JAC Digital App Reviews
The analog and digital versions are both really good. Use them every day. The only suggestion I would have is to make it easier to find the time zones. For example, to find the time zone for Mumbai, you have to go to "Asia" and not "Indian Ocean". Which probably makes sense. But once you get to "Asia" the cities are listed without their countries, so there is a list of about 80 cities (for all of Asia) to pick from. There appears to be only one city for India, which maybe makes sense because it only has one time zone. But the one city picked is not Mumbai or New Delhi, but Calcutta. Ok, maybe that makes sense, but it is spelled "Kolkata", which maybe makes sense. But it makes too many assumptions for what I already know. In order to make a clock for Mumbai, I need to know India is in Asia, and that Mumbai is in the same time zone as Calcutta, and that an alternate spelling for Calcutta is Kolkata. Why not just list "India" as there is only one time zone. Or why not list more cities. Or why not be able to choose country then city. Anyway, except for that, its good. Four stars, losing one star for difficulty in set-up.
No complaints. Works as advertised. Keeps all clocks updated perfectly through time zone and DST changes including Zulu time. Good job! Suggested improvements: New clock faces. More variations of existing clock faces. Abilty to change clock appearance without having to create a new clock. Would like to see some glass transparent faces with a lower profile. Ability to show GMT offset. I.e., “GMT- 8" Freeze clock positions on screen in relation to each other and on screen. Currently I have five time zones displayed. Sometimes they shift postions due to inadvertant shifting or screen resolution changes. Overall a very stable app. Does not conflict with my other programs or system. Thanks for the effort.
Why can't I change the color of the app?????

Just What I Needed!
The boss (that's me) is vacationing half-way around the planet. All I need is is a way to quickly tell what day and time it is here in Vay-cay Land and what day and time it is back at the office to avoid inadvertantly pestering my employees on the weekend or in the middle of the night. JAC for the win! BTW, I tried another world clock ap, but it consumed more engergy than Google Chrome. Yikes! I'm happy to report that JAC consumes very little energy, just like you'd expect from a simple clock ap.
Too Smart fot Me.
I couldn't make the app do what I wanted it to do. Griped at the developer, via this review. Gave it one star, too. Developer politely told me how to do what I wanted. Didn't even whine about the review. NOW that the developer has fixxed the Wetware problem (me), it is a perfectly wonderful app and does everything I could want it to do. A future iteration might be cool to have the ability to set an alarm or two on a clock (e.g., I'm in Pacific time and I have to call in to someone at 9:00 AM Central; so I just set an alarm at the destination time without having to translate. Of Course then they'd have to change the name, to JAC&A (and Alarm). Works, thoughtful features (like always-on-top mode) and responsive developer. What more could you really ask for . . .
no seconds readout
That's probably my fault for not checking but I got this to use in a radio environment where I need to say a time in a different time zone than I live in but need seconds for timing.
Jac Digital
Does what it’s supposed to. I’ve been trying to find the ultimate digital “date time, location, fonts, colors” widget at a reasonably cost. This is getting there and it works for me.
Should be free if the core fucntions don
It has a non functioning function to add in the cities you are trying to keep track of but it doesnt work so you have to go throuhg and find a city that is on the same time zone. For a product you pay for there shouldn’t be bugs on the very basic funcitons.
Good App. Does what it says it will do.
