Emerald Timestamp App Reviews

I have a Seiko self-winding watch with their famous 7S26B movement. Although not particularly expensive (or accurate) I love the watch because it’s a piece of classy machinery and a piece of history, at the same time. But how accurate is it? To find out, I bought Emerald’s ‘Timestamp’ app. Every morning, at 7:25am (exactly) on my Seiko, I hit the green button, which records the exact (Internet) time. That lets me see how fast or slow my watch is set. Let’s say it is running 00:03:00.0 fast (3 minutes). If, the next morning, at 7:25am (exactly) on my Seiko the timestamp reads 00:03:15.0 I know two things: It is approximately 3 minutes fast and it lost 15 seconds over the last 24 hours. This app lets you do that conveniently and keep records. You can set yesterday’s reading to zero and know what happened over 1 day or set last week’s reading to zero and know for the week. So …what’s the big deal… you might ask. Just try to add or subtract two numbers in the time format 00:00:00.0. You will surely invent a few new cuss-words. It’s a pain. Timestamp does it easily.

This app does what it promises without any issues that Ive found. Just after I bought it a new version was released that really made this that much more powerful: pre-defined event buttons. Recommended!

Decent app with dozens of uses. Would be nice to be able to select two events and see the time difference between them.

A nice piece of work. Great for astronomy. With iPod Touch one cannot set the devices time precisely. This app takes care of that.

This app does exactly what it says. It precisely marks the time of an event and lets you enter a description of that event.

This app is fine on its own terms, but the reason I bought it was to set the iPod time accurately, which it cannot do. Apparently the iPod is very primitive when it comes to keeping track of time, mine is usually off by 30 seconds which makes it useless for any kind of astronomical obversations.

Thank you for this app and keep the updates coming. Ironically I bought this app after my Casio G-Shock fell off my wrist and into the ocean. I always used the Time Memo feature on my wrist watch and was looking for a good high end watch when I found a link to the Emerald Geneva watch and the Emerald Timestamp app. Wow! What a set of Apps. I bought both the Emerald Timestamp and Emerald Chronometer (They have a cheaper Geneva App but I wanted them to keep creating watches so I gave them what I thought they were worth!) and I am very pleased. Maybe just maybe they could make the first watch created after an app! I LOVE IT!!! Thank you! Both Timestamp and Chronometer are A++ apps!

A fun one-liner log: fun to stamp the log, edit the comment field and say what it was, worthy of a timestamp. Dunno as theres a better use, Im using Timestamp to make tracks throughout the workday/workweek – its easy to look at the milestones which meant something in the moment, planned or not. Setting a new zero point, and/or/but clearing the log for a fresh start is equally compelling. Just fun, like a stapler with a stack of Post-Its and a favorite pen.

I have found this app very useful for timing our scientific processes such as random number generation yields and event time differentials applied to deep Arden Maps. When device triggered time/event logging isnt necessary (machines are more accurate than us mere humans) this app is excellent, is simple and clear, and has never failed.

I used this to troubleshoot my furnace cycling times. I really appreciate the ability to go between wall clock and interval modes. Im sure I will find plenty more uses for this great app.

Been using it for a long time and it actually became much more stable under iOS 5. I use it to time stamp my appointments with clients and it does it well. Just a tiny gripe - it needs to auto cap in Event description field.

Excellent upgrade with the predefined button labels. Multiple "zero" times is also very useful. I would also like to be able to choose which fields are exported.

This APP is absolutely awesome. At first I thought it was just a lot of fun, which it is, but I have found I use it every day to track events, big and small. You guys did a great job. Thank you.

Excellent application. Im using this as the time marker while learning celestial navigation with sextant.

Everyone Ive shown this to is impressed. Its better than a stopwatch because the times are not just relative but absolute and recorded. The sources of errors made by marking, reading and recording are minimized. Can we learn a little more of the error and its relation to atomic time such as is kept by NIST?

What is clearly the UTC setting is labelled EDT on my phone here in the eastern time zone a few days before we switch from daylight to standard time. Otherwise, the app appears to work fine.

All the stuff you need for recording time for events. Uses online atomic standard clocks if available for super precise applications. Email results too. Well thought out.

In log racing we must record the time of day accurately at each of a number of check points. For those who are curious, predicted log racing is a boating version of car rallies. This program does it accurately and is economical enough for everyone to use. Good job!

Interesting Concept
