I'd give it 4 stars except the developer told another reviewer he'd improve it in a few days... 3 years ago and counting... On a phone it's pretty useless, too small to see much, better on a tablet I imagine.

Great app!!

Should support daylight savings for the places that have it, maybe have a button on the widget to toggle it. Wished it updated more frequently, maybe using UCCW to update constantly, etc.

Awesome! Like the comic, like the app! I gave this 3 stars because of the size, at 4x4 there's no room to add any icons, yet the image looks small enough that it could fit in a 4x3 area. This and the transparent background making it hard to read, prevent me from giving it 5 stars... An additional feature I would like is the ability to put it on the lock screen ...

T70%
by T####:

I'm in an international gaming community and find this app extremely helpful. At just a quick glance I can see who I should expect to be online or to who I should delegate a task.

Cool idea, but doesn't seem to work for me... its abit small to read, and shows India at ~5:30pm whereas its actually 9:20pm... 3☆☆☆ for the Idea, rest 2☆☆ I'll give if it works....

N70%
by N####:

I'm super excited to find a widget that lets me know what time it is in other parts of the world at a quick glance. As an improvement I would look at the text contrast with backgrounds. It's a little hard to see some of the text.

B70%
by B####:

Should be vector. Looks bad when the widget is resized. Also has a clear background, which should be white.

T70%
by T####:

Great implementation. After initial install the time was off for me on a Galaxy Note 3, I think treating local time as UTC. But the next morning it is correct.

by S####:

This is great! Thanks a lot for making this. But one thing, could you add support for at white or black background of the circle? It's a bit hard to tell the text and countries on my wallpaper, and I expect that is the case as well for many others. So still no update with a solid background? :-(

T70%
by T####:

As an improvement, I would like to suggest the option to have an solid background to make the text easier to read.

Would be great if it actually got the time right.

B70%
by B####:

Exactly what I wanted right after I saw it in XKCD. If I could have this on the lock screen that would be amazing!

T70%
by T####:

That's too big for such a simple app!!!

S70%
by S####:

Too small text to see anything. The transparent background doesnt help.

But it needs the ability to resize

Keeps on showing GMT, ignoring summer time time changes.
