## What is Pilot Time?

Stop converting time in your head! See local, military, and UTC time (GMT and Zulu time zones) with a tap.

Developed by pilots who can never remember the current UTC (GMT/Zulu) time conversion, Pilot Time instantly gives you the current time and date for your zone, plus UTC time. 

Pilot Time can:
- Compare the time and date at your current location (in 12-hour format and 24-hour format) to UTC time.  
- Show the 3 time zones you looked at most recently, plus UTC time.
- Quickly convert any past, current, or future time to or from any time zone (including GMT).

And selecting time zones is easy: first find the continent, then the city you want. No more mental calculations. 

(The time is provided by your phone's operating system, not a central server. Time zones are taken from the IANA Time Zone Database.)

## Key features

- View local, military, and UTC time
- Compare current location time to UTC
- Display frequently used time zones
- Convert past, current, and future times

### 5/5 — exactly what is needed with no bloat

*2025-05-26, version 4.4.0*

exactly what is needed with no bloat

### 5/5 — iOS 18

*2024-09-27, version 4.4.0*

This has been a great app. However, when I updated to iOS 18, there is no longer an option to add a widget to the screen.

### 3/5 — Great. But I can do without the damm ads

*2021-06-06, version 4.3.2*

I hate having to put up with ads on company equipment

### 5/5 — Just what I needed!

*2020-08-12, version 4.3.2*

Perfect tool for my astronomy hobby!

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2020-06-17, version 4.3.2*

This app is perfect. It offers an iOS Widget so you can just slide to the left on your home screen and get Local and Zulu in 24 hour format!

Clean UI, and Free. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Perfect ..

*2019-10-08, version 4.3.2*

I am a seafarer & I keep travelling to new country every another day. I always need to adjust time accordingly. I loved this app as it works offline too.  And remember Indian Time Zone shown +5.5 which means 5:30min., which is right.

### 5/5 — Handy companion app for flight sims too

*2019-01-16, version 4.3.2*

I’m what you would call a casual simulation enthusiast.  I enjoy setting my racing and flight sims to run on real-time whether and (well...) time.  Whether conditions is one of those take it as it comes type of situations, whereas it is nice to know how much light I have to work with.  Normally to get the local time for a certain area, I would need to go into my Clock app then add a new zone and remove it - This app lets you check the zones without cluttering up you world clock tab with irrelevant time zones.

### 5/5 — Revised review!

*2017-07-22, version 4.3.2*

App was broken. No longer the case. Thanks to the developers for responding - a first for me.

### 5/5 — Newest AppStore Version Crashes on Load

*2017-07-22, version 4.3.2*

When I just now updated the last version of Pilot Time on my iPhone SE w/64GB and running iOS 10.3.2 (14F89) to the one posted today and tried to launch it, the app looked like it was trying to start but then quit before launching. Also, the widget simply reads “UNABLE TO LOAD”.

2017-07-21 20:46
My rating is back to where it should be (5 stars) due to developer responsiveness and a really good app that does what it says it does.

### 4/5 — iPhone 7 all good now

*2017-07-22, version 4.3.2*

Doesn't crash anymore on start.
Thanks for updating guys.
