### 5/5 — Faultless across time zones

*2025-10-01, version 3.2.8*

I’ve used this monthly for over four years. The great test for any time zone app is to check, for instance, Seattle, London UK, and Sydney Australia.

### 1/5 — Nothing like the website

*2025-09-20, version 3.2.8*

What a let down. After paying $8 for this app, with the expectation that it will be similar to or better than the website, I find out that the app doesn’t even get the time right for some countries! 

Give people the option of trialling this app before spending money on it. What a scam 

Where’s the refund button??

### 1/5 — Don’t be fooled

*2025-07-06, version 3.2.8*

Everyone! The images on App Store make this look appealing. Don’t be fooled. This seriously is not usable. The last update was from
3 years ago. Stay away from
The iOS version. The website works well. The app - horrible.

### 2/5 — Very limited functionality

*2024-11-19, version 3.2.8*

This app is called a meeting planner but it doesn’t let you see the match up of timezones over several days or even a whole day. All it does is show you what time it is elsewhere on a given time and day in your timezone. You have to manually search each option. Other planners show the whole day mapped against all the other timezones. It also only has one screen “create event” (and the subordinate one showing planned events, I guess), but I’m not using the the thing to record events; I wanted it for ease of planning across timezones. It really doesn’t deliver.

### 4/5 — A GEM OF AN APP, Needs fix: future meetings months away

*2022-03-10, version 3.2.8*

I love this app, so much better than going to the website every time.  I live in Hawai’i and have Meetings in Zoom in Australia.  We are close, and yet far away in time.   This close to Int Dateline, the distance gets closed, but flipped a day apart, so harder to estimate.

Apart from this it is a GEM, and I wish I had discovered this fix much sooner.

I checked every available menu, and did not find a way to choose a different month… Like way in future… Correct me if I am wrong!

### 1/5 — Cant add anything in California

*2021-11-27, version 3.2.7*

I was able to add Manila Philippines… but not California, not Los Angeles and not my home address….

Cant read dark grey print on black…..

I had to pay to try it, so I will contact Apple to refund, and ban this app…

### 1/5 — Paid app and no dark mode

*2021-10-24, version 3.2.7*

Seriously? I pay money for this app and it doesn’t work in dark mode. Can’t see the text. Waste of money for lame engineering.

### 3/5 — Very useful, but unusable with dark mode

*2021-09-01, version 3.2.7*

It’s a really helpful little app. My device is set with dark mode, which makes it impossible to use if wants to edit locations. Hope it’ll get fixed.

### 3/5 — Cannot use it in dark mode

*2021-08-13, version 3.2.7*

App works well, however currently if you use dark mode on your phone.  The app is not usable, fonts are not visible when trying to add locations ect.  Disappointing as it’s a great app otherwise.

### 1/5 — ! World Money Stealer : Do Not Buy !

*2021-08-01, version 3.2.7*

Assuming it would be as simple as the desktop site, I thought why not have the app?

It’s a completely useless app. 

Does not show your city. 

Does not even show time zones. 

Does not even work.

Zero. 

Zilch. 

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!
