Initially, the current times for your chosen cities are shown, with color coded icons quickly showing if now is a good time to call. If not, a drag on the "TimeScroller" button will rapidly advance the times to find a more suitable time later in the day.
Alternatively, select the cities you wish to communicate between, then tap the "Suggest Time" button for TimeScroller to automatically suggest a time. The display will also update showing just those cities, making the choice of a time even easier.
Then once you've chosen a time, a tap on a button create a reminder, a calendar event, or automatically draft an email for you including the times for the proposed call.

The key feature
Bernard Oz
Noting some of the negative comments I think many are missing the key features. The ability to scroll through time zones to pick the right time for conference calls across all cities is the key. Difficult to see when you can't download a demo so my suggestion if you have a Mac is to try the free widget which has the same features. Finding the best time for a conference call across many time zones has never been easier and this cannot be done with the built in clock application.
Most useful App I've found...

..besides the phone and iPod feature. Besides being really easy to use and super-functional, the practical aspects must be misunderstood by the guy that said 'just use a clock'... I am frequently organizing conference calls on 4 continents, in 6 time zones, some that are on the 1/2 hour, and this is an invaluable tool for that. More simply, when I get ready to call somebody in Adelaide, AUS, when I am in Copenhagen, DK, it just great to double check the hour there!
Great app!!

As someone who facilitates conference calls across three continents, this app is a life saver! I can customize the list of cities to quickly find the best time to a call. Again,it's not the same functionality as "Clock". This app allows you to set business rules to help find the best time to set up international conference calls. It suggests the times and presents the time in a logical way. I understand it appears the same as Clock, but it isn't. I wish users would use the app before rating it. If you don't use it, don't rate it. This is a critical app for those who work with people across the globe. Great job!
Great for travellers

As a frequent flyer(250,000miles last year), this is an indispensable little tool. Fantastic for arranging teleconferences with overseas people and just to know what the time is in different locations. The widget on the desktop is also great and I am never lost or unaware of the time around the cities that I travel to.
Best App to coordinate international meetings/schedules

I travel internationally for my job and use TimeScroller to coordinate meetings & schedules with other time zones. Our company uses UTC to keep everyone on-time, but traveling through multiple cities and time zones can be very confusing causing expensive mix-ups. Since I started using TimeScroller I have reduced my stress over schedules tremendously, I HIGHLY recommend this product.
LOVE THIS APP

I have been using the Time Scroller widget for months and am excited to finally have it for my iPhone. Works just like the widget so go get it too so you never miss an important event.
Nice App!

Easy and quick - great when you're trying to find a common meeting time while on the phone. Appreciate the option to scroll in 15-minute increments. The email function is very helpful. It's also nice-looking, which is very important to me. The only other feature I'd love to have is the ability to upload an appointment to Google Calendar.
