I read the help page on this site that explains how to set tIme and date. The part on how do do this with iOS says to touch the time tab at the top of the screen. I cannot find a time tab, I have touched the time display but I do not get a time wheel as described. Just in case, I tried touching the time button on the bottom of the screen (which is time flow), then tried touching the time shown on the top of this pop up. There is no way to adjust the time to a specific time/date that I can see. So I tried to use the time flow to move to a specific date/time with the moon selected to be centered. After a short bit of time movement, the program looses the centering on the moon, sometimes it just loops back to the starting time. I haven’t tried this on the MacOS version yet with version 6, but I have used this on the Mac version successfully in previous versions.

Bill Tschumy Theodore,
Can you tell me the URL you were looking at? There is no "time tab" on iOS but there is the Time button at the bottom of the screen. That is what is presumably meant.
The Time Flow panel allows you to adjust time by various increments. The unit you will change time by is underlined in the panel. It is also shown in the lower left of the panel. Yo can change the unit by tapping a different unit in the time display, thereby underlining it. You can also tap the unit display in the lower left to change it.
If you want to set time to something specific in the past of future you may find it more convenient to go to the Date &Time Settings. There you have the the standard iOS pickers for time and date.
I don't know why you were having problems with losing centering or getting time reset when stepping time with the time flow panel. I assume you were accidentally tapping Now or swiping the screen (which can uncenter the object).

Theodore Bade Sure, I did a search on your site and found an article for setting time:
https://support.simulationcurriculum.com/hc/en-us/articles/115015864907-Date-Time-Help
I am looking at the help and it doesn't appear to be talking about the settings, but that might be what it meant. I will give that a try.

Theodore Bade Okay, I looked at it. So one has to go into the settings, set the date/time to whatever, then go back to the display. The help screen wasn't clear to me. Sorry. Now I see how to do it.

Keiron Smith Thanks, Theodore! We've added a graphic to the PB article to help clarify the UI.
