Daylight Saving Time change (Australia) not reflected on web app

Vickie

The clock changed for many parts of Australia over the weekend, but this has not been reflected on the Cronometer web app time. It is currently 09:55 and clicking on the time for a food item in the diary still logs it as 08:55.

The issue is not encountered on the Android phone app.

Thanks for reporting this Vickie! We are looking into this issue. In the meantime you can override this issue by manually entering the time.
It is probable that your phone time settings are being used which is why this is working on your phone. The web version doesn't use the device time which is why you are seeing the discrepancy on the web version.
I will notify you when this issue has been resolved.
As always, thanks for your prompt and detailed bug reports! We really appreciate it!

Hi @Vickie,
May I ask what browser you are using?

Chrome on Windows. I just tested on Firefox and it has the same issue.

Hi @Vickie ,
One of our developers has been looking into this issue. It sounds like for the time being the best solution is to switch your timezones to set automatically, instead of the manual time zone setting, as the manual settings do not currently account for daylight savings; We will fix this for future updates.
You can change your settings by using the diary settings menu and un-checking the box next to "select preferred timezone". Once you have done this, the timezone will be automatically set based on your web browser's clock.

Thanks @Hilary and Cronometer developers! I've unticked it and now the logged time is the same as my computer clock.
