WORLD CLOCKS See the time in any city, instantly.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Does World Time Widget have a home screen widget? Yes. There are widgets for every Apple surface: home screen, lock screen, StandBy mode, and Apple Watch. You can show up to 8 time zones on a single large widget, so everything you need is one glance away. Can I use custom labels instead of city names? Yes. You can name any clock whatever makes sense to you. “Mum in Sydney” tells you at a glance whether it’s safe to call. “Dev team in Berlin” tells you whether they’re in the office. Your clocks, your labels. Does it work on Apple Watch? Yes. There’s a dedicated Apple Watch app plus support for multiple complications, so your world clocks are always on your wrist.

World Time Widget works across iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. Your clocks sync across all your devices via iCloud. What makes it different from Apple’s Clock app? Apple’s Clock app is useful, but limited. World Time Widget adds a day/night indicator for every clock so you can see at a glance who’s awake, lets you use personal labels instead of city names, and puts your world clocks on your home screen, lock screen, StandBy, and Apple Watch with far more flexibility. Apple Clock also caps out at 4 cities in a widget. World Time Widget shows up to 8. Is there a free version? World Time Widget is free to download with a premium upgrade available for additional features.

Both are free to download. World Clock Time Zone Widget sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Market Clock sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

World Clock Time Zone Widget holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: World Clock Time Zone Widget has 31K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of World Clock Time Zone Widget's written reviews are positive against 73% of Market Clock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

World Clock Time Zone Widget ships an update fortnightly, Market Clock every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
