Unfortunately, the app won’t work with my older iPad.

Great information not found elsewhere.

The app information is awesome. I personally love the UV graph which has helped me figure out how to maximize my outdoor time while remaining safe from over exposure. It shows you the whole world as well so you can see the UV around the globe. I find that the app crashes and this is its only detrimental flaw. It’ll tell you how much time you need to get enough vitamin d and at different times in the day as well. A Great help.

The best UVU app

Excellent info thanks. Much better than the clunky NZ met service alternative.

Does exactly what’s needed, with optional detail

Considering this app is fully free (no ads, no upsell), this app is amazing. The UI isn’t polished but everything works, it’s extremely configurable with advanced options available, and it gives you everything you might want to know to make good decisions about your sun exposure.
Thanks!

Ha ha me again

I was just tinkering around the app today and saw your update for vitamin D/ sun exposure time. Well done. Just wanted you to know how appreciated this free app is.
