This application emulates the Time Circuit Panel, similar to installed into the DeLorean Time Machine, an invention of Doc Brown, the key character of one of the best movies of 80th (you know, which one - "Back To The Future"). It's not just a mock-up, but a functional timer device. "Present Time" displays the current system time of your iPhone or iPod (could be a nice stylish digital clock for your car), "Last Time Departed" is the time when you started the application for a last time. "Destination Time" is the time when the application will give a signal - electronic alarm sound. On iPhone, you can enable the "88MPH Time Travel Simulation" option. After that application uses the built-in GPS to check your current speed. When it reaches 88 MPH application plays some sounds and switching the "Present Time" to your "Destination" - like you just jumped over the time. Application "come back" automatically after several seconds. Please note and take this VERY SERIOUS -speed of 88 MPH is ILLEGAL on the MOST of the public roads. Double check this before your experiments and always keep the safety. This feature will not work well on iPods and not-3G iPads - the real hardware GPS chip is required. On the "Time Distance" screen you can see the number of seconds, minutes, hours, days and weeks between Present and Destination time. This screen is available by tapping the "DIST" label. You can change the "Destination TIme" by tapping the screen slightly above or slightly below the digits. Keypad to enter the Destination time available on tap on the Destionation time numbers. Enter "05" for March, "06" for June, etc. "0" and "1" sets the AM/PM time. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions about additional functionality, there is a big chance they will be implemented in next release.

It’s didn’t crash and works alright! However if the developers are reading this please make it so the keypad has accurate movie sfx, and if possible Mabey add the flux capacitor when I hold the phone vertical, and when I hold the flux capacitor down the dates will change kinda like the old app. Either way I LOVE THIS APP! ### 2/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2025-06-09* Bildschirm immer 90 Grad verdreht ### 5/5 — Request *2025-05-15* This app is really great I really enjoy the app and its features but I would be. Nice to have flux capacitor and be able to when you change present it auto maticly saves I did change the present but when I got back in the app It switched back to 2025 my destination time 9999 but didn’t save when I got back. In ### 4/5 — Car play *2023-08-22* Please make this available for Apple car play, it would be perfect ### 4/5 — MAKE THIS COMPATIBLE WITH CAR PLAY *2023-05-29* Please!!! This app will be absolutely amazing if it was compatible with apple car play. Suggestions, I'm not saying get rid of the 88mph speed limit, but it would be nice if we can change the speed in settings to 55, 66, 77 mph to comply to some local laws. Please fix the glitches, make it easier to type in the date, increase the resolution, and make it compatible with iPhone X and later screen sizes. (Most importantly car play!) ### 1/5 — Trash *2023-02-01* The other flux capacitor app is far better! ### 2/5 — Right side up? *2022-12-09* No matter how I tilt my iPad, it is always 90 degrees off. Things seem to work. I like the “Dist” display that shows years,months,days etc. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2022-04-21* This is a waste of money ### 5/5 — 早く *2022-01-24* 日本語対応待ってまーす ## Frequently asked questions about DeLoraen Time Circuit ### What does the DeLorean Time Circuit app do? This application emulates the Time Circuit Panel from the DeLorean Time Machine featured in a popular 80s movie. It functions as a timer, displaying the current time, the last time the app was opened, and a destination time. It can also provide an alarm when the destination time is reached. ### What is the 88 MPH Time Travel Simulation feature? On iPhones, this feature uses GPS to track your speed. When you reach 88 MPH, the app plays sounds and simulates a time jump by changing the 'Present Time' to your 'Destination Time' for a few seconds. This feature requires a hardware GPS chip and is not recommended for use on public roads due to speed limits. ### How do I set the destination time? You can set the destination time by tapping slightly above or below the digits on the screen. A keypad will appear when you tap the destination time numbers, allowing you to enter the desired time. You can use '05' for March, '06' for June, and '0' or '1' to set AM/PM. ### Is this app compatible with all devices? The core timer functionality works on iPhones and iPods. The '88MPH Time Travel Simulation' feature specifically requires a hardware GPS chip and will not work well on iPods or iPads without 3G connectivity. ### What is the 'Time Distance' screen? The 'Time Distance' screen, accessible by tapping the 'DIST' label, shows the difference between your 'Present Time' and 'Destination Time' in seconds, minutes, hours, days, and weeks. This helps you visualize the time gap you are setting. ## Version history (last 5 releases) ### 4.2 — 2024-12-31 - Tested on latest iOS version ### 4.1.9 — 2018-03-22 This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. - Tested on latest iOS version; ### 4.1 — 2016-09-22 4.1: - iOS 10 tested and fixed; ### 3.1 — 2010-09-18 Version 3.1: - New startup and date setting sound; - 88 MPH time travel simulation option; Version 2.1: - Keypad to enter the Destination time available on tap on the Destionation time numbers.
