### 5/5 — Tip top tick tock

*2025-09-22, version 3.4*

While your phones, iPads, Fitbit, laptops obediently changes the time upon landing and automatically adjusts for local daylight saving times around the world one can loose track of what really maters GMT, UTC or Zulu (referring to the zone Z in which the Greenwich meridian lies).
All navigation systems aircraft log keeping refer to UTC so Zulu Time is my certain go to when globe trotting.

### 1/5 — Useless!

*2024-06-23, version 3.4*

I bought this naively expecting that there would be a UTC watchface in the bundle which I could automatically load as soon as phone connects to aeroplane Bluetooth.  But no, so to get UTC on watchface you still have to set UTC as a second time zone. There is nothing this app does that you can’t already do with Apple inbuilt multi time zones.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2024-04-22*

I bought this because my old Zulu time app is no longer available. It was a waste of my money. The Zulu time numbers are cut off by the UTC date. Plus, it only offers your time zone, not multiple ones. 🤬

### 5/5 — Great, but the DATE needs to be bigger.

*2024-04-16*

Zulu time is confusing, particularly in time of high workload. The date is the confusing part of zulu time. Please make it BIGGER on the Apple watch. Likewise, who cares about seconds here? Were talking timezones here.

### 5/5 — Personally Recommend

*2024-04-05*

Alarm is excellent 
Good widget 
Works

### 5/5 — Ham

*2024-02-10, version 3.4*

Does what it says! Very refreshing.

### 3/5 — No install

*2023-01-22, version 3.4*

I gave 3 stars on this because I was looking for a utc clock for my Apple Watch. Although this said was an app for the Apple Watch in fact there isn’t. The only way to put this on you watch it to go into the apps on your watch and tap on it to bring it up. To me that not a watch app. After you open it, if your watch does not turn off your fine but is it does turn off the utc clock is gone. I like the app on my iPhone and you can set a widget up but that all you can do.

### 4/5 — Almost perfect

*2022-12-10, version 3.4*

Great phone widget, don’t really need the calculator, so I’m paying for features I’ll never use.

That said, I’d love for the developer to fix the Apple Watch complication. Give us time in 1234Z format without any unnecessary graphics. Having just the hour (12Z) and a large logo next to the complication reduces utility.

### 1/5 — Missed the ball totally!

*2022-11-06*

Bought for Apple Watch but can ONLY put the Zulu hour in a small complication, there’s no complication for the larger size which is where it should show the full time all the time and not making you press on the stupid thing to ACTUALLY see the time!!

Just poorly thought out!

### 5/5 — ZULU Time

*2022-08-08, version 3.2*

Quick, easy and to the point of converting the local to ZULU….well done!
