What's New in Burnie

1.8.0

October 14, 2026

Hey, it's Burnie! Good news if you've got a bigger screen. I now run properly on iPad and iPhone Duo. No more tiny phone window in the middle: I spread out and use all the space. Your cards sit side by side, and the forecast and products finally have room to breathe. - On the Duo I stay clear of the fold, so nothing ends up in the crease. - My widgets now look good on tinted and clear Home Screens too. - Setting me up is just as easy on a big screen. - Plus a bunch of small fixes. Go enjoy the sun. I'll keep an eye on the time. Burnie

Works great

I went to Florida recently and I always burn when the sun is out. This is one of the few times where I’ve used enough sun protection thanks to the reminders. Great app. Thanks developer.

The app we never knew we needed

Not even a huge sunbird but I decided to give this app a try. It’s so wonderfully designed, the dev cares and constantly pushing out updates. I find it especially useful to track sunscreen for my little boy, which is now available as sub profiles has been released. Absolutely invaluable in the summer months.

My kid loves it

Makes getting sunscreen on my kid so much more fun! They love starting the timer and seeing Bernie’s nudge. They ask to check and see how much time is left, and can’t wait to re-apply and start the timer again.

Response from developer

Amazing to hear! I think you kids will love the next update. It will allow you to make profiles for them so they all can get their own advice! Stay safe 🦞🧡

Updated review

After reaching out and explaining the issues with location and Fahrenheit / Celsius, the creator of the app was great about fixing it. I’m now using the widget and can keep an eye on the UV, the sunscreen reminder is also very helpful.
