Good job developers..! ### 5/5 — Very helpful app *2014-07-30, version 29.0.2* I travel within the US and internationally as a part of my work.

(St Petersburg and Moscow). This app got me everywhere I needed to be on time. Alarm clock works great. Thank you for your work. Travel was more fun with your app. CJ ### 5/5 — Handy and reliable world clock *2014-06-25, version 29.0.1* A reliable world clock to track family or friend travelers so no one gets a call @ 3 AM unless it's a true emergency. Great alarm clock wherever you are. I use this app constantly. ### 5/5 — Great desktop worldtime reference *2014-05-14, version 29.0.1* For most people, world clocks are just a fancy toy. But if you need to work with people from different time zones, this is a great app to display the times via your iPhone or iPad. I always check it before I call abroad. ### 5/5 — Great App *2014-05-11, version 29.0.1* I've had this App for more than a year and I totally love it!! It is beautifly designed and makes it very easy to keep track of time zones in other countries. Since my husband travels a lot I can always know at which time to expect his call. ### 5/5 — World Clocks *2014-04-22, version 29.0.1* The name says it all. The displays are elegant and accurate. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2014-03-13, version 29* Travel a lot & use this App all the time. Many great features. Never have a problem. Try it! ### 5/5 — Great app for monitoring global time *2014-03-09, version 29* Love this app. It's on my phone, desktop, and laptop. Helps me keep track of time for projects in Africa. I use it daily. ### 5/5 — Good times lol *2014-03-07, version 29* Love the app love the chimes I get every hour...ppl ask what it is an I tell them so hope they buy your app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not as good as before *2011-06-15, version 16* The new version is too diffcult to use. The background map on my iPad does not show ... just looks like a horizon or something. Need to stop making the app more complicated and stick to simple. Worked much better before. Some upgrades (and you are seeing it here) are just not worth the time and effort. Back to old version would be nice! ### 1/5 — So-so *2010-08-30, version 0* No options (other than to pick cities.) No option to reduce number of clocks. No option to change background - just very boring grey. No option to change clock style/appearance. ### 1/5 — News Clocks *2010-07-04, version 0* Wanted to be able to display clocks in multiple cities that I choose, this is not the application for this purpose. A waste of .99 ### 1/5 — Don't trust the 5 star ratings *2010-06-21, version 0* The 5 star hype seems to be self-advertizing. The way you select cities is stupid: you tap on a clock ad it changes to a random city. And there seems no way to get the old selection back. Just search the App Store for World Clock and you will find much better options! ### 1/5 — Just okay *2010-06-19, version 0* This, in my humble opinion, is only okay. I was hoping for more cities at once or more options at once or more something. I never did understand the box with options to choose "more cities" for certain parts of the world. If changing the settings there did anything, I'm not aware of what. Since writing the above, I've installed Worldwide Clock HD, which I've found to be far superior to News Clocks. Other reviews consisting of vaguely-worded advertising hype notwithstanding, News Clocks is attractive, but a minimal program. I've changed my rating from 2 stars to 1. ### 2/5 — news clocks *2010-11-08, version 0* unless an upgrade includes daylight saving changes the app is not worth much ### 3/5 — Please add a 24 hour option! *2024-04-22* This clock app would work better for Military if 24 hour clock was an option. ### 3/5 — Clocks Disappeared *2020-12-24, version 30* After the upgrade, all the clocks disappeared. ### 3/5 — Needs Update *2016-12-02, version 29.1* I am sick of the message from Apple telling me to get this app updated to speed up its use with the new operating system. ### 3/5 — News Clock Update Flawed *2011-06-14, version 16* The most recent June 2011 Update doesn't show the background map on my Verizon iPhone 4. Otherwise, it's a pretty decent app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant time piece *2020-08-14, version 29.3* We are kiwis living in Florida and have family living all over the place. This international clock allows me to see what the time is whenever we want to make a phone call. I think the layout and the way the clocks can be presented is just excellent. ### 5/5 — Global projects *2020-04-18, version 29.3* I am lucky enough to have a job producing corporate meetings all over the world, so this app is invaluable keeping track of projects that are in various stages of development. In my home office, I have a full scale wall version with nine real clocks on it! ### 5/5 — Don’t travel with out this app *2018-04-09, version 29.3* Keeps all time you’ll ever need!!! ### 5/5 — Dvl *2017-03-24, version 29.1* Great app. Simple to use and makes sense. ### 5/5 — Global Clocks *2016-10-25, version 29.1* Great app for world travellers! ### 5/5 — A Timely World *2016-06-25, version 29.1* Great App! With just a tap... I know the time anywhere in the world! Very timely! ### 5/5 — Great app *2016-05-30, version 29.1* This is a great app, I use it to manage time with tennis locations. All over the world, following Tennis grand slam championship. Wish I could use it as an alarm clock. ### 5/5 — Dependable *2016-03-13, version 29.1* Works like a charm ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2016-01-17, version 29.1* Best ever, clean look, a must have ### 5/5 — My go to travel clock *2015-12-15, version 29.1* Simple, easy, useful, nice layout for iPad & phone. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
