## Description

TimeScroller is a multi time zone clock and meeting planner, and allows you to very quickly find a suitable time for an overseas phone call or conference.

Alternatively, select the cities you wish to communicate between, then tap the "Suggest Time" button for TimeScroller to automatically suggest a time. The display will also update showing just those cities, making the choice of a time even easier.

Then once you've chosen a time, a tap on a button create a reminder, a calendar event, or automatically draft an email for you including the times for the proposed call.

## Review summary

TimeScroller is praised for its stable, minimal UI and reliable time-zone calculations, making global scheduling fast and visual. It shines with customizable city lists, color-coding, and a slider-based approach, and works well on Mac and iPhone with a helpful widget. The main recurring drawbacks are the lack of an iPad/universal version and the absence of calendar integration features (Google Calendar sync and a date-picker).

### Pros

- Stable, simple UI that has remained consistent over years.
- Accurate Daylight Saving Time–aware time calculations across many time zones.
- Excellent for scheduling across time zones with a quick, slider-based view and color-coding.
- Highly customizable with favorite cities and flexible display options.
- Cross‑platform utility across Mac and iPhone, plus a useful widget.

### Cons

- No dedicated iPad version or universal app; iPad optimization is requested.
- Missing calendar integration features (e.g., Google Calendar synchronization and a calendar date-picker).
