Almost perfect
Not another subscription

Slow or no support
I paid for this app, there is a bug in it. I have written for support many times without any real answer about fixing it.
The bug makes it unusable in my time zone. So NO, DONT BUY IT!

There’s an issue with this app, at least in my time zone. When I click on the “NOW” button, the time is one hour ahead of my time. I have sent several requests to support asking about this issue without any response. The problem is I have already subscribed! Check everything in this app before you give away your money!!

Sorry, maybe I’ll stick with defaults
Regarding the one year free subscription for customers who bought Zones for one time payment, sounds like a slap to the face when Zones has only been around on the App Store for 4 months. Emphasis on the time I meant on the App Store, not time testing and developing before the launch.
I’m beginning to wonder what features did I pay for initially? As much as I like to think it is nice I supported indie devs, it is pretty sad because I don’t really blame anyone except maybe there is no better solution than a subscription at the moment.
Sorry dev, not really upset, just had a feeling eventually legacy users will be forgotten because there is no such thing as “legacy”.
Response from developer
Hi! Thank you for reaching out and sharing your thoughts on our move to subscriptions for Zones. Our intent with making Zones free for everyone and making a Zones+ tier is to make a great app available to even more users. As part of that move, some of our existing features wouldn't scale for the number of free users we are expecting. So we have to have them behind a paywall, we plan to add many more features to Zones+. Our goal is to provide a great free experience as well as a great subscription based experience. We value our free customers just as much we value our subscribers, and our initial customers even more so. That is why we wanted to extend one year of free Zones+, to try all the existing, new and future features planned for this year. Beyond the first year, we hope you'll find recurring value in Zones, but if you don't, we're continuously working on creating a great free experience for Zones, we'll never pester you to subscribe.
Great little app!
One suggestion, as you include the weather, it would be helpful to index towns as well as cities for a more local experience.
Zones solves a complicated problem with the simplicity of a beautifully designed interface
The Zones app solves all of this because you can see the time zone differences for any date and time. But the real magic of this app is a cleverly designed user interface that is beautiful, functional and easy to understand. Thanks so much for putting all of this into one app.
