  • Not accurate

    I love in Kuwait and it is 122F outside right now. I literally just got a flip-flop tan line from walking to my car from the grocery store (not exaggerating). Yet when I open the app it rates the uv level as a 1 and doesn't recommend SPF. There are no instructions for the app, so I don't know if I'm supposed to be standing outside when using it, but no matter; I'll be deleting this one.

  • Be safe in the sun

    A great app that gives the UV index & tell you what SPF protection lotion to be used & for how long it will protect - FAMTASTIC
  • Does Not Seem Accurate

    I have a hard time believing that a sunny, summer day in Tampa has a 0 risk with more than an hour outside before burning. If they are willing to stand out here and show proof, I'll begin to rely on their app.
  • Uses location data - not actual sunlight

    If this app seems too good to be true, that's because it is. There is no UV sensor on the iPhone. They rely entirely on the current GPS location to then find out from some unnamed weather service what the UV Index is for that overall area.
    But what's worse is that you can't manually input a location to plan ahead or to specify a time of day. This means you cannot use it to help in planning for a trip or if you live in an area with micro-climates, such as the Bay Area.

  • Accurate At The Moment

    Tells an accurate reading at the current time your looking at it but you don't know what it will be like at a given time so you can't plan ahead at all.
  • Great!

    Love that its in real time. Nice looking interface too.
  • Nice!

    I love this app. Wherever I am, I can get an accurate UV reading.
  • I love this app

    This app is easy to use and gives real-time readings; a big assist in planning outdoor activities/monitoring sun exposure in Arizona.
