### 5/5 — AoE

*2026-02-10*

I’ve loved this app since it was a widget back in 2012.  The only think it’s missing for me at the moment is to add AoE as a location, would help greatly with conference and other deadlines

### 5/5 — The Original and Still the Best

*2024-11-27*

I’ve been using this for over 10 years and it’s been a critical business tool for at-a-glance planing of multi-timezone meetings.

I hope the developer and app gets more exposure and development keeps going if any iOS changes cause compatibility issues.

### 5/5 — Still the best of it’s kind

*2024-09-09*

I have been using this app for years. I check occasionally to see if other apps, better ones, have appeared but none have. Still the best functionality and design. Works brilliantly.

### 5/5 — Reliable app for many years

*2023-02-23*

I have been using TimeScroller for more years than I can remember! (Probably around 10 at this point) I remain impressed with how often I find myself needing the functionality and customizability this app offers. This app should be included in any essential toolkit for anyone that has co-workers or family members in a variety of timezones.

I love that the developer has not changed the UI 486 times in 10 years. One of the best things this app has offered me is a stable and consistent UI that many other app developers should learn from. (Leave things alone)
Thanks again for this wonderful resource!

### 5/5 — My go to app for times of the world

*2022-09-28*

if you wanna know what time it is in the world this is the app for you. It is the easiest way to find out what time it’s going to be when you want it to be anywhere in the world. 

For example, if you want to know what time it is in Japan, when it’s 8 o’clock in the morning this app will show you.  

Been using this app for years and it works great all the time

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2022-08-09*

Had this app for years. Keep seeing if anything new has come along and nothing compares. Visually clear and concise, simple to use and powerful.

### 5/5 — A classic essential.  Long may it reign.

*2022-04-24, version 2.9*

The design hasn’t changed in years.  Nor has its ease of use, it’s functionality, and it’s place on my phone.  It does the job flawlessly.  If you need to know when in the world multiple  colleagues or family members are going to be in the office (or just awake) now, “tomorrow  morning,” or in six months, this app is going to be your most superbest pal.

### 4/5 — Time scroller.

*2021-12-26, version 2.9*

Real 😎

### 4/5 — Great app, wish there was an iPad version too

*2020-11-18*

I use this for all my international meeting scheduling. It handles daylight savings in various regions with ease too.
I do wish that there was an iPad version of it, as seeing the screen transform into a rotated & pixelated iPhone screen simulation when launching it on my iPad in landscape mode is both inconvenient and annoying.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2020-09-06*

Brilliantly simple app. Clearly shows time differences in different locations and use a traffic light system so you can plan when’s a good time to call family and friends overseas.
