Sun exposure feature not working

Good app, I pay for the pro version. Good new feature with Sun Exposure tracking.

One bug:
The Finish button is not working from the lock screen very reliably. It oftentimes does nothing for me. I have to click around the button on the sunbeam stats so that it opens the app, then press the Finish button in the app.

One suggestion:
The biggest challenge I’m having with logging sun exposure is remembering to turn it off when I come back in. Perhaps there could be an option to turn on a slight sound like a chirp to remind that it is still running, and/or a way to edit an entry that ran too long by dialing back the minutes and the app estimating the IUs back accordingly.

Love this app

I’ve been using this app for years and it had never let me down. As an esthetician I love that it’s custom for your Fitzpatrick, and will allow you to set timers based off what spf if any you are wearing! Bonus points for the vitamin D timer!

Just Why?

I forgot to clock the exact time in the sun so I put “start session” an hour into it and was going to adjust the time and their is NO option to do so. Why?

Fantastic!

Great app, no adds extremely useful whether at home or away!

Response from developer

Thanks for the review, glad you’re enjoying Sunbeam!

Prefer to other UV apps

Was using a different UV index app recommended by a doctor/dermatologist, but I actually think this one is a lot better.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the feedback, really glad you’re enjoying the app!
