### 1/5 — App freezes

*2022-11-05*

It may have been a great app 7 yrs ago, but it doesn’t work except the weather. Then can’t change screen, or pull down menu. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Why can’t I see the Metar and TAFs?

*2021-02-03*

Got this and paid full lifetime membership only to find that the Metar and TAFs don’t show?! What the heck?

### 1/5 — R app don’t work.

*2019-01-08*

R app don’t work

### 5/5 — Best of the Best

*2018-12-27, version 2.0.8*

This app is like having a Rolex GTM II with you. The weather feature is first rate. You can’t do any better than Butler. Their writ watches are supurb.

### 5/5 — Johnnie

*2018-05-20, version 2.0.7*

This app is very useful. Three different time zone i like it.

### 1/5 — 30 minute offset not working

*2018-03-01*

I live in Newfoundland . The app is telling me that it is 2:70 a.m.

### 5/5 — KG4JXH- i like using for portable HF ops!

*2017-12-10*

It is Handy, Great to use to record the time of the voice contacts i make while we are doing portable High Frequency radio operations! 😎THANKS !!!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2017-02-23*

Awesome app, beautiful watches. Why use another app for time when this one looks so nice?. It gives GMT date and time as well as local with weather. Very solid smooth running app.

### 4/5 — Clean, simple, and useful.

*2015-12-03*

This is a great app if being able to read GMT at a glance in a dark hotel room is as important in your life as it is mine. A GMT alarm is a much needed feature. (Hence, my four star rating rather than 5 star.) I like the analog face so much that I bought a Butler GMT wrist watch!

### 5/5 — Brilliant design

*2015-10-31*

Wonderful and useful app for both the aviator and novice. Clean design and features. A nice pairing to the Butler Watch.

-Other minor bug fixes and improvements

### 2.0.5 — 2017-11-13

We found a bug causing timezones with 30-minute offsets to be offset by an hour instead. Obviously, that's not terribly useful. So we fixed it along with a few other minor bugs. 

Also, in case you missed it, Apple released the iPhone X! Time Flies now has an increased resolution and improved color spectrum to look great on the new OLED display! Time Flies isn't quite ready to be fullscreen on the iPhone X yet but worry not, it's coming soon! 

We also made several under-the-hood tweaks and improvements but you'd find those far less interesting (we promise) so we'll spare you the gritty details.
