Description
Discover when and where people observe Daylight Saving Time and Summer Time, and when you should switch your clocks.
Twirl the globe, zoom in with a pinch, and tap on a country. Or type in a country name. You’ll learn whether or not that country observes Daylight Saving Time, and if so, what date and time it will start or end during any given year.
Share the dates! You can remind others to spring ahead or fall back thanks to the app’s full integration with email, Facebook, and Twitter.
On the iPhone, you can also set calendar alerts for a given country, choosing from among the next time change only, the changes this year, or the next decade of time changes, and send text messages.
In addition to must-have information about places, dates, and times, this interactive eBook explores the rationale behind Daylight Saving Time, its history, and its unintended consequences. Does having more daylight in the evening really save energy? How can Daylight Saving Time switch the birth order of twins? How did Daylight Saving Time thwart would-be terrorist bombers?
What's New in Version 1.06
Fixed crash on iOS5 and on newest iPhone and iPod Touch. Updated Egypt, Morocco, Cuba, and some other countries.
Customer Reviews
Clunky, poorly executed app
This app looks good, but the functionality is poor. It takes several attempts to get the first screen to change from the start of dst to the end, the add to calendar function doesn't seem to work at all ( it locks up the app with a pop-up that only an exit will clear) and some of the information is just wrong (e.g. Clicking on Australia in their map function tells you Australia doesn't use dst when in fact several Australian states do!). Waste of money and space.
Does not work as stated.
Can not share to facebook, as stated. As I do not use Twitter,I have no use for this app. Waste of money. I wish developers would de bug on all devices before offering to public as a working App.
boo!
doesn't place DST/EST on the correct day of week using the decade selction.
