### 4/5 — شكر

*2025-09-23, version 1.27*

جزيلا

### 4/5 — Almost Perfect

*2025-09-01*

If app would override screen lock and stay OPEN, that would rate “5” in the review score.

### 5/5 — Worth it!!!

*2025-01-18*

I love the widget with the UTC time and my time it’s perfect for what I need it for! Great little app! Worth paying for for me! Thank you

### 5/5 — Simple, clean design

*2025-01-10*

So, besides a collection of WX apps, I have a plethora of time/clock apps They have all been displaced by this one - Zulu Time Now. Simple, functional, clean design. And best iOS watch complication for this purpose.

### 5/5 — Great value

*2024-12-03*

Great for all pilots, highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Time

### 5/5 — Excellent App!

*2024-10-09*

I use this for Ham radio contacts around the world.
Works perfect!

### 3/5 — App does what it says but widget doesn’t

*2024-09-16*

The widget uses a 12h clock no matter what settings changes occur. This is harder to read than 24h.. the widget and clock settings should be in parity, especially for a paid app.

### 5/5 — Zulu time is fun-

*2024-06-23*

Now that I found this app - I am no longer screwing up the time conversion. 

Love it. May buy the premium for my Apple Watch.

### 5/5 — Pilot

### 5/5 — UTC time

*2024-03-27, version 1.2*

### 1/5 — No Permanent Apple Watch Face

*2026-05-15*

This app does not have an actual watch face. You have to click the app to display Zulu time.

Additionally, they make you restore purchases so often that the app is basically unusable.

### 1/5 — Complications

*2025-03-09, version 1.24*

Just shows the hour and a Z.  I need the hour min and seconds and the dat.  This is waste of money.

### 1/5 — Disgustingly misleading

*2025-02-25, version 1.24*

APPLE WATCH USERS - skip this app over entirely - as there is no point because you have to upgrade to premium to use to watch widget. Absolutely pitiful

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2024-12-03*

My phone started lagging after using the app so I deleted it immediately. They are most likely taking your data and info once you pay for premium, it is not a free app so need to waste your time!

**Developer response:** Hello, thank you for trying the app. The app is free, with an optional one-time fee to unlock all features. I assure you that this app is not a scam and runs efficiently for thousands of satisfied users. If you encountered an issue, feel free to share details, and we’d be happy to help!

### 1/5 — Remove the Zulu stamp from the face!

*2024-11-12, version 1.21*

I didn’t buy the PREMIUM app to be stuck looking at the Zulu brand name on my watch. Unsightly.

### 1/5 — HarassWare

*2024-04-26*

Yeah we get it....baitware.  Not only is the popup harassing you to upgrade each time you open the app, and the huge annoying upgrade banner taking up the top 1/4 of the screen unnesessary, but the app is so crippled that EVERYTHING requires an upgrade.
RIDICULOUS!  This app author is too thirsty.  Theres other UTC clocks in the store that arent harassWare disquised as a UTC clock.

### 1/5 — Widget not available on iPad

*2024-02-27, version 1.2*

See title for point of concern.

### 2/5 — No Alarm function

*2025-09-28*

I got this to set an alarm so it would stay the same no matter where I travel. But it has no alarm function. Big miss.

### 2/5 — 24 Hour

*2025-02-27, version 1.24*

24 Hour Time doesn’t show up on widget

### 2/5 — As to the “non-premium” version…

*2024-03-27, version 1.2.1*

I downloaded this app to give it a “test drive” before I dropped any cash on it, but there were too many what I consider “unlock to try” toggles. I guess it's like this– if I go to test drive a vehicle before I purchase it, I want to be able to put on the turn signals, try the radio out, flip on the heat or A/C, etc. In comparison, this just lets you drive it around the block and beep the horn. After seeing all these “try after you buy” toggles I decided to nix the app. Darn shame, too. It looked like a decent app. 🤷‍♂️ Oh well…

### 5/5 — Graphics

*2026-06-07*

While working Parks on the Air with a ham radio the graphics and colors are great , providing easy reading while talking to another ham radio enthusiast. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — Very Good stuff

*2026-05-18*

I Use This frequently for celestial navigation, a hobby related to my sailing hobby. Zulu Time Now is entirely useful and great also for a quick check of current time at my location flying . Very good app.  Love how simple it is and that it has a quick reference option for iPhone (left swipe from home view).

### 5/5 — It works without interruption

*2026-04-15*

It just works.

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2025-12-01*

This is entirely useful. Very good app

### 5/5 — Helpful

*2025-11-11*

Zulu Time Now helps me keep track of the time around the world especially when the local time changes with the seasons.

### 5/5 — sUAS Pilot

*2025-09-15, version 1.27*

Works great! Very useful for anyone working in aviation.

### 5/5 — Good stuff

*2025-07-24*

This is entirely useful. Very good app

### 5/5 — Meets my needs very well as a pilot

*2025-03-12*

I went through several apps to find one that listed GMT offset next to the city. It’s toggled on by default. The ability to left/right swipe the time to do future/past zone conversions was a nice bonus.

### 5/5 — Great app, easy to use.

*2025-03-06*

The only feature that I would add is the ability to set up an alarm based on ZULU time, very useful for pilots doing long-haul flights to help us set up when our brake finishes.

### 5/5 — Nice!!

*2025-02-04*

Love having the zulu time on my homescreen on my iPhone. I like not having to unlock the phone to see it. Outstanding!!
