Leave a Review World Clock Time Widget
Why a yearly subscription?
My draw to the app was to have a world clock in the widgets screen as the built in clock app in iOS doesn't for the widgets or control screens. I only am reviewing this app on the widget screen display and the app screens needed to edit the clocks.
Pro::
*) Easy read for widgets screen.
*) Easy add/edit in app.
*) Nice night/day color theme on analog display.
*) Settings change from widgets screen - nice
Con:
*) No displayed date: day only on digital, nothing on analog. Inconvenient for global needs.
*) No sort - display is “as added” only - why no re-order?
Neutral:
*) ads/nags - a bit much, but as one probably isn't in the app hourly, not a huge deal.
*) Widgets screen only has three slots; 4 is standard.
I rate 3 stars (instead of four) /only/ on the fact that the ad remove is a yearly subscription - not a one time purchase. This is a very basic clock app with not much over the built-in other than the widget ability. I’d happily toss a one-time $.99 buy to kill ads, but not $2, nor $2 yearly.Show lessJust.Some.Guy
Stop confusing yourself
I work with teams across multiple time zones and have family in Australia. Converting time is always a major hassle and when I finally realized an app could solve my problem the world got better. This is probably the simplest and most useful app I’ve ever used. I open it at least 5 times on an average day and at least a dozen when traveling. And pay for premium. Just do it.Show lessjerrificly
Good...buuuuut
Although I noticed one reviewer wrote that he liked the size and that it wasn’t larger I am not as happy with this because I need a Clock widget with really large features there is an app called Clockulus that is exactly what I want but it’s not an app. However being able to have at least a few times zones are at Quicken ready is a nice feature in the end you’re not intrusive.Show lesswoundrn1992
Excellent Application!
I gladly paid the $1.99 Premium feature minutes after installing the application on my 11-inch iPad Pro.
Like the capability of being able to choose between Analog Clock and Digital and that the theme changes apply to the widget as well.
Love the capability of being able to change the time between multiple cities (by using the slider) and immediately seeing the changes in real time- this is very helpful when calculating what a past/future time might be in relation from one city to another.
The seconds feature sealed the deal for me...
Highly recommend this application! The $1.99 yr. was a no-brainer and I would definitely encourage the developer to keep updates (if/when) in regards to this application, have no issue with subscriptions to good developers that come out with good applications at a reasonable price.Show lessBSoulMan

Wow - what a wonderful review, you have well and truly made our day over here! We are so happy to hear that you see the value in the app and we really appreciate your support. Lewis the developer loves to get feedback and feature requests from our customers as he works on improving the app, so if you have any ideas please send us a message from within the app anytime :)This App is Wonderful - Traveling Dream
My significant other travels constantly for a band and we use this app to keep us up to speed on what town and time they are in. It’s a dream - I can make a list of all the cities and then quick view them all. I can also estimate with the time calculator what time it will be for them in the future when I will be free.
We paid for the app - it was so well worth it.
Thank you!!Show lessMc_Clees
The best app
When I’m in another country or state this app let me know what time it is!! And I don’t have to look for a clock. Also when one of my Family members is away I’ll now the time it’s there and not wake her up if it’s like 1 in the morning. That’s why I love world clock!!!!👌👌👌👍👍👍👍😀😀JM is the best
Needs help
Just started using this app. It’s ok but could use some tweaks. The app immediately wants you to upgrade to the “premium” version. But there’s no details about what the premium version offers that isn’t in the free version. 2. When you want to send the authors a question, the minute you tap into the field to insert your name, the field is obscured by some remark that has no reason for being there. It’s like the field you are trying to type into scrolls up and out of sight.
3. Other minor issues that say, “The author didn’t really drive this thing around very much before publishing it and wanting people to upgrade to an unknown.Show lessskipmorgan

Hi skipmorgan Thanks for your feedback. I'll make a change to make it more clear what you get with premium, but in the meantime, the headline features are: - no ads - multiple themes - "time travel" which lets you calculate and share the time around the world - more features coming soon Re the contact form, this is a new third party component. It generally works but I've had a couple of people say that they had trouble with it. I will be in touch with them about it, but if you try again I would expect it to work work Re your final point, the app has 15 thousand reviews with a 4.65 average and has been featured by Apple several times.Yet Another Great App Gets Greedy With Unnecessary Mandatory Subscription Pricing
This was a great app that I was very happy with. I purchased the “ad free” option in November 2017 and had no issues with it until March 2019. It was updated with very minor compatibility and feature updates about a half dozen times between those two dates. In March 2019, I get a notice via a software update note that my permanent “ad free” option was being discontinued at the conclusion of 2019 and that I would now need to pay the same amount as the old permanent “ad free” option on a yearly basis to keep my “ad free” benefits active. I no longer trust this developer after this stunt. “Caveat emptor” indeed.Show lessTennavan
Perfect, but...
I really like my World Clock app. Everyday, it's a stellar quick reference. I'm a 40-year veteran of international business travel. Yeah, one of those 250k air miles a year guys that international business class flight attendants know without looking at the manifest. I love clocks, watch complications, to be specific. Am I losing you Apple wearable fans (not a watch...period). Lewis, Lewis, Lewis, shaking my head. Why do you punish me with digital displays in the widget! Ugh!!! I can't give you five stars for abusing me with digital. Very pleased to be a Premium user. Thanks.Show lessg_l_h

UPDATE: We just wanted to let you know that analog clocks can now be shown in the widget :) hey there, thanks for your kind words. Putting analogue display into the widget is very high on my todo list. As for an Apple Watch version, I did originally do this but Apple would not let me release it because they said if conflicted with their own world clocks app. It _seems_ as though that has been relaxed now, but the only way to find out for sure will be to make a new watch app (the old one will no longer work because of changes in watchOS). This is also high on my todo list, but I am more nervous with this in case Apple blocks it. I hope that makes sense? Thanks again LewisPay!?!
First of all you have to pay for almost everything and what you don’t have to pay for you can simply just go on the already installed “clock” app I downloaded this app because I wanted to use what they call “time travel” feature while I tried to access it it said upgrade to use this feature so I thought it meant update the app instead it was trying to make me pay 3.99 no this is not to much but it says nothing about paying I am having so much difficulty trying to find a app with the “time travel” feature for free because I want it so I can access it quickly because I feel that I will not use it enough to pay for itShow lessKayleigh_753

Hi Kayleigh_753, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. Many people use the app and widget for free, but there are additional features of the app which are only available if you upgrade. We understand your frustration and will review our messaging to ensure that this is clearer in future.
