It would make this more user-friendly for those U.S. users. ### 3/5 — Pro version *2025-05-14, version 1.13* What more does the Pro version offer, apart from the removal of advertising? ### 3/5 — Doesn't work with Apple health *2025-01-23, version 1.13* I just paid $10 for this to do one specific thing—integrate with Apple health and leave measurements in the Health app. I can't work out how to get it to do this. I have all the required permissions in Health. There's hardly anything to change in the UV app itself. I'm at a loss. ### 3/5 — App mudou para o idioma inglês, e não dá pra mudar *2024-12-18, version 1.13* . ### 3/5 — Q. *2024-09-03, version 1.13* I use this app all the time, but find it most frustrating, because it seems to freeze on me constantly. The only way I can get it to work, is to reboot my phone constantly. I have an apple XR phone, up to date os, deleted and reinstalled app, still freezes on me . ### 3/5 — Me funciona en el iPad pero no en el iPhone *2024-07-23, version 1.13* IPad 11 pro y iPhone 15. “Mi no entender” ### 4/5 — No screen widget? *2024-07-20, version 1.13* I would like to know how to put the wadget on my screen so I can see the UV index all the time; is it possible? ### 3/5 — Useful but buggy *2024-07-15, version 1.13* The various UV timings are helpful, and the ability to modify for skin color and local conditions is a big plus. On the negative side, it often won’t update unless you force-quit the app and restart. ### 3/5 — Good, almost great *2024-05-26, version 1.13* I love being able to work out the UV in my area. This is a very handy app on my phone and Apple Watch, to help keep me and my kids safe. The only downside is that it only records to Apple health when running the app from the watch. If I run it from my phone, the data doesn’t log with Apple health. Minor thing, but that would make it a great app if it logged from both. ### 2/5 — Doesn't work on M Series Macs. *2024-02-08, version 1.13* First off, I realize that this app is not verified for Macs (Don't even bother to criticize me). I just want to let other Mac users know that this app will not work for them. ### 2/5 — Beautiful app, but inaccurate UV rating. *2023-06-17, version 1.13* This is a very attractive app and I love the way the whole screen changes colour to match the UV rating. Unfortunately the data is wrong. It’s currently stating the UV in my location is 8.2 with clear skies. Every other app I’m using (plus Siri’s own forecast) says it’s 4 and overcast. I’ve made absolutely sure the location is correct. As such, the app is completely useless for its primary purpose. ### 2/5 — Могло бы быть лучше *2023-05-20* Приложение не лучше аналогов. Но есть один существенный минус для многомиллионной аудитории .Нет версии на русском( ### 3/5 — Ok app, no widget support *2023-05-17, version 1.13* Ok app, but definitely not worth paying for with no widget support. Once this gets added into the app I will look at again. ### 2/5 — Their source of data is now poor *2023-03-28, version 1.13* Its very inaccurate in the northern hemisphere compared to other UV apps and sources. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scammers!! *2025-09-23, version 1.13* You guys are trying to bill me $10 for a Pro subscription that I ABSOLUTELY did not sign up for and do not want!! Is this what you do? Just scam people out of money? Shame on you! ### 1/5 — „Can‘t catch the sun rays“ *2025-05-06* Das Netz kann noch so schnell und stabil sein, die App ist offline. Selbst ein Neustart nützt nichts. ### 1/5 — Sun Creme reminder is not working *2024-05-27* You pay for the sun creme reminder - but this is not working- it doesn’t matter, if you close the app, take a call or only wait until the screensaver is on- the reminder always go off. It is not working! ### 1/5 — Crashes *2024-01-12, version 1.13* Used to be great app now It crashes immediately after opening ### 1/5 — Solo aparece en inglés *2023-11-09, version 1.13* Estaria bueno que tengas mas idiomas ### 1/5 — Uv info good, price not *2023-08-09, version 1.13* All the info seems correct over the past while using it but the $13 charge for a few hours of info is definitely not necessary. I'd gladly buy it for a few bucks but not this overpriced. ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2023-06-03, version 1.13* Keeps crashing when opening the app ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on iPhone 14 pro max *2023-06-01, version 1.13* I had paid the pro version when I used my iPhone 12 last month. Now I upgraded to iPhone 14 pro max and doesn’t work…is crashing all time one time I open it…even having pro version I can’t enjoy the services of this app…hope the developers can launch an upgrade with that bugs fixed as soon is possible. ### 1/5 — Abstürze *2023-04-12* Die App stürzt immer wieder ab lässt sich nicht öffnen ### 1/5 — Dejó de funcionar *2022-09-13, version 1.12* Dejo de funcionar. Se cierra en cuanto intento abrirla. Antes era muy buena aplicación, pero ahora no hay forma de hacer que funcione ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App not opening on my iPhone 17 ProMax *2026-03-17, version 1.13* I’ve been a loyal user of this App for several years now, and loved it. Sadly, it will not open on my new iPone 17 ProMax. Please fix it. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Use it everyday *2025-01-25, version 1.13* I love this app, especially when I go out to tan. I dont have the premium version but it is still so useful. I really like how you can choose your skin tone and the time to burn from the sun adjust. ### 5/5 — Reseña *2025-01-19, version 1.13* Excelente app para cuidar mi blanca piel. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2024-06-14, version 1.13* Love this app! Super useful especially in the summer, so I know when it’s right to tan!🤣 ### 5/5 — UsmusmudUdBdIsJudd *2024-05-10* Nysmuemusmudmus ### 5/5 — Sunshine *2024-02-17, version 1.13* Having had 3 skin cancers removed (benign) we’ve started to check on UV levels and needs to coverup when levels are high. This app is very handy for this. ### 5/5 — Awesome Tool *2023-02-03, version 1.13* Such a great tool to see immediately the UV rate. Had surprised me some days were cloudy - proof how strong UV rays are ### 5/5 — Best UV app *2022-12-09, version 1.13* In my opinion, this is the best UV tracking app I’ve used until now. Easy to understand UI and updates to latest numbers frequently which helps to know real-time UV value. I also like the ‘skin’ feature as appropriate selection of skin type updates UV and vit D absorption rates. ### 5/5 — Melanoma cancer *2022-08-13, version 1.12* This app has made me realize that the UVs are just as high with a cloudy overcast as it is in full sun thank you so much ### 5/5 — Muy útil *2022-05-13, version 1.12* Esta genial para saber cómo está la radiación solar. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
