title: Is it best practice to always store dates in GMT and then adjust on display?
body: <p>I am trying to get a better understanding of dates.  I'm noticing that IOS seems to want to do everything in standard GMT dates.  That is when you ask it for now, it gives you GMT.  </p>
  
  <p>This is creating complexity as when I set reminders for the future (and set them in core data), I cant just set them based on current time for user but need to convert them to GMT for storage, back to actual for display and then if the user does something to the display convert back again to GMT.</p>
  
  <p>What is best practice for going back and forth between actual local date and GMT.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for any guidance.</p>
