If the widgets come back I’d be willing to change my review. Being able to set that I had applied sunscreen through the widget or set that I am indoors was what set this app apart.

so cute & so useful

user-friendly and helpful for reminding me when to reapply sunscreen. i love the little animals on widgets, makes me feel like I’m taking care of a tamagotchi when i’m taking care of myself! also my bf never remembers to use sunscreen which makes me mad, i like the feature where i can nudge him to apply
