Description of problem: Times of observations (my own and other people’s) are showing as being in GMT when they are in AEST or other local time zones. When I view my own observations in the browser, they will show as 9:30pm AEST (which is correct), but in the iPhone app they will show as 9:30pm GMT (which is incorrect). Other people’s observations show as being in GMT (despite being in Australia). There’s no way of telling for sure whether the times need to be converted from GMT to the local timezone to be correct, or whether the GMT indicator is to be ignored.

I can replicate for photos I import that I’ve taken in Australia and Singapore. Not for Hawaii, the US, and Mexico. We’ve made an issue.

The good news is that this is only a display issue - the data on the observation is not corrupted, it’s just displayed incorrectly.
