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!

Sun exposure feature not working

Good app, I pay for the pro version. Good new feature with Sun Exposure tracking, but it doesn’t work. Each day, the first entry calculates IUs, but subsequent tracking that day always comes out as 0 IU.

Love this app

Always tells me accurate uv, easy to find, tell me uv per hour and connects to ur loco

Essential!

The Sunbeam app is a great concept, and I use it regularly. It is simple and easy to use, no ads, and is very well designed for purpose. Highly recommended!

Response from developer

Thanks so much for the generous feedback - really glad you find the app useful!

It can be even better.

Has great potential. The only thing that I suggest is make all features available, but with the pro, it enhances the features.

Great app!

This app helps me keep track when it’s safe for me to be in the sun before the UV rays are too high. I had skin cancer last year so this is really important for me. Happy with the ease of using it as well.

Response from developer

Don’t waste time

Good

Sunbeam gives one week of uv , and is quite accurate

Response from developer

Thanks for leaving a review 🙏 Really glad you find Sunbeam useful!

Great for easing into spring sun

Worth the pro , one small request is to be able to edit sessions

Response from developer

Thanks for the review! Really glad the app is useful and appreciate the suggestion about editing sessions - this is on my list of things to look at in future 😊

Let the sun shine

Great app. Really helpful for knowing Sun burn time

Great UV indicator

We live at an elevation of 9500’ in northern NM. In the summer at that elevation, the UVs are off the chart 😳. This app really helps us to plan our day to avoid excessive rays!!😎

Great app

Great app for assessing sunburn risk and daylight hours. Also good for evaluating sunlight energy available to plants.
