User Reviews

Users praise Tentacle Setup for ease of use, centralized timecode control across devices, and reliable basic utilities, with solid on-set performance. However, multiple reviews note compatibility issues with newer iPhone hardware and legacy equipment, and some report stability problems after updates (crashes/loops). Overall, it’s a strong timecode solution with room to improve device compatibility and update reliability.

Pros

Easy to use and intuitive with a clean UI; reviewers say the app 'just works' across setups.
Centralized control and reliable timecode synchronization across Sync E and Track E units with remote monitoring.
Lightweight, unobtrusive workflow that keeps on-set hardware usage minimal.
Reliable performance over years with minimal problems and strong basic timecode utilities.

Cons

Compatibility gaps with newer iPhone hardware (USB-C) and legacy boxes; ongoing app updates are needed.
Stability issues after updates, including crashes and occasional looping that disrupt workflow.

Recent reviews

I have the legacy tentacles and I can’t change the frame rate anymore since I’ve upgraded to a new iPhone with USB-C. Please update your app. I know you’re probably doing this to force people into buying the new tentacles, but I’d rather buy Denecke’s if I need to upgrade because of your lack of support.

I use Tentacle Sync E mk II for timecode to all of my cinema cameras. I used to prefer to not use my personal phone or laptop but I’ve embraced the speed and simplicity of using software and having easy visibility into everything happening on set, including Sync E, Aputure, Teradek. This just makes life easier on set, prevents mishaps that can cause problems, and lets everyone work faster. Big props to Tentacle for being one of the first ones to do it, and do it extremely well!
