Clocks App Reviews

I do technical support for a global company, and this app is great for finding out quickly what time it is in the customers location. The slider option that allows you to see future time is also a huge plus.

Ive been looking for a tool - any tool, be it web app, Mac app, or iOS app - that made it easy for me to check international times. This works the way I think, and it looks great on my retina MacBook pro. Highly recommended.

First, let me say that I find this app extremely useful. It is also beautifully presented and I particularly like the time "slider", which moves all the clocks forward or backwards by up to 12 hours. The problem arises when the slider moves any of the clocks into what would be the day after tomorrow or the day before yesterday. When this occurs, the relative day for that clock incorrectly reverts to "Today". One way to solve this problem might be to display the day of the week, instead of the relative day, below the digital time for each clock.

This is great for keeping track of multiple time zones -- I communicate with people all over the globe every day, and Ive been looking for such a utility. Extremely clever tool for "time shifting" as well. Thanks!

This is exactly what I need, as I freelance with international clients and need to know when to reach clients and set meetings. However, keeping it open is agonizing - the second hands are distracting, and it gets worse with each clock face added. Id give this a 5-star rating if there were a way to turn off the second hands on the clock faces!

Broken since 10.8 there is finally a fix for the clock freeze. It IS a great menubar app. I had really missed the functionality during it’s “broken” phase. Glad to have it back in my menubar.

I missed the app alot and am glad to see it up and running again. I use it all the time to coordinate meetings etc. across time zones. Thanks again.

Overall, beautiful, focused and great app. I love the slider functionality, I need it once a day (my clients are in 4 different timezones). I’ve been using “Timescroller” for the OS X Dashboard for about a year now. It’s not great, but does the trick. It dawned on me to finally look for a better solution, maybe I could hack my system so that a similar world clock would replace my mac’s default one. “Clocks” popped up first, and I bought it immediately. Works like a charm, does what it says on the tin. Only caveat, which stole one star from my review: you CANNOT keep this clock right next to the Spotlight icon, unless you install a third-party app like Bartender. I do, and it works just fine, but if you’ve got the expectation it will do that out of the box, you’ll be disappointed. That should be pointed out in the description, by the way.

This is a nice and simple Mac app if you’re looking for something like iOS7’s Clocks app. Plus, this one lets you move a slider to compare time zones across the world. I wish it had the GMT notation as a preference. I’d like to see that. But it’s a nice app for the money.

It’s a great app and does as advertised. Working for an internet company we often have to schedule meetings with other team members from many different locations across the globe. This takes the headache out of who is awake or if the sun is up in what part of the world. If I had one complaint it’s that you have to choose your own Timezone in order to take full advantage of the time scrubber. Local time could just as easily be displayed in the header where the “clocks” text is written so you don’t have to scroll back and forth from your own timezone if you have a long list of locations to determine a time.

Easy to use, clean, friendly, i liked, thx guys

It’s a very nicely designed and simple world clock app. I like the easy configuration of timezones you want to see and being able to see all of them at once. The slider helps for trying to arrange a convenient time across several timezones.

Used it for years with no problems but since updated to Mavericks, it has stopped working. Developer doesnt reply to emails either so Id caution anyone from downloading anything

It’s a great app but has suddenly started crashing and won’t run—please fix as otherwise this is one of the best clock apps out there!

Hello, I tried to reinstall this app but it’s crashing on Maverics OSX and the menu bar timer disappears. Please fix it and ask your QA guy to contact me if you need extra resources ;) LOL ! Cheers! A previously happy customer.

This ap works great for me and I’m on Mavericks. I go back and forth between 4 different time zones regularly. It’s very helpful for scheduling meetings with coworkers and clients across time zones.

I travel a lot and work with peope around the world. This is a great little app that does exactly what I need it to do. Well worth the $2.99 for me.

Granted Yosemite is still in Beta, but since installing Beta4, I cna no longer see the Clocks App. It is there and if I highlight it, I can see it, but it no longer appears in the top menu bar if you choose the Dark Menu Bar option. Any plans to update? (last update was almost a year ago. If you can get it working with the Dark Menu bar, I’ll increase to 5 stars!

Simply a very good app. Clean classic design, extremely quick and handy to see the time in many zones, right up in your bar up there. And the “slider” feature is excellent — used to scan through other times of day to determine what the time would be in various time zones if you were thinking about “hmm, how about 9am… no, how about 10am… OK, that is a decent time for all of the time zones…” Here is my only request: WHEN you have been using the slider feature to see the time in all zones at some hypothetical time… and you then let go — the clock LOCKS onto that hypothetical time, and then the next time you go to the Clocks dropdown, it still shows that hypothetical time — which can be confusing!! "OHH, that’s not the time right now, it’s from when I was checking around…” So, easy way to fix that — WHEN it is showing locked-into-that-chosen-hypothetical-time mode, simply make the bottom “time shifted” readout that is sitting on top of the slider… (which shows, for example, “-3:30” … show on a BRIGHT BRIGHT YELLOW HIGHLIGHT background. That way the person will see “ oh, it’s locked into the slider thing” and naturally reach down to close the slider feature and bring it back to normal mode.” Other than that — awesome app.

Nice app, but it sure would be nice if it were updated to support the new Yosemite dark menubar theme.
