What's New in SolGlow

2.0

October 23, 2026

SolGlow 2.0: one clear answer about your sun, every day. SUN TODAY (NEW) Today now opens on one answer: when your vitamin D window opens — the same UV 3+ hours that call for sun protection — how long until you'd burn, and the protection today's UV calls for. Turn on protection alerts and SolGlow gives you a heads-up when those hours begin. SUN SENSITIVITY (NEW, FREE) Some common medicines make skin burn faster. Tell SolGlow you take one and every burn time gets a cautious margin. Heading to the beach, the lake or the slopes? Pick today's surroundings — sand, water or snow — and the burn math accounts for the extra UV they reflect. MONTHLY SKIN CHECK (NEW, FREE) A guided ABCDE self-exam with a monthly reminder. It helps you learn what's normal for your skin — it never analyzes photos or diagnoses anything. LEARN & SOURCES (NEW, FREE) Plain-language guides to the UV Index, sunscreen, vitamin D in winter, medications and more — each one with the studies behind it, plus how SolGlow calculates every number. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Open it and Today spreads into two columns, Learn reads like a book, and the Solstice Story pages in spreads. Fold it like a laptop during a sun session and the clock sits up top, readable from your towel, with the controls on the flat half. Stand it like a tent for a one-row scoreboard. ALSO NEW • A start-session button right on the Sun Today card • Smoother share cards and Solstice Stories, and a fix for a story sheet that could open blank • Dozens of reliability fixes across the app, widgets and Apple Watch As always: no accounts, no analytics, no ads. Estimates are educational, not a diagnosis — always consult your clinician about vitamin D and blood testing.

Highly Recommend ☀️

I am OBSESSED with the SolGlow app! It has been absolutely amazing! I love being able to track my sun exposure and keep an eye on my vitamin D in such an easy and convenient way. The app is so simple to use, informative, and has really helped me become more intentional about getting healthy sun exposure. 🌞💛

I honestly look forward to checking it and seeing my progress! It’s such a great app and one I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone who wants to be more mindful of their sun exposure and vitamin D.

Needs a tutorial

Update after first use: I sat out in the sun at “prime time” for 47 minutes. I turned on the tracker- it told me recording. When done, I turned it off and checked to see how much vitamin D I got and it logged zero. Useless.

This needs a tutorial. Granted I just downloaded but right off the bat, I don’t see where to find best time to be in the sun, The beginning tracking button should be right at the top- big and in your face, not a little tiny pencil under start tracking that’s needs to be scrolled down to. Not sure if I’ll keep this…

Response from developer

Good news: version 1.9, which just shipped, addresses both things you ran into. We made several tracking improvements to prevent sessions like yours from getting lost, so a 47-minute session now logs correctly. If updating doesn't fix the zero-reading issue, it's almost always tied to Apple Watch Time in Daylight permissions (Health app → Sharing → Apps → SolGlow), and we're glad to help track it down. We also just published a step-by-step guide at twisteddatastudios.com/solglow-guide.html covering how to find your best sun window and start a session from scratch. Would love the chance to change your mind now that 1.9 is out — reach out through the app's support page anytime if anything still doesn't add up.
