Why we are better than the others? Read below!

––> The World Clock provides the best and most accurate time conversion options
There are two (iPhone) or three (iPad) ways to convert and compare times:
• scroll the map to convert the time within past or future 24 hours
• tap the date button in the toolbar to select specific date, time or timezone (iPad only)
• open the time Converter/Meeting Planner window by selecting the Convert tab (iPhone) or Convert button in the toolbar (iPad). This option allows to select date, time, timezone, working hours, tome zone sorting and more.
Unlike other apps on the app store, some pretending to be "Pro" World Clocks, the conversion takes into account daylight savings time changes.
––> The World Clock is accurate
• The app uses special internet time protocol to connect to atomic time server. For security reasons Apple does not allow third party apps to change the time on the device, but The World Clock shows the time with sub-second accuracy and displays the difference between the atomic clock and the time on the device and may display a warning when the time on the device is off.
• Most world clock apps rely on the time zone database provided by iOS. This database is updated by Apple infrequently and does not contain recent changes for many countries. Almost all competitive apps were showing or still show wrong time for half a dozen countries - Russia, Chile, Morocco, Belarus, Fiji, Armenia, Samoa and more.
• If needed, The World Clock updates the timezone database on launch. If you encounter wrong time for a location, send us a mail using "Send Feedback" option and we will correct the problem within 24 hours. The size of the update is very small, about 4 kilobytes.
––> The World Clock shows the most accurate and attractive day/night map
Our day/night map is calculated using very precise and efficient algorithm. You can even scroll the "darkness" with unmatched precision and performance. Enjoy the equinox twice a year! Some of the apps on the app store, e.g. World Clock Pro, show highly inaccurate day/night map, which sometimes is off by more than 2 hours for certain locations!
––> See the time at a glance
The World Clock implements has customizable clock face color change rules (main screen and time converter on the iPad, Converter tab on the iPhone). Selecting proper rule, e.g. from 9 AM till 9PM, allows to see whether it is OK to make a call at a single glance!
––> Send email invitations or add an event to the Calendar
Tap the calendar icon in the Converter/Meeting Planner window or after scrolling the map on the main screen (iPad only) and compose a mail with a neat time table for a meeting.
––> The largest database of populated places - more than 230 countries, almost 200000 populated places, plus UTC/GMT with offsets.
Note that when adding a clock, you need to select the country first, then the city.
––> The World Clock provides Alarm with time zone support
Please make sure the notifications are turned on in the Settings app (Settings -> Notifications)
––> Comprehensive information about the selected cities
This includes GMT offset, difference with your local time, dates for daylight savings time changes, coordinates, sunrise, sunset and more! You can select to display some of this information along the time on the main screen/ Clocks tab.
––> on iPad - 9 clock designs (5 analog and 4 digital), full screen mode for larger clocks: swipe the map handle up, swipe down to bring the map back!

A nice clock
Samuel-H

Well-designed and good looking. It is a nice clock.


THIS is THE BEST World Clock
Scooter in AL

I've tried numerous world clock / global clock apps. Most perform simarly and do a good job of helping you keep track of the various times around the globe. The World Clock is a SUPERB program that provides the "classic" visual display of the world map with the sun's progression. It's very easy to use and ultra functional. I have installed on both my iPad and iPhone. I WISH the developers would create a Windows version that could be downloaded via the Microsoft Store (Windows 8). GREAT APP!!!


Still waiting for update to show alarm hand
Steve Mac since 1989

It has been a few months now since I understood you would be issuing an update to fix the analog clocks' failure to show the alarm hand when an alarm is set. A great and very aesthetic app which I use almost daily but would love to have the alarm hand fixed. Steve on 7 Jan 2013


Great app with a small missing feature

Excellent must have for travel

Beautiful clocks with multiple choices. One of my favorite Apps..Excellent job !


Loaded it on my new iPhone 5
PRJAlaska

I had it on my ipodtouch. Just got an iPhone 5. It loaded very smoothly and came up already synchronized. It's surprising to me that there aren't more good world clock apps to choose from, but for some reason this is the only one I personally like. Nice design and simple. It just works.


Crashing.. When launching
awarsi

It used to work great on my iPhone 5 but recently started crashing when launching. Last time I just added 5 cities to the list in time zone.. Do I need to uninstall and install again.


Time zone for Chile is not correct
PhilM22

The time shown for Chile is off by four hours. Other than that, the app is great, but it should be fixed.


Need updated for iPhone 5 screen
Quantifier

It appears the developers have abandoned this app. Great app but not optimized for the iPhone 5.


Beautiful app!
HamAgain

I use this app for amateur radio work and have found none that is better. Among its many features, the map shows global sunlight patterns which is useful for determining potential "gray line" (i.e. along the twilight zone) contacts. This is a great program that is attractively designed and intuitive to use. Well done!
