Re: Need iPhone Clock App
?Did you read down the page? There are options for older models, too. I don’t know which is the oldest iPhone to support a direct transfer. If your 4S is included, you would just have needed the USB adapter from Apple’s?.

I’ve used this occasionally for years! After reading your message I checked, and fortunately still have the app on my iPhone, and it’s working just fine. But I decided to do a bit of research and found this sad story about the company:

Anyway thanks for the heads up.

I used to use a marvelous app on my iPhone by Emerald Sequoia LLC - "Clock". It gave very accurate time to the tenths of a second. I used it in tracking satellites. But then I got a new iPhone and when I was loading my apps saw that they had shut down and the app was no longer available!! Wah!!

Is there a good app that gives very accurate time to better than the second?

Thanks. By "satellite tracker" I think you mean a GPS time inserter to a video camera? Most people track that way but I wanted to use Mac products.

Roger’s workaround is the best free option. I prefer to work in?, a paid app that competes with BusyCal, which can also color individual events.

Create 3 new calendars

Give them each a different colour, and then you can turn off one or more of them to more easily see the one you’re interested in.

Have you considered a 15” MacBook Air? You can get one with 1TB for about $1600. Maybe Best Buy has better deals.

Re: Need iPhone Clock App
Hi Charles -
This group is for all things Apple and adjacent technology. Even the recent conversation about Internet providers wasn’t off-topic either.
If your primary use case is satellite tracking, I wonder if a satellite tracker would be a good choice. Otherwise, maybe search the App Store for <atomic clock>.
By the way, if your new iPhone has USB-C, it may have been possible to retain your old Clock app with a wired phone-to-phone transfer. Maybe a tip for next time.
