I love the app - I have many workers and clients in different time zones, so this helps a lot. I also love the way I can custom set the format of the time, date, time zone, etc. in the menu bar. Really amazing though: I had a problem and emailed the developer. Within 11 minutes, the developer responded with a solution! Keep up the great work Fabrice Leyne!
Could use some improvements to facilitate planning meetings
This app doesn’t allow you to change the names of cities (i.e., if one of your attendees is from Bellingham, WA, you have to keep the city name at Seattle. The app doesn’t allow you to change the name from Seattle to Bellingham even though the two cities are in the same time zone.) This app also doesn’t allow you to easily ask and answer the question, "If I want to schedule a meeting next Wednesday, at 11AM, what time will it be for my attendees in Kemah, Texas and St. Louis, Missouri? I want to know if it will cut into their lunch time or or commited times that they have locked in. You have to wrestle with it.
This would be ideal, if the program didn’t pop up asking for reviews. I have every possible notification setting disabled, and, still, I get requests for reviews? Absolutely not okay. It’s a testament to how much I like the app otherwise that it retains 3 stars. Normally, I’d delete the app and give a 1 star review for this intrusive garbage. If there’s another review request now that I’ve made one, I WILL give 1 star. Leave us alone, please, or give us a way to shut this off. Otherwise, thank you for the excellent app. Once they get enough reviews from us cannon fodder, hopefully they’ll remove the review demand and be an all-around worthy app.
I am a digital nomad and I couldn’t live without this
Excellent little program that allows me to schedule accurately and know when to call and whn not to. Makes it so much easier than actually trying to sit there and figure it out manually on the fly. I have had zero negative issues with it. Highly recommend.
It's a great app and very useful when working with a remote team across the globe. I've been running the app for several months now and just recently I've noticed it has some memory leaks. Under normal usage where you periodically restart the system the leak isn't really noticable. After 70 consecutive days of uptime and the app running the entire time it's managed to consume upwards of 4.5 GB.
This would be much more helpful if there were some UI interface that you could leave open on your desktop as well as having the option to have the time on the top menu bar be customized to a particular timezone (maybe the first time zone/city on your list?). Would get 5 stars from me if these features were available.
I work with people in different time zones around the world and i also travel...so figuring out what time we can all me can be very challenging...this app has made it very easy to figure when we can meet...it's changed my life and made global remote work efficient.
I wanted a world clock to show the time simultaneously in multiple, selected cities and be out of the way when not needed. “Hour" is exactly that and has worked great for my (limited, basic) needs. It looks nice, integrates well in the environment, and I am aware of it when I need it without it ever being obtrusive.
When I need to determine what time it is elsewhere in the world, a single click on this little app's icon is all I need. I found it to be simple to configure, great at doing its primary task, unobtrusive when I need it to be out of the way, and stable.
I previously wrote a glowing review of this app…. until DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME showed up. This app does NOT compensate for DST in the USA. I am a world traveler, and I was using this app to keep track of worldwide appointments. When daylight savings time happened and the app did NOT update to compensate, I was grossly embarrassed by missing an appointment in my otherwise previously flawless record of keeping appointments. Until the developers add a DST feature inside the app, I absolutely do NOT recommend this at all for anyone who needs a reliable worldclock to Keep Appointments.
I read the earlier reviews and then noticed that the developers had incorporated user feedback. That was enough for me to give this app a try over the many other options available. The app is clean, simple, easy to set up and does what it's supposed to. I think it's great.
I downloaded this a few minutes ago, simple interface, good feature set. Love the slider so I can slide over to a future time and see all cities change with me. If this opens on start and is reliable, then it was definitely worth the $3 for the upgraded version.
Exactly what I needed! Only two greviences would be I wish I could remove the top menu bar time (already have the system one). And I do wish I could select via timezone and not city, but that's just a small one. Cheers for a free, fantastic app!!
This is such a great app. I can't believe it's free. It does everything I need. I've got the major US time zone so that I can make phone calls across the country without wondering what time it is.
I work across multiple timezones and this is my go to tool to double check time differences. I just wish there was a way, besides the slider (which can be clunky and too mouse dependent), to jump between times. It would be great to pick a city or time zone and key in the day and time and have the rest of the zones adjust accordingly.
Excellent app. Very simple and lightweight. Would have given 5 stars but there isn't an option to display the seconds in the menu bar. Until they add this I can't fully replace the default system clock/time with this app, so I have to run both :-(
The world clocks with the background of the continents makes it REALLY hard to read what time it is. I don't understand why there isn't an option to have digital clock read-outs, or at least get rid of the continents in the background so you can really see the hands of the clocks. Thanks.
I really like the app. I would have gave it 5 stars The only thing I do not like is, that it does not show you what day of the week it is in other countries & it is confusing when it says tomorrow instead of saying yesterday Monday, today Tuesday & tomorrow Wedsenday
why can't you change which time is displayed in the menu bar?
It always displays the system time, but I already have the system clock for that. I would always like to display another time zone or at least be able to pick which time zone is displayed in the menu bar.
I wish there are more updates... The scrolling from left to right to change time using touchpad is a overwhelming. Its too fast. I think it should be slowed down (less sensitive). Five stars if this is fixed.
Clean, simple interface. Not the overkill so many world clocks have. Excellent app. One click when I need it, out of the way when I don’t. Adding a zone takes seconds. Rearrange with drag and drop. Nice. Does exactly what I need for tracking who is awake when I am :) Paid the $2.99 to unlock some neat little extra features, but the free works great without the bells and whistles. I like bells and whistles. Well done.
Why is it so difficult for developers to create apps that just do what they’re supposed to do and then stop there? I would have rated it 5 stars for doing its job, but had to remove a couple because of the annoying popup each tie it updates itself.
Nicely housed in the menu bar and always one click away. I like it. Only downside: you have to upgrade to access all of the settings. For me, that means I’ll just have to put up with the analog clocks.
Fantastic app. As a North American who lives and works overseas, constantly booking conference calls with people in multiple timezones from GMT to Pacific to Hong Kong and beyond, this is one of my most used tools on my Macbook. Love it.
2023, still one of the very best things in the app store
There are so many bad apps out there. 1) this is perfectly made 2) the interface is perfect, simple, and does “everything you need” with NO fuss 3) the app is continually updated. Absolutely first-class product - basically perfect. the developed is well-known as a leading expert - it's a great app.
The Hour Widget no longer work in MacOS 13 - The widgets remain but appear blank (with no time or complications visisble). Please Fix! Paying Cusotmer Here!
Honestly just downloaded it but read a review where it’ll keep bugging you if you don’t write a review so here’s my review I hope it works. **UPDATE: It didn’t stop bugging me to rate the app. Was at 4 stars, demoted to 1 star. QUIT ASKING ME TO RATE!
