Latest reviews of JetLag Genie app for iPhone and iPad
This app seems to work okay for westbound travel up to departure time. It tells you to change the time to the new time zone then. After that it provides nonsense. For example: 11:00 PM - Wake up 2:00 PM - Go to bed 3 to 6 PM - exposé yourself to bright light 6 to 9 PM - seek dark 11 PM to 9 PM - take a 1 hr nap Review above was in 2012. I thought there may have been improvements but not the case. For example I am presently in Europe with a noon flight home to N America: the app is telling me to go to bed at 11AM on the day of my flight!
A must for every international traveler.
Great app. Not too complicated. Well designed to serve it purpose.
I love how the schedule is clearly defined and integrates with other iPhone features. Id like a bit more editorial of why the recommendations are being given - maybe a summary of the science behind the app in an "about jetlag" section?
For the true jet set, it would be helpful to have the option to enter multiple destinations in multiple time zones. Otherwise easy to use and to stay organized.
