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.
