Other improvements:

v 1.14True sunrise/sunset, GPS local time, import from iCloud, and more!
• True Sunrise & Sunset: Daylight hours are now calculated using each city’s real location. If you prefer the old 6 AM to 6 PM schedule, there is an option in Settings.
• Use Current Location (GPS): Use your device’s location to determine the current time by enabling “Use Current Location” in Settings. This is great if you’re traveling through multiple time zones but don’t want to change your device’s clock.
• Import from iCloud: Import your data from another device.
• New Subtitle options in app and widgets: Country, Offset from GMT, and Sunrise / Sunset.
This update also introduces "World Clock Pro", which is a one-time purchase to remove ads and unlock some of the new features mentioned above. Purchasing World Clock Pro also helps support my work as an indie developer, so I hope you'll consider it. Thank you!
