Please note that we are not liable whatsoever for any profit loss, or any other form of loss experienced by the customer from using this application. ※We don't have any time difference data in our app. We have been inquiring about time differences of each city to iOS. Therefore, “World Clock” shows you the time of iOS. As a result, depending on the version of iOS you are using, the exact time may not be displayed. If you find a time lag in our app, please confirm default "Clock" app on your iPhone. If the time in "Clock" app is the same with the time in our “World Clock”, it means that our app is running normally. ※Abbreviated name of time zone was originally researched and added.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

World Clock Time Zone Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Clock Time Zone Widget has 31K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of World Clock's written reviews are positive against 69% of World Clock Time Zone Widget's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

World Clock ships an update every 6 weeks, World Clock Time Zone Widget fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
