Crossing Time Zones Shifts Due Dates

howardjp says:
I want to start with noting this may not be an Android issue, but it seems to be how it manifests.

I live in Washington and when I head west and cross into a new time zone, an item that was due on, say, Monday, suddenly becomes due on Sunday, apparently because "due on Monday" means due at midnight. While I think something that is due on "Monday at 12:00" should become "Monday at 11:00" when heading moved one time zone west, an item due on "Monday" should probably stay due on "Monday."

Unfortunately RTM doesn't currently support shifting timezones; when a due date is set in one timezone, the task will be due at the start of that day (i.e., midnight) in that timezone. Sorry for the inconvenience.

You may find that leaving the tasks alone works in some cases (if possible), but if not, you should be able to reset the due date/time (by entering it the same way again).

Hope this helps!

This happens on my iPhone too. Kinda weird getting off the plane and finding scrambled list. It goes back to normal when I get to my home zone again, but renders the app confusing while traveling
