Pros and cons of World Clock app for iPhone and iPad

World Clock app good for

Travelling far from home I like the World Clock a lot- the earth on display gives you a good overview and "feeling" for the timeshift and it just looks awesome! - the date is displayed corresponding to the date line now (update on previous comment!) App works fine and I use it instead of the "on board" World Clock. Still there are some small things that would make this app even better, from my point of view: - I would like a feature to prevent the phone from auto-locking and even from low power mode when World Clock is running (maybe just when connected to power source?) - choise of clock types displayed (digital 24 hour clock as an option) would be nice - more cities to choose from OR maybe even better renameable clocks Cheers Chris
This could have been the most important and great application if the background colour is brighter so users will see the different between day and night on the world map. As it is write now it’s too hard to tell which part of the world is day or night. Please change it to brighter map than the currently have a dark map. Thanks
Boy, Ive been waiting for this sort of app! A similar one came out recently (spinning globe), but has some aesthetic issues. This one is quite useable. A couple of suggestions: It would be nice to add UTC/GMT to the clock choice, and the ability to delete some clocks would be great (we all dont need 6 time zones). Probably tougher to code, but for a future release it would be nice to be able to zoom in / out on regions of interest.
Its a great start but could be improved - especially portrait mode. The ability to remove some/all of the clocks, change the clocks to digital would be a welcome addition. I also noticed that the analog clock did not change to "nighttime" until about an hour and a half after sunset - not sure if it just changes over at 6p, however. Very nice graphics, glad I purchased!
This is just what I was looking for.. but the Landscape view needs to be able to be a full screen. OR have it switch to digital to make room for a larger map Other than that its great...5 Stars for version 1.0
Good first effort which is limited by the tiny screen, even in landscape mode. Older eyes (mine) have difficulty seeing the small map. I hope the software continues to evolve. A world map that the user could size would be fantastic to have!

Some bad moments

Doesnt meet my need. Cannot expand map so details can be discerned. Can not add additional clocks. Etc.
The application is good but the research on the time zones is very poor, Just to mention one el paso, tx is not accurate. I hope tolhus is fix soon
NOT able to locate Greewich mean time. I had to select Dakar for the right setting. Greenwich village is the date line were all clock times start from. Also known as GMT or Zulu time. I dont why a World Clock would not have these in thier search.
Has potential but has not been updated in a over a year. Guess it was a one shot app
Pathetic graphics, no instructions. 2x version pixilated, 1x is too small to see. Please update and improve. See older version of DOS Geoclock for needed features.
When you take the clock to full screen (the only way I could see using it, the resolution is so bad the pixels hit you like the coarsest sandpaper. And would it really be so hard to allow the user to select one or two cities to display on the map? If this was a new app, Id possibly rate it higher, but its five years old, for Cupertinos sake.
