Zones - Time Zone Conversion

I had a short list of things I needed out of a time converter app 1) see multiple time zones, at least 5 as a time 2) have the ability to check hypothetical times (like you scrub the time to see different times in all the time zones listed) 3) iOS 14 widget to see this on my Home Screen Bonus: see sunrise and sunsets times, one time purchase for premium version. This app does it all and is super generous with the free version. All the issues I saw from reviews that weren’t 5 stars were asking for this feature or that, and it’s clear the developer has been listening because they’ve all made it in here as of 2021. While I don’t need the premium version, I think I may just go for it to support the great work. One thing to note do new users; check the settings for features. It’s packed with goodies.

I originally wrote: “This used to be a very useful app. But latest “upgrade” has alas disabled much functionality, and repeated demands to buy paid pro version.” The developer (Tom) replied back to me and in an exchange showed me how to restore full functionality to the app, especially number of cities I could add. I needed to go to Settings, and under “Zones Plus” restore my prior purchase. Not immediately obvious I had to do this, but once I did this, the app’s functionality was fully restored. So I have changed ranking from 1* to 5* and thank Tom for great user response.

My wife and I are planning a trip to Hawaii and have Ben struggling with the time zone conversions for things like when we need to leave vs when we will arrive. Zones has been really great at helping us solve that problem. I was able to add Hawaii and tap on it to change the time there and it shows me what time that would be here. It even shows what date it would be in case it would be a day ahead or behind. In the free version, I was able to delete the preinstalled cities and add three of my own (Hawaii, Denver, and New York). These are the time zones I deal with for travel and, in the case of NY, telling when something will be on tv. My only complaint and the only flaw I found with this product is your local time is always at the top of the list. You can sort the cities automatically by time zone or reverse time zone, but your location is always at the top. I’d rather central time be between Eastern and Mountain. Otherwise, this is a 5- ⭐️ app for our needs. I’m still going to purchase the $2.99 pro upgrade to support the developer.
