### 1/5 — Terrible widget

*2026-03-02*

I wanted a widget that doesn’t have a monthly fee and tells me local uv index not the uv index in Egypt. That was beyond useless.

### 1/5 — Broken?

*2023-06-07*

Hey, Zach, something’s gone wrong with the app’s forecasting. Today, the app shows a UVI of 9 in Phoenix Arizona at 5 AM, decreasing to 0 at noon and remaining there until midnight when it begins to rise again. Death Valley California has a similar forecast.
