## Description

**LTC Timecode Generator** allows you to generate SMPTE LTC Timecode directly from your Android device. This free app outputs timecode through the audio/headphone jack, enabling precise jam sync for cameras, video recorders, and other compatible devices. It's the only Android app currently on the market that creates reliable timecode your devices can listen to, similar to popular iOS apps like MovieSlate and Clockit.

The free version supports 24fps, 25fps, and 30fps non-drop frame (NDF) timecodes locked to the time of day. By upgrading to the paid version, users unlock advanced features including user bits, additional framerates such as 29.97fps (NDF or drop-frame) and 23.976fps, plus the option to start timecode at a custom time rather than the current time of day. The app has been tested extensively with professional equipment including Sony EX3, Aja Ki-Pro, and multiple Panasonic video cameras.

## Review summary

Users praise LTC Timecode Generator for providing a low-cost and stable timecode source compatible with many professional devices, helping avoid expensive hardware. However, many report compatibility issues with newer Android versions, inability to run in the background, and some precision limitations affecting professional recording setups. There are also concerns about payment handling on reinstallation and feature requests including higher frame rates and wireless syncing. Overall, the app is highly useful but needs updates and feature improvements to meet modern user needs.

### Pros

- The app effectively generates LTC timecode, serving as a low-cost alternative to expensive hardware generators.
- Works well with multiple professional devices such as BMPCC4K, Zoom F6, Tascam DR-701D, and various studio recorders.
- Provides stable timecode output without drift over several hours in certain setups.
- The free version is functional enough for basic needs, and the pro version offers enhanced features with good value.
- Users appreciate its usefulness for syncing devices and testing studio clocks.

### Cons

- Lack of compatibility and non-functionality on newer Android devices and versions (e.g., Android 14).
- Does not run in the background which limits usability when multitasking or running other apps concurrently.
- Inaccuracy and timecode drift issues in some setups when unplugged or over longer synchronization needs, impacting reliability for real productions.
- Payment and license issues on reinstalling the app on new devices despite using the same account, with poor support follow-up.
- Limited frame rate options and missing features like 60fps timecode support and network (Wi-Fi/Bluetooth) sync capabilities.
