How do I format the date and time to display it on the frontend?

The plugin saves the date and time in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD hh:mm:ss (for example 2016-04-01 16:57:00). This is the format used by WordPress in wp_posts table, so it's easy to use this field value in custom meta queries. However the Advanced Custom Fields API returns the date and time in the format set in the field settings, so you can just use the_field() or get_field() function in your theme.

To display the date and time in a different format, you can use strtotime() and date() functions, for example:

echo date('d/m/Y g:i a', strtotime(get_field('date_and_time_field')));

You can also use format_value filter to format the field value.
