Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Over One Year

Recommend Product: NO

Don't bother. This version is even worse than its predecessors.

I want to use it to keep track of times in other cities. It has absolutely no clue! As I type, it's 0539 local (means 0139 GMT). iClock reports Auckland, New Zealand as 1339 which is correct. But Los Angeles? It says 0139 when it should say 1839. I gave up checking its accuracy right there. If it makes a mistake in a city that I already know,how many others that i don't know?

As earlier versions maddingly used to do, a request for preferences to be displayed is often ignored.

Time menu options include date options, whereas they should be included under date options.

And where the hell does one configure those city times? Completely missing from rthis version.

>Don't bother. This version is even worse than its predecessors.

it is much much better then the old iclock. it is rewritten and has a much better interface. but it is still a beta. we have it out there for people to try out but its not the final version with all features yet.

not sure what this problem is. we would like to know.

please make sure to install b12. also do you have multiple monitors? is the control panel open on another screen. we need to reproduce a bug to be able to squash it.

>Time menu options include date options, whereas they should be included under date options.

it is more options. people requested it. some turn off the date menu so having time also do date is there for them.

>And where the hell does one configure those city times? Completely missing from rthis version.

please try b12 it is much better then the old way which was totally clunky.

thanks for the feedback.
