Great App

This app is awesome. Skin cancer is something I don’t want to mess around with and this helps me stay safe in the sun.

Great app that can be used anywhere!

This is a great app to use when you’re getting prepared to work outside or at the beach.

AWESOME!

This app is AWESOME!! It takes the guesswork out of when to re-apply sunscreen or head indoors. Perfect for when I’m fishing or at the ballgame & am too preoccupied to realize I could be doing serious damage to my skin. AlerTan is a lifesaver!!!
