Enjoy our new 'always-on display your saved trip' feature: once you filled the fields 'From city', 'At time,date', 'To city', 'Till time,date', and press 'Save/Copy to clipboard' button, the app automatically scrolls to the most critical trip info section, such as precise clocks in proper time zones, and countdown timers with local weather forecast, each time you unlock your phone's screen or tap the app icon (a JavaScript 'visibilitychange' event).
