Meeting Planner by timeanddate 4+

Unsure what this app wants to be

Firstly, there’s a lot of wasted space in this app which limits the number of visible time zones.
There’s a meeting page which doesn’t seem to have a function other than to prevent the app from opening on the page you really need, so before getting to the planning you have to click a city - which has no effect on the content of the planing page.
Also no landscape mode which would make more of the day visible. The meeting time can only be adjusted by moving both the start and the finish sliders - so painful to edit the time of a meeting.
Looks well done - isn’t.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your input. The app's workflow needs you to choose locations before you can plan a meeting to be able to adjust the time differences displayed in the time slot selection page.
Unfortunately, landscape mode is not something that the app can easily support, and very few users have requested this feature, so it isn't something we have prioritized.
You can double-click timeline to move the time-slot selector and keep the time interval it represents.

Cannot use it in dark mode

App works well, however currently if you use dark mode on your phone. The app is not usable, fonts are not visible when trying to add locations ect. Disappointing as it’s a great app otherwise.

Please add GMT

quite disappointing. Usability is not very good. And how do you add GMT?

YOUR reply: “you don’t add time zones you add cities - London is a safe bet if you want GMT”

You answer is rubbish. London is not the same as GMT. We use global broadcasting services so we also need to know GMT (also called UTC). You have it on your time zone calculator on the website, so why not on the app? Come on guys, I thought you were experts in time zones...? Please add GMT, and give your paid users a better service please.

Thank you for your input, but remember this is not a support forum. As mentioned, the app is not designed to use time zones directly - you add cities, but you can also add the time standard and the UTC offsets (UTC, UTC+1, UTC+2, etc.) directly should that be more suitable. People live in/near cities. Cities "switch" from time zone to time zone depending on country DST settings, but UTC does not. The app handles this automatically. We have chosen not to add time zones directly since it confuses most users.
