This is the ONLY app on the Android market (right now) that actually generates timecode that your devices can listen to. (Similar to iOS apps MovieSlate and Clockit)

Fully functional free version generates 24fps, 25fps, and 30fps NDF timecode, locked to time of day.

Upgrade to the paid version to unlock user bits, more framerates including 29.97 (NDF or DF) and 23.976, and the option to start timecode at a custom time instead of time of day.

Ratings and reviews

Synced great with my Tascam DR-701D via BNC. I did notice a difference of a few frames though between the app and recorder, but it did not drift at all for 4 hours, so all good. I'm hoping to use to record in free-run so I hope the camera being used will sync with it. It's clearly designed to give equipment a taste of smpte for free-run as it won't run in background, so not usable for people wanting to shoot on their 4K phones.

I've been wanting an app like this for a while to test studio clocks that read SMPTE time code. Those Wharton and Masterclock generator units are so expensive. I can't wait for my next studio build so I can try it out. For now. I'll give you 5 Stars. I'll come back and change it if it doesn't work. Off hand it "Sounds" like time code that I hear when I use my Probe in the above mentioned boxes. Great Job! EDIT: Can't believe I downloaded this 5 years ago. I have been recommending it to my clients when their Studio clock time code generator blows (it happens often). So far it's worked flawlessly.

I was using this on my previous phone with no issues. I got a new phone and used the same Google Play account to reinstall all of my paid apps. This is the only app that asked me to pay for it again. I emailed the developer and he sounded agreeable to help but then he stopped responding to my emails. I have paid for an app that I no longer have access to.
