A simple iPhone, Apple Watch and iPad app to see Local and Zulu time (GMT) or multiple time zones in a single glance. Useful for pilots in getting weather briefings and filing flight plans, or Ham radio operators to do timezone conversions. No more worrying about getting the timezone offset correct or Daylight Savings Time conversions. Easily convert from different time zones, including times in the future or past.

On the iPhone:

- The Zulu Time page gives a quick view of both Zulu and Local times

- The Offset Time page allows you to see Zulu and local time either in the future or past by entering an offset via the Offset button. Tapping either Zulu or Local times will allow you to enter a time in the future or past, synchronizing both Local and Zulu times with that offset. The offset only applies to this view (except on the iPad the offset applies to everything on the page)

- The Multiple Zones page allows you to add as many time zones as you wish in a scrolling view. Clicking on any Time Zone will allow you to change it.

on iPad:

All information is combined on one screen. You have user customizable time zones on the right hand side. On the left, you have Zulu and Local time and one customizable time zone. The offset to see future or past time can be done via the Offset button or tapping any of either the Zulu, Local or Custom time buttons on the left.

On the Watch:

Complications available in all watch faces making for glanceable ZuluTime and access to the app, which gives offset able time computation.

Pros and cons of Zulu Time app for iPhone and iPad

Zulu Time app good for

Thanks for the great Update and now I can use the app on my iPad. But I miss the iPhone 5 Update. When iPhone 5 Update is coming then 5
Adding second time zone a little awkward with the listing by geo zones. But UI looks great and otherwise very easy to setup.
A great and simple way to view the current or past UTC times, as well as quickly compare multiple time zones
As an overseas pilot, I find this app extremely useful. Its got easy to read digits and all kinds of options for time zone selection - you cant go wrong getting this app.
Been a professional military & airline pilot for 38 years. This app is great! With this it I dont need to wear a dual-time watch, I can wear a dress or casual watch and instantly access Zulu Time for flight planning, destination weather forecasts, FIR estimates, whatever. I have it on my phone, my flying iPad, and my personal computer. Works good, lasts a long time, didnt cost much.
Nice to have the accurate Zulu Time with a tap on the iPhone screen. It would even be better if the actual icon displayed the time to save the extra step, particularly when you are strapped for cockpit resources. Apple can do it it with their calendar why cannot the app do the same.

Some bad moments

the app still shows correct times but widget shows zulu, other time zones & local to be the same
widget shows all time zones including Zulu Time as same after last update and seriously why is there a show less button on the widget?
App widget quit working correctly in notification area. All time zones including Zulu show the same time. iOS 10.0.2
Best time assistant you can own. All the time conversion and time-hack tool that is required. Great job guys.
Disappointed this app only converts military time to UTC. Math still required. Need app to convert regular time to UTC.
