Time Zones
I'm sure this is an issue cross-platform but timezones aren't taken into account. The API serves it in EST because that's how they are entered. Either the app needs to determine the current EST time using a time server of the times need to be offset accordingly when collected from the system clock.
There was discussion about how using an opentimes API endpoint would solve this but it was ultimately struck down at a meeting.
