Description

Best World Clock app - Featured By Apple in staff favorites in US and 92 countries Optimized for iPad Retina Display!
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!

Customer Reviews

Fantastic (5 stars)
The best! I have owned them all. First time buyers of a clock app or multiple purchaser of clock apps buy this one and you won't be disappointed.

Very impressed! (5 stars)
This is the quintessential world clock app! I'm a pilot for an international airline and this app does exactly what I need. I've set it up to display all the cities that I typically travel to, and they're pretty off-the-beaten-path. Yet it's got all of them. I can display all kinds of information along with each city such as difference from GMT, time in 24-hour format and much more. Seriously... If you're a world traveller this will be money

Invaluable App (5 stars)
I travel around the world and have friends and relatives that I visit (Germany, England, Japan), so this app is invaluable to me. When I need to know what time it is, and night or day, I consult my app here before calling, iMessaging, or Skyping. I put this app on my iPad, iPhone, and husband's iPad and iPhone. I like the ability to see an Old-Time clock rather than a digital, and I like the sun/shade views.
One downside that I do not l
