CNET Editors' review
Our connected world means you might need to know what time it is in dozens of different places. If you don't feel like doing the math in your head, try Anuko World Clock. It lets you tack as many clocks as you want onto your desktop's taskbar.
The program makes you pay $29.95 to use it after a 30-day trial period. Even though this program offers many features, that's a little on the expensive side for a license that supports only two computers. The installation of Anuko World Clock goes quite smoothly, the interface is user-friendly, and there are many languages to choose from. The program doesn't limit the number of separate clocks you can have either. However, don't go overboard with a clock for every possible time zone; after adding just one or two clocks to your existing clock, the right side of your taskbar looks really crowded. By default this app installs two clocks in your taskbar, one with London time and one displaying your current time. There is also a wall clock widget that this app adds, but you can get rid of this widget by checking off Me in the program's menu. To make up for cramping your style, this program can add scheduling and other advanced time-tracking features to your computer. It's easy to change the program's look and feel, too.
With plenty features to offer, Anuko World Clock could be a helpful add-on for a business that does work overseas or an individual who wants to stay in touch with friends and relatives worldwide.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of Anuko World Clock 5.6.2.3590.
Publisher's Description
From Anuko:
Anuko World Clock replaces the regular Windows system clock with several time zones of your choosing. Multiple time zone clocks can be placed either in the system tray or on desktop. It makes the Windows taskbar nicer by not only fully supporting Winamp digital skins, but also by providing a set of analog skins for vertical and wide taskbars. It comes with a graphical World Map and a free City Database for easy configuration of clocks. It's also an atomic-time synchronize and an alarm clock and you can set alarms for any time zone.
This program may be used as a scheduler to launch applications or do custom actions. The scheduler supports one-time and recurring (for instance, daily or weekly) actions. The program comes with a calendar and a time converter for easy time calculations across multiple time zones. Anuko world clock is available in 18 languages.
What's new in this version: Version 5.7.3636 has some code refactoring and maintenance.

"Meh... didn't work"

"Not Really Needed"
Version: Anuko World Clock 5.5.1.3135
Pros
Lots of information (see cons)
Nice look
Nice FeelCons
Information v cost not good
Not exactly something new
Not exactly needed these daysSummary
While the ability to use atomic sync, my watch on my wrist can do more then this program and that's to my advantage. I supposed those that reply on their computer for time keeping might find that differently. I have never used my watch as an alarm clock why would i use my computer. I don't want a clunky ole thing beside my bed. Get an alarm clock its just as cheap or cheaper and you don't really worry about atomic time nor world time zones not when it wakes you up for work at 4am. For fun and to show off this program is ok, for anything else not so much. If you want your clock on your computer set by atomic clock sync get the program called atomic clock sync, has never failed and its free.

"Outstanding. Been using it for years"
Version: Anuko World Clock 5.4.2
Pros
Easy, quick set up.
Easy to add, delete, change clocks.
Useful options.
Never had any compatability problems.Cons
A little pricey these days
Anuko could be more customer focused, they do like the money thing I have not noticed much advance in development, mostly adding locations, which is great, but time to come into the Win 7 world and move the product along.Summary
I have been using World Clock since it was introduced by the original developer. The first version cost me $5. Only recently had to upgrade for another $15. Well worth the per year cost. It has always been a reliable, consistant, friendly companion.

Cons
None as far as I'm concerned.

"Excellent product for multiple time zone tracking"
Version: Anuko World Clock 5.4.2
Pros
Great features like, vast database of cities for displaying time zones, multiple customizable clocks, and option to save settings (import/export), customizable business open/closed indicator, etc.
Cons
Nothing that I din't like about this product as yet. Just a thought though that if it was a freeware, it would have been the perfect icing on the cake.
Summary
Looking for keeping a track of my local time along with local time of clients located in different time zones, came across Anuko. Has some great features to the boot as mentioned in the Pros section. A recommended MUST download if you need to keep a simultaneous track of time across various zones for whatever reason!

"Worst Download EVER!"
Version: Anuko World Clock 5.4.2
Pros
Looks great, that's the ONLY PRO!
Cons
Alarmclock feature DOES NOT work. Which pretty much makes this program a waste of time.
Summary
Don't bother downloading or paying for this program. The software devolopers definately don't deserve your money on this one. In actuallity I would give this program ZERO stars. Windows 7 already has ***** like this that function much better I just needed an alarm clock.

"Below average"
Version: Anuko World Clock 5.4.2
Pros
Loaded and configured quickly.
Cons
Only an analog clock face available ; wasn't able to convert to a digital version. However, my chief complaint was the over aggressive approach to market the product; it was too much in my face.
