### 4/5 — 👍🏽

*2026-08-21, version 3.4.4*

Very good and helpful 👍🏽

### 2/5 — should be free

*2026-08-19*

it’s a good app helping track progress, keeping alarms and helping protection. However I do not believe it is worth money, maybe for extra tips or analysis but for the base app, which is marketed as a tanning routine. You can only do one routine before it becomes locked which is disappointing for something I could use alarms for

### 3/5 — Good app

*2026-08-18, version 3.4.3*

It’s a good app and a good way to get a tan and it helps a bit but sometimes the timers stop working

### 3/5 — Naja

*2026-08-09*

Die app ist eigentlich super ich hab sie ein Tag benutzt jetzt ist natürlich alles wieder kostenpflichtig schade

### 4/5 — This the best app

*2026-08-09*

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-05, version 3.4.3*

Good

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-08-03, version 3.4.2*

Not having pro does not overall impact your tanning routine and the app and routines actually work, although i wish there was a wider range of skin tones but great app!

### 5/5 — SunSafe review

*2026-07-20, version 3.4.1*

It’s great it make sure ur safe and that y don’t get burnt and it gives you directions

### 5/5 — Best tanning app I could actually use

*2026-07-20, version 3.4.1*

It’s so good and I can actually use it without paying, and the premium features are worth paying for. I can actually use the app that’s labeled as free, as free.

### 5/5 — No sunburn just tan

### 1/5 — .

### 1/5 — DO NOT USE THIS APP

*2026-08-06*

earlier this summer I was struggling to tan and was seeing this app all over TikTok so decided to give it a try. Safe to say it did not work and I was not seeing any results. Due to this I decided to cancel my 7 day free trial and delete my app. Unfortunately the cancellation must not have went through and now the app has charged me a years subscription which I cannot afford in the slightest. Bearing in mind I am paying this money for something I will never use. This is so wrong on so many levels please stay safe and dont download the app

### 1/5 — Misleading Free Trial & No Customer Support

*2026-07-28, version 3.4.2*

Be careful before subscribing. I believed I was signing up for the advertised 7-day free trial, but I was immediately charged for the annual subscription instead. I canceled the subscription immediately after noticing the charge and reached out to both Apple and the developer. Apple denied my refund requests, and the developer never responded. Very disappointing customer service.

### 1/5 — lowk took my money

*2026-07-25, version 3.4.2*

this could be entirely my fault but i got the app, thougjt tanning for 2 mins at a time was compete bs, and deleted it thinking all data (including the useless 30 pound subscription) wpuld be taken away. i have now been charged 30 quid on my account that i need and can’t get the money back all because i thougjt my subscription ended. thanks.

### 1/5 — Subscription problems

*2026-07-18, version 3.4.1*

Kinda useful but I want to cancel the subscription but it keeps trying to charge me , now I owe money to apple even though I tried to cancel the subscription

### 1/5 — scam

### 1/5 — read

*2026-07-15, version 3.4*

Wouldnt even give 1 star, said it was a free trial when it was really £30 does not respond when you email

### 1/5 — would give 0 stars but can’t xx

*2026-07-11, version 3.4*

told me i could get a 7 day free trial then charged me 30£, wouldn’t give me my money back and now i have this stupid app for a year, without the subscription you get hardly anything. would not recommend.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2026-06-24, version 3.3.11*

You have to pay if you wanna use it for more than a day

### 5/5 — Five star review

*2026-07-23*

I love that it gives you a routineg love that it also be really great. I don’t know if they could do this but they could list the stuff they would use like in a link somewhere on this app and like give the link how to buy that like like sunscreen or body oil or lotion or anything like that but otherwise I love this app when it shows UV and I love that it has a good weather. I’ve had it for about two weeks and I’m in love.
