Binary

It would be helpful if there was a graduated scale during the day without having to go to other (less reliable) sources.

There’s a huge difference between UV at 9am and 1pm a they require different strategies, particularly if not going out for very long in the morning and afternoon.

Many other apps do this. An all or nothing approach isn’t helpful.

Hello, thank you for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to continue improving the app's features for our users and we will pass this on to our technical team for future consideration. When the UV hits 3, sun protection is recommended.

Widget please

Good app, would be even more useful if it allowed to quickly check current/max uv rating with a widget

Simple and effective

So easy to check the UV at any given time. It has become a daily habit. Helps me be aware and make decisions for myself and for my kids about sun protection that day or at that time of day.

Working again!

Previously had errors with locations and reporting, developer has advised the issue has now been resolved and confirmed the app is working correctly again. Great app to use for live data on current UV levels.

Doesn’t work at all

Original version was fantastic. I used it daily.
This version has zero data for my home. Nothing. Nada.
What the hell?

Good when it works, which isn’t very often. The previous version was more reliable.

Only loads sometimes

Frequently doesnt load any data for any saved locations evens after force closing the app. No update available. No longer reliable, like the original version

App doesn’t work

The new version of this app doesn’t load 95% of the time. Such a shame. The old one was great and I never had issues with it. Now I open it and it sits there loading then just gives me an error. I’ve tried closing and opening, and deleting and re-downloading and it still doesn’t work.
