And i feels like it forces you to pay i did not see an exit out of it and i know it costs money but i would rather watch ads then pay to tan when i can for free. ### 1/5 — pay to use *2026-05-31, version 2.1.8* entire app is blocked behind a paywall lol ### 4/5 — Want: Push notifications *2026-05-29, version 2.1.8* I can’t find any app that has push notifications for tanning! The widget is okay, but when I’m turned around not on my phone/have my eyes closed, I’d like an alert to turn. ### 3/5 — Tanning doesn’t work *2026-05-27, version 2.1.7* It looked like a really good app but when I try to get a routine or just a quick tan it won’t let me. Even when I just push the button nothing happens. I would rate this 5 stars if the tanning part worked. ### 4/5 — good! *2026-05-26, version 2.1.7* this is really good for tanning ### 2/5 — not free *2026-05-26* unfortunately we need to make a payment to access to the app it’s not useful if it’s not free ### 3/5 — Progress selfies *2026-05-24, version 2.1.7* Won’t let me add progress selfies ### 1/5 — Taking my money bruh *2026-05-23, version 2.1.7* I was using the free trial that costs 5.99 for the amount of time it said it’d be free, soon the time came and I forgot to cancel before it started to make me pay. Deleted the app, and it kept sending me bills that I needed to pay it but I never even used it, got some money on my card and it took my money which mind you I never even used trials services, to this day mind you I’ve now cancelled subscription and it’s STILL trying to take my money ### 1/5 — Paying *2026-05-20, version 2.1.6* I have to pay ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Requires Subscription *2026-07-30, version 2.1.8* Costs $5.99/week to use. There are no basic features you can use for free. ### 1/5 — Made me pay 🥺 *2026-07-23, version 2.1.8* I went on excited and it was free then wouldn’t let me past the first thing ### 1/5 — You can’t even use the app without paying. *2026-07-14, version 2.1.8* You download the app but have to pay to do anything at all. There is no free version or free functions. ### 1/5 — Having to pay *2026-06-16, version 2.1.8* I have downloaded a lot of apps, and I really need them because there so great, but then when you have to pay, most people just delete the app and try to find a free one, even if it’s not as good. This is the second app I have to delete THIS WEEK, even if your app is an amazing creation, it’s not worth the money ### 1/5 — Spf app Isnt good *2026-06-11, version 2.1.8* I have to pay before even using the app. ### 1/5 — pay wall *2026-06-10, version 2.1.8* holy hell is subscription fatigue real…i’m getting awfully sick of downloading an app trying to better myself and getting slapped in the face with a subscription just to use said app…this is one of those apps. useless. ### 1/5 — useless *2026-06-10, version 2.1.8* downloaded the app because i saw an ad about it, once it was downloaded i did the little survey about skin types but after i finished that it took me to a screen that said “tanning routine is ready!” but i have to pay. i thought it would be an optional thing but.. there is no option to exit the payment screen. i’ve tried multiple times but i just ended up deleting it because there are better apps out there. ### 1/5 — paying *2026-06-10, version 2.1.8* i can’t even use this without having to pay, like no?? ### 1/5 — No Free Version *2026-06-07, version 2.1.8* If you’re looking for an app with a basic version & then an upgraded paid version, this is not it. There is no free basic version. Don’t waste your time. ### 1/5 — Had to pay to use *2026-06-05, version 2.1.8* When I first got this app I was so excited to have a perfect tanning routine but no, when I finished the thing where I had to answer questions it told me to start my 3 day trial or pay 5.99$ A MONTH! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Accurate *2026-07-13, version 2.1.8* It was super accurate and scanned my skin affectively ### 5/5 — SPF *2026-07-07, version 2.1.8* Amazing app!

I got the payment thing, and I didn’t have no x to exit out of it. Then, deleted. Please fix so ppl don’t have to pay! ### 5/5 — Soo good!! *2026-05-21, version 2.1.6* I love this app it makes me so tan! ### 5/5 — Tan *2026-05-20, version 2.1.6* I’m loving this so much I already looking like hotdogs and I was just looking like paper white ### 5/5 — I love it *2026-05-09, version 2.1.5* Ama Zing ### 5/5 — Emily *2026-03-23, version 1.9.0* Always helpful!!!!
