Meet Your New Best Pal In Planning Meetings Across Time Zones
March 27, 2012
One of the things I don't like about living outside the United States (aside from the fact that I'm living outside the United States and not eligible for free shipping from Apple, Amazon and eBay) is that I have to constantly deal with time zone differences when collaborating with my colleagues from across the globe. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in my incompetence in remembering how late or how ahead a certain contact abroad is. Oftentimes, such lack of proficiency on my part leads to much confusion, missed deadlines and unattended meetings. App developer TapMafia certainly commiserates with my plight, as it has recently released TimePal, an app that makes dealing with time zones particularly in an international virtual workplace setup less confusing.
Especially if you're the leader of a team made up of members residing in various cities around the world, TimePal might just be your best pal. It lets you compare all concerned time zones and create meetings right within the app's calendar. You can then email all those involved with the meeting details. Of course, TimePal can also be used for other purposes. For example, even if you just want to arrange a meeting with your childhood friend who is now a citizen of Denmark and another friend who is now working as an engineer in Singapore, TimePal can aid you in determining the best time to hold your online conference.
Designed for both iPhone and iPad, TimePal is now available in the App for $1.99.
