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?

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.

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.
