  • Because Time Zone Support is enabled, the event continues to be displayed at 12:00 PM in your selected time zone.

 

Ensure Matching Time Zones

Then ensure WeekCal uses the same settings. To do so, please do the following:

  1. Tap on the little Gear icon in the upper right corner
  2. Tap on Calendar Preferences
  3. Tap Time Zone Support
  4. Ensure settings are equal to the system settings of your device as described above

Still Having Issues?

Please remove your synced iCal calendars from your iPhone, wait 5 minutes and re-add them again. This usually clears the Time Zone cache of your iCal calendars.
