World Clock 2.9.10.2

Check out the current time in any city around the Globe with a dedicated app for your phone
For those who travel a lot in various countries and change time zones on a regular basis, keeping at and a utility that can show the exact time for the cities they are going to seems like a good idea.

This kind of utilities will also come in handy when someone wants to contact a person from a different time zone, so it will tell them if it's the appropriate time to make the phone call.

One such tool that is tailored for Windows Phone users can be found under the simple name of World Clock and it comes with a nice set of customizations under the hood.

Uncomplicated and friendly GUI

The application has a decent interface that features some simple graphics, focusing more on the practical aspect. The navigation inside the long list of countries or through the clocks added in the main screen is done seamlessly, without lags or other glitches.

The live tiles you can add to the Start menu support only two sizes, namely the small and medium ones. The readability is very good in any conditions, as the app supports having the tiles shown on a transparent background or using the phone's accent color.

Each clock shows not only the current hour and day of the week, but also the difference in hours compared to the local time. Also, Daylight Saving Time info is displayed whenever necessary, while a nice icon next to each entry shows you if it is day or night in the respective locations.

Search and add locations on the go

World Clock doesn't offer any timers by default, so you can personalize the clock list in full by adding the locations you are interested in. Thus, the built-in search engine will help you quickly find the desired city and have it added to the main list.

The order in which the clock appear is set to follow the clock name, but you have 5 other sorting options you can choose, so the customizations are quite sufficient in this respect.

A very important thing you have to take into consideration is that only 5 clocks can be added without having to make a purchase.

Pin live tiles and add calling cards

This application enables you to add to the phone's Start screen all the clocks listed inside its main screen and you can choose whether to have them show the time using an analog or digital theme.

The first mode uses an indicator that lets you know in which half hour range the current time is, while the digital clock tile approximates the time with a tolerance of 15 minutes.

World Clock supports calling cards and allows you to add new ones in a special section, so you can be sure to call home at the appropriate time when you are on a business trip.
