WorldTime
Read full descriptionHide full description
A timezone scrubber app that lets you visualise time across cities with an interactive dial. Most timezone apps use static displays or linear sliders. But time is cyclical โ so WorldTime uses a dial interaction that mirrors how we actually think about time. Rotating the dial scrubs through hours, and concepts like "yesterday" and "tomorrow" become intuitive as you cross midnight.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WorldTime at none against Meridian's 2. Meridian's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
