Unresponsive
After this last update the app has flatlined . 2 bad there’s no other feedback mechanism than this review. Now I’ll be spending (how long?) coming up with an untaken nickname to get this postedbrrrrrrrtrtrrr
Haven’t even had the chance to try it
I genuinely think, at full working capacity, this app would be my godsend. I love the idea of an hourly forecast and push notifications for a customizable UV Index. And as a UX designer, it’s my opinion that this UI looks clean and intuitive, which I highly appreciate.
However, the app doesn’t seem to recognize that I started my 3 day trial. The app store shows I’m subscribed, but the app is still blocking me from accessing premium options. I’d love to try out this app and base my rating off of my actual experience with it after this is resolved.
Edit: It actually seems to be very inaccurate. The app said it was UV 6 when it was actually UV 8. That’s a large disparity. I think I’ll stick to the default weather app on my phone, unfortunately.Show lessCheshire348

This issue should be sorted with version 5.1.2.Essential app for me ...
As someone who suffers from photophobia I need a reliable source when it comes to advising current, expected and advance UV levels. This app provides that in a brilliant and easy to view way, with the bonus of alerts that you can set for your own personal threshold. App support is excellent and this all adds up to a 5 star rating.Show lessPEX BD
Good app but could be better
I just bought this app for the modular watch face. Very easy app to use. I had a slight problem getting it started and reflecting the UV index. But after sending a review to the developer, I received instructions on how to fix the problem. I am very happy to be able to use this and the features on the free version are wonderful. Thanks for the great customer service. If you are concerned about the UV when you go out I would recommend getting this app.Show lessMacLoverPro9

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. The value shown on the complication/watch face should be the same as shown on the wheel/app. Keep in mind that the watch face cannot be updated in realtime, but with approximately 10 minutes intervals. The UVI wheel is updated in realtime however. Please also note that you need to start the app on your phone at least once to grant the necesary permissions to the app. If you still are seeing only 0 as values, please try to reinstall the app. The watch app and complications should work even if you are using the free version.UV Wise
Am very appreciative of this app - great that it reflects your location and there is an ability to notify if UV level reaches relevant rating - helps me manage time in the sun and even where the sun is not obvious but the UV levels are 3+ the app alerts to thisAnnek3118
Cool
For spring break this will be useful we are 3 weeks short for spring break. Iam buying water balloons and will be outside for a long time but I m Japanese and have brown skin so I may be ok we’ll see. Currently with mostly sunny skies here UV index is 6.5 at max.Skater30mph
Geo error
The description for Sylhet, Bangladesh came up as Chittagong, Bangladesh instead, though the position on the map was correct - a bug in the system
Update - error still in the system. Would upload map and widget to demo if I could. Many months later, still no fix for this bug, not sure what the point of leaving feedback is if nothing is doneShow lessmaiabarbara

Hi. Thanks for the feedback! I’ve been trying to recreate this issue, but I have been unable to find any errors. Please contact me on my support e-mail (found on the App Store page for my app) and I’ll try to assist further. I would most likely need a more accurate position of the area that reports the wrong city name.Difficult to predict based on their wheel
I downloaded 5 similar apps to test them all out, and I gravitated towards this one first because of the nice graphic. However, the rotating wheel, rotates in the wrong direction, and instead of showing you how the UV index increases throughout the day and decreases towards the evening, it is more binary, and will only show you first thing in the morning, midday, and late in the evening. That’s no good for me. I need to know during the daytime when it’s okay for me to be outside, but this app can’t tell you. Instead of going from green to Orange to read to purple, it can only go from yellow to purple and nowhere in between on those days when it is extreme. And in Sydney during the summer every day is extreme. It would’ve been nice if they allowed feedback from within the app, but obviously they are not interested, so I am better off forgetting this and moving onto the next app.Show lessMobiDeb

Thank you for the feedback! I’m actually working on an update these days that will allow you to drag the sun left and right on the top graph, that way you can check the UVIndex any time during the day :) And also a direct feedback button is coming :) Hope to see you keep using my app!Innaccurate work of fiction
Had uv index at 4 at night and went higher as night went on - how is this possible?, stated my suburb was overcast when it was clear blue skies. Was way off the government agency in Australia that measures UV. For something that is to assist people making healthy sun choices the uv index needs to be super accurate and timely.Show lesserby bunny

Hi! I've never heard of an issue like this before, the UVIndex should ofcourse always be 0 at night :) It sounds like maybe the app is using the wrong time zone for some reason. Are you able to send me a screenshot of the app when it shows the UVIndex at night to my contact e-mail? (found by following the support link on my AppStore download page).Basic but good
Love the widget because I check it everyday. Safety is priorityBest Coast Eagles
