New time, weather app from Butler Watch Co.

By General Aviation News Staff · September 11, 2015 ·

Butler Watch Co. has released a mobile application called Time Flies. The time and weather application for aviation and travel uses the Buter Watch Co. Professional Series GMT watch as its display.

The main display shows three time zones at once — device time, GMT or UTC, and a user selected time zone based on a world airport location. See the weather — normal format, METAR and TAF — by touching the weather icon.

Using ICAO, IATA, or airport name in the search feature will find selected airports. Chosen airports can also be part of a “recents” or “favorites” list. A “near me” icon on the Change Airport page finds the nearest airports.

The weather page displays current weather conditions and also shows graphical hourly and five-day forecast display. In addition, a map is provided on the weather page for quick orientation. User can move to either current location or airport location on the map via touch of an icon.

Wrist watch enthusiasts will also find Time Flies useful. Easily update a GMT wrist watch to the correct time and date, from anywhere in the world. GMT and date is always available and displayed on the main screen page.

The application is available for download now on Apple’s App Store for 99 cents. The Android version will be available soon on Google Play.

    Just installed this on my iPhone 4S and it crashes as soon as you try opening it.

      Folks, Randy is right. You must have iOS 7.0 or greater. If you have his same configuration, please do not download the app, it won’t work. We apologize for the issue and will correct it in out next Time Flies update. Sorry for the inconvenience.
