. It has numerous features to change the appearance and functions. Of all the time related apps I’ve downloads and reviewed this one is far superior.

Always have liked the simplicity of this program it has always worked perfect never an issue and the developer is very responsive

Is it possible to add a second time zone? So you can have utc and local time at the same time? I have this running on my iPad as a main clock in my house 24/7. Great job well worth buying premium!!!

It is simple & straightforward, just as I prefer all things in life to be. Bold letters for one, such as I, who requires “adult’s goggles”. No buffering or loading time - touch the screen and, voila, there’s the exact time, every time, all the time!

For a few years I’ve been using, testing, and it’s the best. Reliable to hundredths of second. Easy to read.

Straight forward, useful, and accurate. (Not all NTP apps are.)

Smooth sweep second, freeze pane, are invaluable.

The this app app shows accurate time down to the hundredth of a second. The display is clean and accurate. I use it to make sure my various devices have not drifted to far.

I used another app for years till the owner pulled it from the store...

Just in time AtomicClock arrives with many settings that allow for a more user friendly experience!

Also, the tick sounds are great for clock setting!

The moment I downloaded this application, I knew that it would be life purpose. The only downside is the hours I starting in awe at this marvel if human engineering. My only regret is that i have but one life to give for AtomicClock
- god or something (2019)

Great app, but it doesn’t handle other time zones. Also you can’t choose whether the day comes before the month, or vice versa. I usually put the year before the month and the month before the day. Also you forgot to implement the leading Zeros into the date.

Thank you

Excellent job on this. I was happy to pay to remove the ads.

Features I’d like to see added:

Background colors + option to use photo as background

Option to make second hand red regardless of clock-hands color choice

A chime on the hour, soft like a small gong
Pinch to shrink/grow size of clock-face and hands together

Swipe up/down to adjust brightness

Removal of status bar (signal, carrier, WiFi icon, time, battery, etc) when phone is oriented vertically. These thing vanish only when the phone is turned sideways.
