We present the first results obtained by the application of the KYNREFREV-reverberation model, which is ready for its use in XSPEC. This model computes the time-dependent reflection spectra of the disc as a response to a flash of primary power-law radiation from a point source corona located on the axis of the black hole accretion disc (lamp-post geometry). Full relativistic effects are taken into account. The ionization of the disc is set for each radius according to the amount of the incident primary flux and the density of the accretion disc. We tested the model by fitting model predictions to the observed time-lag spectra of three Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (ARK 564, MCG-6-30-15, and 1H 0707-495), assuming either a rapidly or zero-spinning black hole (BH).
