User reviews

Users appreciate the extension's customizability, simple UI, and usefulness for tracking multiple time zones. However, common issues include incorrect daylight savings time handling requiring manual adjustment, inconsistencies between analog and digital clocks, and UI readability problems like small fonts and icon visibility in dark mode. Despite these drawbacks, users find the extension functional and valuable for scheduling across time zones.

Pros

Highly customizable with options like multiple clocks and 24-hour format.
Simple and intuitive user interface that's easy to use.
Useful for managing multiple time zones, especially when coordinating globally.
Provides both analog and digital clock displays.
Lightweight and functional without being bulky or overly complex.

Cons

Daylight Savings Time (DST) is not automatically handled; users must manually toggle DST, which can cause inaccurate times.
Analog clock sometimes shows only the local time, not the configured or selected time zone, causing inconsistency with the digital display.
UI issues such as small font sizes in dropdown lists and labels, making it hard to read time zone names.
The extension icon is hard to see or invisible when using browser dark themes.
Freezing or performance issues when editing clocks reported by some users.

The analogue clock shows my local time. Not the configured time (GMT)

It would be great if I could keep it always visible, or even better, if I could select when to see it by fitlering the URL (I normally need this when I'm texting or scheduling a meeting).

The analog clock continues to show my local time while the digital read out time is what I actually set the clock to. Bug needs to be fixed please.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

World Clocks does not require any sensitive permissions.

Risk impact analysis details

Low This permission has no access or impact on the user's system or data, thus carrying no risk.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

World Clocks has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
