It crashes for no apparent reason, and some cities don’t display correctly in the converter. I can’t recommend it in its current state. I’ll reconsider my rating after these issues are fixed in a future update. ### 4/5 — It’s ok *2026-02-25* I’d recommend this app does what it says with no issues just wish it had more locations available ### 4/5 — When Amercia is f hard time tiny font *2025-02-24* Australia is 13hr time different from America very confusing and frusting this smart app is great SHAME font is tiny! When it's Monday in Australia it's Sunday in America that's confusing! ### 4/5 — Awesome app very informative and easy to use *2024-11-04, version 1.6.26* This is a very good app the only problem is it’s not compatible with Dark Mode just needs updating and would be good to have an feature for Apple Watch support. 👍🏻 ### 2/5 — Needs to follow system color defaults defaults *2024-07-14* BUG: Can’t see the listing for cities. Coloring is the same. So close that you can’t see the listings at all. I use dark mode as a system default. Maybe it’s got something to do with it. If possible try to make the colors for the cities something like a generic white on black. Better yet have the listing follow the system defaults. So if you’re using dark / night mode the cities will show up respectfully. ### 2/5 — Not updated *2023-05-15* Quit using this app as Mexico stop using Daylight Savings in 2023 but app didn’t update the change. It’s an hour off for Mexico. ### 4/5 — Display *2022-10-27* Love app but wish calendar was black instead of white in the state information ### 1/5 — Don’t buy *2021-10-08* Once you buy if you reset your device or get a new device it will never restore purchase but it says hit buy button and you can enter your Apple ID then your app will be restored. Yes it will for the purchase price I bought it more time then I can count. And had to call apple for a refund after the 2 time buying and paying. Don’t hit purchase!!! ### 2/5 — Dark mode bug on city search list *2021-10-01* When using time zone converter, searching for the city to convert to, the return list displays as blank when using dark mode on your phone. This is for iPhone 12 max pro iOS 14.8 on your app 1.6.26. Please fix. ### 4/5 — Please name the timezones on map *2021-04-17* It would be very helpful if the map (which is the purchased part) with the timezones had not only the +/- time difference listed, but the actual name of the time zone listed as well. ### 1/5 — Add Cities *2021-02-15, version 1.6.26* You Barely Record any cities in my region! The map is a choice but expensive! Pretty useless! ### 1/5 — Good idea...DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY *2021-01-02* I spent money on this...do not make my mistake. I had high hopes that this app would simply allow me to keep track of different time zones when I travel but was not to be. For one, the app doesn't display searched cities (time zones) correctly to add to favorites (just leaves a blank list) and you cannot add the cities from the list as a workaround. Instructions are non-existent and the overall experience is just disappointing and buggy. ### 3/5 — App broken in dark mode *2020-11-26* Most information is blank on dark mode. ### 4/5 — Really good *2020-07-29* This is a great app, I love how easy it is to use as well, it's a lot easier to use than your other world clock app. The only problem is that when I try to leave feedback the app crashes, fix this and it'll be 5 stars. ### 1/5 — You will buy upgrades again when you get a new phone *2020-02-19* Will not upgrade to your new phone when you get one. They want you to purchase any upgrades to it again. ### 1/5 — In app purchases. *2020-01-27, version 1.6.24* I wish you had said that I had to buy an upgrade to get the time zone map. I actually like the app. It just felt sneaky about the purchase thing. ### 1/5 — Map is paid... *2020-01-06* Only needed it for this and showed it in the example but this is paid... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-02-21* I’ve had this for years but at some point it stopped working. You can load a fresh copy to have the cities it loads as default but you can no longer load your own cities. It should be taken off the App Store. It hasn’t been updated in 5 years—the developer has abandoned it. ### 1/5 — Paid version world clock gold is broken *2025-12-12, version 1.6.26* Paid for world clock gold and it doesn’t work and is not on the app store. ### 1/5 — Crashes every other second *2025-06-17, version 1.6.26* Any time I try to open the map, it crashes ### 1/5 — No longer works *2024-12-20, version 1.6.26* Take off App Store. This no longer works. No favorite cities can be added. ### 1/5 — Not Updated for YEARS *2023-11-20, version 1.6.26* No updates to reflect time zone changes. This app is wrong. ### 1/5 — Used to be a great app but useless now *2023-09-16* No longer has functionality of coming up with coty for the timezone you want to convert to, so is pretty much redundant to me now. I am a paid user of the app so quite unhappy that I paid for an app I can’t even use anymore. I’ve reported this not working but no fix. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-11-26* Lots of bugs - I tried to report them and the report screen crashed. I did get one report in. Zoom is poor - it zooms in someplace totally different from when you tap. Waste of money. I wanted world times zones and there is an app that actually does that fairly well! ### 1/5 — Map not working well *2022-11-06* I needed an app just to visualise the timezones map, so I had to buy the pro version for that. The map has a bug that makes that whenever you zoom, it brings you back to Latin America… unusable. Then I went to the menu to find options, but it’s not even readable… black text on dark background and very clear text on very clear background… it looks like the app has not been updated for long so even in terms of security that’s a big no. ### 1/5 — YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TIME ZONES MAP!?!? *2022-07-26* I understand this is the company’s way for making money but most of the time ads can support something as just a clock app, but to pay for what you intended getting the app for. Also u might as well use the three dollars to buy a hamburger at McDonald’s. Atleast it won’t be that useless. ### 1/5 — You have to buy it to make it useable *2022-02-16, version 1.6.26* What looks like a cool app in the store is not what you get. You have to pay for it. I fond other free apps that had better interface. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Super *2021-11-10* Für Börsianer die APP. Enthält alles was man braucht. ### 5/5 — World map *2020-09-07* I don’t use it very often but I love it for sport events, especially the Olympics and International Junior Hockey. Thanks. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-03-29* This app is my favourite time and date app. As well as the time zone functionality I especially use it for the accuracy check and reset, I like to know my clock is at exactly the right time. I have paid for the extra functions and it is well worth it. ### 5/5 — Great App *2019-06-21* This App has many more cities than Apple’s World Clock. I wish there was an Apple Watch version. **Developer response:** Thank you for your rating and review. Your request for a watch extension has been noted. ### 5/5 — Very accurate and up to date *2018-05-05* I've had this app for years now because it is the authority in matters of world time. It's always accurate and up to date as to any country's time zone or whether or not it is on Daylight Saving Time at any time. And just to prove the point on how up to date it is, North Korea just changed its time zone back to that of the South, and there it is, the app reflected that right away. I was amazed at how quick it was. Way to go World Clock! **Developer response:** Thanks for your rating and positive review. FYI: You are on a very old version of the app so you may want to update if you can. ### 5/5 — Great *2018-04-09* Great ### 5/5 — 5 star app *2018-03-11* Using it for last 3 years and never failed. Always works well and have small to mid sized cities from the small developing countries as well. ### 5/5 — Super duper best app for Time Zones !!! *2018-01-31* Exemple: Whenever I watch Periscope and I want to know the local time of the broadcast I am watching, I use «World clock». Before one of their maaaaany “updates”, Periscope had a clock display of the local time, but took it out. Boooo !!! 👿 Thank You World Clock for coming to the rescue !!! 👍🏽😃 ### 5/5 — My humble opinion. *2018-01-23, version 1.6.5* Awesome app. It is very handy, specially when you have friends and family abroad. ### 5/5 — Works a treat 👌 *2017-12-16* Very handy app to have 😎✔️ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
