Klok - A quick and handy time zone converter widget for iOS

When you live across the world, finding a time to talk – whether it’s about work, the weather or the weekend – can be a logistical challenge. We wanted to find a way to take the hassle out of figuring out time zones and constantly calculating time differences.

Great app.. I would love to get this on my Mac as an app or widget...
Mark Law
@bopfger Thanks! You're not the first person to say that. Definitely food for thought ;)
Nick Zieber
I have been wanting something like this. Looks great!
Pieter Walraven
Congrats on the launch @honcheng & @mkjlw 😄 What's your vision for this product? What kind of features can we expect in the near and longer-term future?
Mark Law
@pieterpaul Thanks!! We have a lot of ideas at the moment but we’ll be careful not to add too much too quickly. The new update will have improvements and a small feature update ;)
honcheng
@pieterpaul thanks!

Love the icon design, really well done.
Mark Law
@meiwin Thanks! It was fun to design the icon.
Pieter Walraven
@mkjlw @meiwin it's one of those really nice 'when you see it' icons. Well done!
Kien Tran
Really like the app icon and the widget design, especially when the iOS World Clock doesn't have a widget (yet).
honcheng
@thkeen love the icon

This looks and works great! Definitely a keeper :) only thing I noticed weird ( maybe there's a good reason for it), Amsterdam is shortened as "ATD" instead of the usual "AMS", not to be confused with "ADT" (Atlantic daytime)!
Mark Law
@adrianleb Thanks we'll look into this.

@mkjlw @adrianleb I think what would be awesome is if users were able to input their own three-letter abbreviation. The chosen ones for Madrid (MDR) and Chicago (CCG) seem a bit strange.
Martin Kessler
Thanks. Time zones have been driving me crazy for ages. What inspired you to build this widget?
Nav Pawera
@kesslerio clients in different time zones and also a bunch of us here in the office are expats with friends/family all over the globe :-)
Scott Ng
The widget looks amazing!
Mark Law
@ngszekiat Thanks Scott. Glad you like it! :)

Great idea and design! I work on widgets too, recently posted on PH. A widget to send your most frequent messages (without the typing) http://www.producthunt.com/tech/... and a widget to dial and add phone numbers from anywhere http://www.producthunt.com/tech/...

Great Product. Are you going to make something similar for Mac OS X?
Ouriel Ohayon
love it. i must have/have tried most of the best apps to do this (including timebuddy) but this may be the most convenient to use on the go
Adam Marx
This is so super simple, but something I would have killed for years ago when I was doing journalism full-time and need to keep up with contacts around the world. Even more useful now, great design.
Ignacio Martín
Beautiful design and its just super convenient to make it available as a widget. Great job!

Perth, Australia is wrong. It is showing up as UTC+10 (AEST), same as Sydney. It is actually UTC+8 (AWST), 2 hours earlier.
Edward Woodcock
Just installed it. Exactly what I need - nice one!
Mark Law
@iamfledge Glad you like it!
Néstor Palao
Wow, pretty awesome design, congrats guys!
Mark Law
@nrpalao Thanks!!
Shalabh
Love the design. Reminds me of the TimeSroller dashboard widget. Finally I have something similar for iPhone. Thanks :-)
Mark Law
@shalabh_ Thanks! Glad you like it :)
Divraj
Great app , anyone come across any awesome web app or extension that does the job ?
Luca Carlucci
Very cool, well done. Already on my phone!
Mark Law
@gehnibo Happy you like it! :)

Cool app! Tel Aviv is "TLV", not "TAV". Tip, use the international airport codes.
Jorge Mir Alvarez
@nicolasegosum I don't think this would work because a lot of cities have more than one airport. User input seems reasonable to me
