## What is Zones?

Zones is the simplest way to convert time zones between cities around the world.

- Get a quick list of your favourite chosen time zones in the app.

- Rename any of your cities to reflect who or what you're keeping track of from that city.

- Easy conversion: tap on any favourite time zone to present a selected time in all of your other time zones.

- Pick your city list layout from a range of options.

- Multiple themes and icons to choose from, as well as dark mode support.

- Includes a huge database of cities from every country in the world.

- Full iPad support, including a grid view (also available on iPhone), and full split-screen multitasking support.

- Share the selected times in your favourite cities through email, message or other apps that support text sharing. You can schedule a meeting for different locations and let them all know the correct time for their location!

- Access your list of favourite time zones from the Today Widget in Notification Centre.

If you have friends or family in another city, conduct business overseas, or travel a lot, Zones makes it incredibly easy to quickly check the current time, or convert using a specific time and date.

Make sure you won't wake your parents up when you call, or check the time for your important conference call in a few days. Within the app you can add as many favourite cities as you like from a huge database that includes cities all over the world.

At any time you are able to select one of your cities, and set the time for that location, allowing you to see the relative time in all your other cities. When you're done, it's easy to reset to the current time.

### 5/5 — TIME IS PRECIOUS

*2025-01-10*

I was looking for something that was easy, fast, and simple: and this app does it all. This app enables one to immediately convert local time to other time zones when you want to plan out future contact times for phone calls, meetings, etc. This app is so much better than the World Clock App because of its flexibility.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2024-10-14, version 4.1.0*

The best app ever to compare time zones and timeshift!

### 5/5 — Best time zone app!

*2024-09-09*

Best time zone app! Easy to use, simple to read at a glance. Thank you!

### 5/5 — It’s better then one of my other time zone apps

*2024-07-19*

Granted my other app has one city that doesn’t give you the right time so far that’s one city more than what I found on this app

### 5/5 — Very useful

*2024-03-19, version 4.1.0*

If you’re planning a holiday in different countries then this is the app for you. Extremely useful app. A few quirky bugs but overall excellent.

### 5/5 — Still great in 2024

*2024-01-19*

Downloaded a few of these looking around trying to find one that’s not shady with data as well as not hammering me with adds and pay walls. This is the go to and the upgrade is a one time buy of like 3 bucks, but honestly they give you everything you need for free it’s a great app.

### 5/5 — Beautifully designed app with great free version

*2023-12-31, version 4.1.0*

Even though the free version was more than enough for my use, I just purchased the full version to support the developer.

The app is beautiful and I would say a lot of time and effort has gone in to its design. I think what sets it apart, is it is super functional and does what you want very well. 

Highly recommend a download and purchase if you can 👍.

### 3/5 — Works as advertised

*2023-12-03*

It has a good widget. And multiple timezones can be added to the view.  It would be nice if the user could customize how the times are formatted when copied to email.  The current format lists the cities without displaying the timezone. I would rather hide the city name and display the timezone at the end of the entry.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2023-11-19*

I use it to decide when to schedule calls with relatives and friends around the world 🌎 👏🏼

### 3/5 — Time for an update

*2023-11-06, version 4.1.0*
