10 Positive User Reviews for Cuckoo Clock Calibration
Very good clock tool!
I like how this is affordable and works like a 200 dollar machine! I can get my cuckoos a lot more accurate and level with this tool. The only downside of this is there should be more references for other clocks besides cuckoos. Maybe have a catalogs for different clock models and types. It would also be nice if you could add a feature to help get the clock in beat. Like tell which way to bend the pendulum crutch. Thanks!
Nice app
This made it quite easy to set my get the pendulum speed right for my grandfather clock. The only issue I had is that I could not add the reference period of 1000.000 ms to the list because the app blocks values of 1000 or higher, but it still dialed in the speed perfectly. Very nice.
Not just for cuckoo clocks!
Like another reviewer, I used this to check my Hamilton marine chronometer (a Model 22, not a 21, sadly). Using a “PitchGrabber” piezoelectric mic, this app proved FAR more accurate and consistent than a certain well-known and much more expensive timegraphing app.
Great and can have more amazing features
This is a great app. It would be great if in the customization session allows to add lower beats per minute (like 8 BPM). This way I can use it to calibrate my Kaiser 400 anniversary clock as well. Also, it would be great to add a distribution chart for beats. This will allow the user to see the consistency in a graph rather than subjective. I tried to contact the developer but couldn’t find any info on the need. Nir, please feel free contact me for further collaboration.
Can’t beat it for $0.99
Dials in a clock incredibly accurately.
Perfect timing
This is a very well-made and genuinely useful app. I love how you can add profiles for different clocks that you own, too. I was able to get my over 100 year old Seth Thomas mantle clock ticking within a 0.04% margin of error (which is about 5-7 seconds off per day).
If you have vintage clocks, I definitely recommend this app!
Directions
I believe this app works but the directions are so confusing I can’t get it to work. A you tube tutorial is needed.
Great, but needs a new name
I belong to a couple clock collecting and repairing groups on Facebook, and I occasionally recommend this app. The first question is always, does it only work for cuckoo clocks?
Since it works for any clock, a more universal name would be in order. Tick-Tock Clock Calibration, etc.
Perhaps in your database you could include generic timings for common pendulum clocks - 60bpm, 72 bpm, 80bpm, etc.
Thanks for a very fine and very practical app!
I got the beat, I got the beat!
Great app if you need to set the beat on a clock and then time it! Not just for Cuckoos! Tells you when you have a consistent beat and then whether you need to raise or lower the pendulum. You need a quiet place to use it. One of the best apps I’ve ever had!!
Perfect app for anyone with a cuckoo clock!
I got a request from a friend of the family to try and fix their cuckoo clock. I knew nothing about them, but after some YouTube videos and this app the clock is running again and keeps perfect time! I was a rank beginner but this app is very intuitive, easy to use even for a new guy.
