WorldTimeBuddy Access Points: Mobile App, Widgets, Sign-In, and More

Updated

WorldTimeBuddy (WTB) is not just a browser page. The site itself lists several additional access points: a Mobile App, a World Clock Widget, an Event Widget, plus Sign In, Settings, About, Feedback, and Announcements pages. These are the entry points you can use to reach the same time-conversion and scheduling functionality from different places. The sections below cover what each one is for and how to get to it, based on what the site presents.

Mobile App

The footer and the "Features" area both link to a Mobile App. This is the entry point for using WTB on a phone rather than in a desktop browser.

  • Where to find it: the "Mobile App" link in the footer, and "Mobile App" listed under Features near the top of the page.
  • What it's for: the same core purpose as the web tool — comparing time zones and planning calls or meetings — but intended for on-the-go use, which fits the site's stated audience of people who travel, take flights, or join online meetings.
  • What the page does not state: the page evidence does not list supported operating systems, download stores, or app pricing. Treat the link as the starting point and check the destination page for those details.

World Clock Widget and Event Widget

Two widget types are named in the Features list:

Widget What it appears to do How to reach it
World Clock Widget Show world clock / time-zone information in a compact form "Widgets" / "World Clock Widget" in the Features area
Event Widget Surface an event's time across zones "Event Widget" in the Features area

Widgets are the access point to use when you want time information embedded somewhere you already look, instead of opening the full converter each time. The page evidence names them but does not describe embed code, supported platforms, or configuration steps, so follow the widget links for those specifics.

Sign-In and Settings

Sign In appears in the top area of the page with two options shown: Sign in with Facebook and Sign in with Email. The page also states: "Sign in to save settings - it's FREE!"

  • Sign in with Facebook — use your Facebook credentials.
  • Sign in with Email — use an email-based sign-in.
  • Why sign in: to save your settings. Without signing in, settings are not persisted to an account.
  • Settings — the page shows a Settings control alongside options such as Show Timezones, Mark Weekends, and Calendars. These adjust how the converter displays information.

Note on the "FREE" wording: it applies to saving settings via sign-in. The page evidence does not state pricing for any other feature, so do not assume the mobile app or widgets are free — check their own pages.

Sharing and Export Entry Points

The page exposes several ways to move a time selection out of WTB:

  • Outlook / iCal — export the selection to calendar formats.
  • Google Calendar — add the selection to Google Calendar.
  • Clipboard — copy the selection.
  • Gmail — send the selection through Gmail.
  • Link to this selection — generate a shareable link to the current view.
  • Event — create an event from the selection.

These appear near the calendar strip, so they act on whatever time range you have selected. If you need the step-by-step flow for any of these, the "How to Share or Export a Time Selection" guide covers it.

About, Feedback, and Announcements

The footer provides three informational entry points:

  • About — background on the tool.
  • Feedback — a channel to send comments.
  • Announcements — updates about the service.

Use these when you want context about the product, want to report something, or want to know what has changed. The footer also carries Privacy and Terms of Service links, and identifies the operator as © 2011-26 Helloka, LLC.

Practical Notes Before You Pick an Entry Point

  • JavaScript is required. The page states: "Please enable JAVASCRIPT for this page to work properly." If the converter or widgets appear blank, check this first.
  • Sign-in vs. no sign-in. You can convert times and view the world clock without an account; signing in is what lets settings be saved.
  • Widgets vs. full site. Choose widgets when you want ambient time display; choose the main converter when you need to compare many zones, schedule, and share.

If your goal is simply to convert a time or set up a meeting, the main converter is the fastest route. If your goal is to keep time zones visible without opening a tab, the widgets are the relevant access point. If your goal is to use WTB on a phone, start from the Mobile App link and confirm platform and pricing details there.
