Review summary

Users appreciate Essential World Clock for its simplicity and accurate display of worldwide times, making it easy to check times and contact friends across time zones. However, multiple users are frustrated by the app's immediate request for login and payment details, absence of a home screen widget, inability to toggle between 12/24-hour formats, and lack of functionality to set a time in one city to view others. Overall, while the app meets basic needs effectively, these limitations and intrusive prompts detract from the user experience.

Pros

Simple and easy to use with no unnecessary features
Accurately displays current time in various cities worldwide
Helps users know the best time to contact friends in different time zones
Generally liked by users for its basic functionality

Cons

Requests login and payment information immediately, which users find unnecessary
Lacks a home screen widget for quick access
No option to switch between 12-hour and 24-hour clock formats
Cannot set a specific time in one city to see corresponding times in others

2025-01-16	Lo*****	I went into the app to check the time somewhere overseas, I wasn't initially wearing my reading glasses and tapped on a highlighted bar thinking it said continue. I soon realised I'd paid for some extras, not surely what, I immediately emailed the company and requested a refund, after 3 emails to them over the last 3 days I've heard nothing. This was a genuine mistake. I do like the app, it's nice to see when's the best time to zoom my friends.
