Business Time Widget is a home screen widget that shows overlapping business hours for different time zones.

Extremely useful for people who collaborate with others who are in different parts of the world. Save yourself from calculating the time difference and missing appointments.

Business Time lets you figure out compatible hours at a glance.

- You can add as many time zones as you want, but only a top 6 will show up in the widget (for now).
- You can long click on a zone to delete it if you want.
- Add widget to your home screen. The widget is 4x3 so make sure your screen has enough space.
- The widget only updates every 1 minute (60 seconds), so your changes will show up on the next update.
