First off TCT (short for Torn city time) use UTC +0 or GMT time zone (Greenwich Mean Time). You can use any Iceland city as a base of comparison to convert TCT to your time zone time.

1. Use this link : https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20200701T120000&p1=tz_gmt 2. Click add another city on the blue box and add your city and you'll see your local time conversion. Opt. Change the date and time value accordingly to any Torn event (ex: Your faction next chain event) on the Greenwich Mean Time box and voila!

I don't really find myself needing an app for this but to each their own. Just remember simple things like Torn New Day is my 5pm etc.
If it makes it easier for you it's obviously fine. For most people it makes more sense to use Torn time only, otherwise it can be very confusing to discuss stuff with your faction mates for instance.
Can the 'tude, dude, experience has very little to do with it. This is a baby-simple conversion. For example: midnight in Torn = 5:00pm in my time zone. Obviously, I am exactly 7 hours behind Torn time. Do you really need an app to do that for you? I sure as hell hope not. [image: external-content.duckduckgo.com]
While I do get most of the comments that it isn't hard, I'd image that in some (very rare) cases, it actually can be hard.
Let's day you are 7h30 ahead of Torn, and it's like 4h20. You'd have to subtract those 30 minutes, then 4h, and then another 3h, I'd think that opening an app is easier than that.
I do know that there aren't that much timezones with a xh30/xh45 difference, but they do exist.
Superfluous device-reliance turns brains to mush. Which makes sense - if we don't use our muscles in a focused manner they atrophy. The brain is not that different. In short, it's best to encourage people to practice thinking for themselves, at least once in awhile, and definitely for baby-simple tasks such as very basic time conversion.
sorry my b, before daylight savings the UK was using GMT. During daylight savings it is now BST. My point still stands about torn adjsting its time for daylight savings
