Basic use
When launched, the app connects to the default public server at
nepp.kenic.jp:56377/UDP and obtains the current Earth Date. After
synchronization, it advances the display locally using the Earth Date Rate
received from the server.
- Refresh button: synchronize immediately
- Tap the Earth Date: show the conventional date and time
- Gear button: server, port, Version, and website
If synchronization fails
- Confirm that Wi-Fi or mobile data is available.
- Open the gear screen and confirm that the server is
nepp.kenic.jpand the port is56377. - Some networks restrict UDP traffic. Try switching between Wi-Fi and a mobile network.
- Quit and relaunch the app.
