Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

PublicNTP’s Time Server App lets you turn your phone into a mobile SNTP time-keeper. NTP servers are necessary for keeping devices synced to atomic-accurate time. Join a worldwide community and help keep time straight for thousands. KEEP TRACK OF TIME DOWN TO MILLIONTHS OF A SECOND As a time server, your phone will have connections to dozens of other GPS devices and NTP servers. Get your time from the most accurate sources and provide a necessary point of reference between other receivers to ensure that all neighboring devices are accurate in parallel. SEE YOUR LATITUDINAL/LONGITUDINAL LOCATION DOWN TO THE NEAREST METER Satellite triangulation with GPS allows you to observe your personal location on the globe to mere feet. And as a server making communication with GPS sources, your location will update as often as you want it to. Know your place in the wider world! FIND THE SATELLITES IN THE SKY SUPPORTING YOUR PERSONAL GPS Speaking of satellites, with the touch of a button you can find out their location as well. The low-orbit network of lightspeed information is at your fingertips. WATCH YOUR SERVER TRAFFIC As a time server, you’ll play host to a thousand devices relying on your accurate measurements. Keep track of mile a minute requests measured out in precise graphs in real time. SEE THE DIFFERENCE YOU’RE MAKING As the world depends on faster and faster transactions of information, a reliable source of time is required for all of it to remain secure. It’s a small piece of a grander picture but it’s a distinct and impactful role. A NO-COST, OPEN SOURCE WAY INTO THE FUTURE In this rapid, developing, digital world, the one constant is time. And the ability to provide it is a small service that PublicNTP is excited to help you possess. Use our app, enjoy it, and if you’re daring enough: download the code! We want to see how an eager community can take our tools, make them better, and show the world what time is all about. Open-source on GitHub: https://github.com/PublicNTP/time-server-app

Time Server App APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Time Server App APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is fc3f0055f9af9428dfc99810baa8bcc9.
