Ratings and Reviews
You have to set up your clocks manually :(
Wow, I didn't realize this app needs to be setup manually, it doesn't automatically look up a city's timezone. You have to set the difference with UTC time yourself which requires some Googling to figure that out. It also doesn't seem to support dailight saving's time which is a serious bummer (again you have to set this manually). Finally the military time (24h) is being treated wrong resulting in times being displayed as: 24h45. Pretty expensive app for limited functionality.
Some other remarks:
1. Please make the icon more subtle, even when it's grayscale it takes up too much space and clutters up the menu bar. No icon at all would be even better.
2. Please make the font size variable. The current font size is the same as the default clock, I would like it to be smaller.
3. Hide/remove the app from the dock. Forsee minimize buttons for the settings window.
A little ridiculous
This app (last version) doesn't hide itself - it stays launched in your app bar on the bottom of the screen and you have to manually hide it to get the setup screen off your desktop while it's running. The clocks are not formatted well - you have to manually space the time and add interim characters. The company's orange logo sits next to them. The final straw is the clocks don't even set themselves - so if you want a new city, look up the time and manually input the offset. This is completely ridiculous. Skip this..there are better apps at this
Works, but waist space in your dock to use it
This would meet my needs anyways perfectly if it had a preferance to run but not be visible in the dock. I wanted a tool that add time for other locations to my main task bar which it does, but it definitely doesnt need to be in the dock. Once its in the main bar you would never hardly need to touch again. Also, I did try dock dodger which just broke the install, so don't bother with this at least on 10.8
