It
seems that the Australians have a thing for clocks, after the review
of Clock+ 3.05, I received CityTime from
Code City which is also based
in Australia. Let's take a look at what CityTime has to offer.
Similar to Clock+, CityTime allows you
to customize the local time of up to four cities with the time of the
home city on the top right hand corner as seen in the screenshot on
the right. The outstanding feature that CityTime has here is its World
Map which allows you to customize the clock to the time of the nearest
city by simply tapping onto the map, it also comes with DST indicators
to allow us to identify which cities are now in daylight savings time.
However, do note that customizing of time is only via selection of the
home cities.
Wonder
if that's why the Clock is named CityTime :)
CityTime's comprehensive list of Cities
and its ability to automatically and accurately adjust the Palm's date
and time when travelling to other cities, means that your Palm will
always be insync in terms of time no matter where you are travelling
in the World.
CityTime
also comes with a Time Calculators which proves to be useful to frequent
travellers as this will allow them to calculate their time accurately
for meetings and even flight arrival times.
As
you can see from the screenshot on the left, it is complete with time,
date, day of the week. That's about just the info you need to have everything
covered
 
Just as I was evaluating CityTime, a
Muslim friend of mine pointed out Sun Rise/Set feature will prove useful
to Muslims during their fasting month, the period when they fast from
sun rise to sun set. As the time
of sun rise and sun set is well determined by CityTime, it proves useful
for many who needs the time of sun rise and sun set.
An
other quality clock from Australia, CityTime has the ability to sync
the time and date of the Palm in sync to the change of the Home City,
this together with the DST Indicators, the Time Calculator and the
Sun Rise/Set function, makes CityTime THE World Clock for Palm Users.
