News Clocks is a unique and powerful travel clock that you can rely on. Its more than just another world clock widget. As one reviewer said, "This has evolved into a great app. Well worth the price. The customization is amazing."
Heres a brief overview of special aspects of News Clocks you wont find elsewhere:
Add, delete, and rearrange your clocks with ease. No internet connection is required to search for cities. Use the built-in help feature to learn more.
Analog clock styles include modern, gold luxury, aviation, simple, and Chinese numerals. Digital style also included.
With Nightstand Mode, let the app run while you sleep. Enjoy four brightness settings and an integrated alarm. The auto lock feature keeps the screen turned on if your device is plugged in to power.
New, customizable double line labels now show even more city information! Show the time, date, 24 hour ("military") time, day of week, or even relative dates like "Today" and "Tomorrow".
The date calculator computes zone changes, date addition and subtraction, can plan and project meeting times for locations around the world, and even distances between cities.
Lunar phase (on the polar mapped globe view) is shown in real time.

This is a great app, I use it to manage time with tennis locations.
All over the world, following Tennis grand slam championship. Wish I could use it as an alarm clock.
Great App! With just a tap... I know the time anywhere in the world! Very timely!
This is exactly what I always wanted. I like how the extra cities are organized. If there is a whole region you dont need, you can turn it off. Also, it can chime like a grandfather clock every hour if you want! Perfect!
Some bad moments
Average clock app, lies that "out of app chimes" cannot be used and asks for more money. Theres no way it couldnt be included.
This, in my humble opinion, is only okay. I was hoping for more cities at once or more options at once or more something. I never did understand the box with options to choose "more cities" for certain parts of the world. If changing the settings there did anything, Im not aware of what.
Since writing the above, Ive installed Worldwide Clock HD, which Ive found to be far superior to News Clocks. Other reviews consisting of vaguely-worded advertising hype notwithstanding, News Clocks is attractive, but a minimal program. Ive changed my rating from 2 stars to 1.
The 5 star hype seems to be self-advertizing.
The way you select cities is stupid: you tap on a clock ad it changes to a random city. And there seems no way to get the old selection back.
Just search the App Store for World Clock and you will find much better options!
Wanted to be able to display clocks in multiple cities that I choose, this is not the application for this purpose. A waste of .99
No options (other than to pick cities.) No option to reduce number of clocks. No option to change background - just very boring grey. No option to change clock style/appearance.
unless an upgrade includes daylight saving changes the app is not worth much
