In the widget, the Zulu time will always have the same date as the local time even if the zulu time is a day ahead. ### 3/5 — RTO in US Army *2025-02-06, version 3.6.2* This helps a homie out a lot. Thx. ### 3/5 — iPhone widget *2025-01-09, version 3.6.2* On the widget, the date does not roll over with ZuluTime midnight when you open the app. The date is correct. ### 5/5 — Excellent APP, uninstall and reinstall new version! *2024-02-01, version 3.5.3* I love this App, but must say that the complication on the watch was not updating. I read the developer’s response to a user comment about the same. I decided to uninstall the app on my iPhone which uninstalled it form the watch, and then subsequently reinstalled. This fixed the problem. The complication now always show the current Zulu time without having to tap it. Hope this helps someone! ### 5/5 — The Perfect Thing for focus in aviation and weather observer studies, easy simple app. *2024-01-27, version 3.5.3* Two thumbs up ### 5/5 — Useful clock for radio operators *2024-01-26, version 3.5.3* I am an amateur radio operator and this clock is handy to have in my station. ### 5/5 — Widget *2023-12-26, version 3.5.3* I love the app when flying but would love a widget to put on the title screen in order to make position reports and quick references when planning! ### 4/5 — Good for aviation *2023-10-04, version 3.5.3* Very useful for aviators. Sometimes the conversion to/from local along with 24 hour time can get confusing with everything else going on. While not fond of the new Apple Watch widgets in general this app would be a good use since all relevant info could be displayed in the widget without accessing the app. ### 5/5 — Helps pilots *2023-07-26, version 3.5.3* As a trainee student pilot myself I always struggle with reading a clock like the normal ones I’m young guys, but this one takes the work for you and gives it to you effortless. Worth every 99 pennies ### 4/5 — iWatch Complication Still Shows Hours Only *2023-07-13, version 3.5.3* An older review noted that the iWatch complication show only 22Z (for example) instead of full hours and minutes (like 2215Z, for example). The developer response indicated that this was fixed, which is why I purchased the app. I may be doing something wrong, but I can not get the iWatch complication to show more than just hours in Zulu time. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2023-01-23, version 3.5.3* I love this app it comes in very handy all the time ### 5/5 — Great program *2022-12-13, version 3.5.3* Enjoy using this program. ### 5/5 — Difficult to set with Daylight Saving Time *2022-12-01, version 3.5.3* Downloaded it, tried to set the offset, put in the -4 hours I needed and app kept defaulting to -5 hours. Probably an excellent app when DST is not in place. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Get the OTHER blue zulu app *2025-02-04, version 3.6.2* This one does not have the date on the watch app. High workload times you need the date as well as time! ### 1/5 — Does not show the full HHMM time on complication *2023-11-21, version 3.5.3* PLEASE display the full HHMM zulu time on the complication WITHOUT having to tap!! Ughhhh. So useless only showing the hour! Show the minutes!!! ### 1/5 — Wrong time on watch *2021-09-20, version 3.5* It consistently is hours behind on the Apple Watch until I tap on it, I cannot rely on it and will be uninstalling it. Just purchased yesterday. ### 1/5 — Does not come with watch face *2021-06-22, version 3.5* I bought this app specifically for the watch face pictured. And it’s nowhere to be found. ### 1/5 — No minutes on watch! *2020-05-28, version 3.4.4* What a waste! ### 2/5 — Watch complication doesn’t update randomly *2023-11-19, version 3.5.3* Same issue as a few years ago. The watch complication isn’t updating randomly(?). Have to tap into it to get it to update. iPhone 15 Pro Max with iOS 17.1.1 & Series 8 Watch with watchOS 10.1.1. ### 2/5 — Disappointed - Beware *2023-09-14, version 3.5.3* In my Apple7 I applied this app only to discover it does not readily display the actual ZULU time in the display of my watch. What it shows is “21Z Zulu time”. Well, that’s not really helpful for me at all. I have to push the stem in to change the display to the actual ZULU time, in hours and minutes with seconds. Not a time or “hand use saver” nor “attention saver”. It takes more than simply gazing at the watchface and scanning it in one eye movement to gain the needed information. Granted, I’m not a pilot. But, as a licensed shortwave operator, There are times multiple calls are incoming as fast or faster than I can document them . I just want the real time. ### 2/5 — Can’t get all three screens to show *2023-04-23, version 3.5.3* I bought this app for my Apple Watch and can’t get the complication to show. Why doesn’t the app let me set the complication as my watch face? ### 2/5 — Local time not displaying correctly on widget *2021-06-06, version 3.5* Local time is not displaying properly on the widget. Inside the app show the correct time, the widget show 2 hours earlier. Worked fine before iOS upgrade to 16.4. support website doesn’t seem to work. ### 2/5 — Complication freezes *2020-06-19, version 3.4.4* Complication works for roughly a day after a reboot, then freezes. Selecting the complication shows the correct Zulu time, but when you return to the watch face, the complication is still frozen. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Simple, easy, super useful *2026-07-25, version 3.7.0* I love this app. Easy to use, intuitive, does everything I need it to and a few things I didn’t know I wanted until I saw it did it. ### 5/5 — Zulu *2026-05-29, version 3.7.0* A lot of international companies and our own government reference UTC, nice to have local times and UTC on one page ### 5/5 — very useful *2026-01-22, version 3.7.0* i can’t give it 5 stars because of a glitch- mountain time is displayed as the same as pacific time. this would only be accurate in arizona which doesn’t keep dst. otherwise a great app. update: glitch corrected. can't imagine a better app!! ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2025-12-20, version 3.7.0* Perfect app for Ham radio. Love this app. ### 5/5 — Set my watch *2025-07-06, version 3.6.2* No nagging great to check my watch others want me to sign a contract just t get the exact time. Watch exact time freak just want the time to the second to see the accuracy I’m getting. And I get that plus where ever I am no haggling or paying a hundred or more dollars a year. I’m still 2 seconds or so after 5 days Im liking this watch and this app. A pleasure to open and use it gives me a real positive feeling. ### 5/5 — Zulu time *2025-07-02, version 3.6.2* Very handy. I use it often. ### 5/5 — Know your Earth Times *2025-04-26, version 3.6.2* Time zones across the world, whether for friends, relatives, or just curiosity- even for your safety if you suspect a rogue IP address (i.e who would contact me this (their) hour? 🤔 ### 5/5 — One request.. *2025-02-23, version 3.6.2* I gave 5 stars because the app is clean, functional, and simple to use. I can do Zulu —> UTC conversions by playing around with the Offset feature in the app, but I really think it needs an actual calculator/conversion feature. Squeeze it in at the bottom between the Zulu Time and Offset Time buttons. This would make the app perfect. Thanks! ### 5/5 — EASY TO USE *2024-12-07, version 3.6* Excellent product and helps me keep track of times in different parts of the world ### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed *2024-03-14, version 3.5.3* Perfect app for Ham radio. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
