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 ### 4/5 — iPhone 7 all good now *2017-07-22, version 4.3.2* Doesn't crash anymore on start. Thanks for updating guys. ### 5/5 — Crashed *2017-07-19, version 4.3.1* Just delete and reinstall. ### 5/5 — Latest update crashes *2017-07-19, version 4.3.1* Latest update still crashes. Just great... ☹️ ### 4/5 — Good App but.. *2017-07-19, version 4.3.1* Good app. The only real problem I have with it is that it always defaults to Los Angeles time, why not keep it on the time zone I leave it at (minus one star). Update: Seems to stay with my time zone after closing. Another update: After update app would crash trying to open. Deleted app, then reinstall the app and it seems to work. ### 4/5 — SIGUE SIN FUNCIONAR *2017-07-18, version 4.3.1* Mandaron otra actualización y el APP sigue sin funcionar. Que no hacen pruebas antes de mandarlo al APP STORE? ### 3/5 — App Crashes Upon Opening *2017-07-18, version 4.3.0* **Update** If you delete the app and reinstall it, it functions properly! Just downloaded the latest update and now the app crashes upon opening. ### 4/5 — Easy to use *2017-07-18, version 4.3.0* Easy to use app for Zulu time and date. Crashes after update, so I deleted it and downloaded it again, works fine ### 3/5 — Good App / Bug *2015-10-20, version 4.1.0* App works great but widget has a bug, it doesn't reset at 23:59. ### 5/5 — Intuitive and appealing *2015-03-01, version 4.1.0* I think this is the best time zone app because it looks great and it's free! I'm not even a pilot but I like knowing what all the time zones are. Love the interface too. ### 2/5 — Previous version was better. *2014-06-28, version 4.0.1* Agree with Jim, previous version was better. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2017-07-18, version 4.3.1* Newest revision crashes ### 1/5 — Doesn't work after update *2017-07-18, version 4.3.1* Updated and now won't even load, same for the widget- don't update! Update: 7/18/2017- updated the new one and still won't even open or load. ### 1/5 — Even after last update still crash *2017-07-18, version 4.3.1* Even after last update still crash upon startup fix it asap ### 1/5 — Crashes instantly now every time *2017-07-18, version 4.3.0* Latest version will not load & crashes instantly - Sad face now! :( ### 1/5 — Crash *2017-07-16, version 4.3.0* You guys need a fix for the fix. ### 1/5 — Kaput!!! *2017-07-14, version 4.3.0* I have delete this favorite app since the update crashes instantly. Bummer; was a good enough WORKING app prior to my updating. I should have read the current version reviews here prior to giving the 'go ahead' to update. If it ain't broke, developers, leave it alone or get beta-testers who know what they're doing before releasing. ### 1/5 — Incorrect Time Zones & Bad Cust. Service *2015-09-29, version 4.1.0* The Time Zone names are incorrect. So, as a feature request, I asked if they include the proper time zone names, in a future release. But WillowTree customer service just argued, and kept arguing about it. I'll be avoiding all products from WillowTree, from now on. ### 1/5 — DON'T "upgrade!" *2014-11-20, version 4.1.0* The only difference in the "upgrade" is that you will now be plagued by ads! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2014-09-06, version 4.0.1* Crashes if you change the time zone ### 1/5 — Pilot Time *2014-05-07, version 4.0.0* Program worked perfectly well until the "improvements" for IOS7. Now it doesn't work at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Great *2017-07-21, version 4.3.2* Fixed the crashes! ### 5/5 — Perfect App before update! *2017-07-21, version 4.3.2* This best UTC pilot app on the store - Thank you for fixing the crash issues! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
