What's New in UVLens

3.15.0

October 14, 2026

Save your favourite places and switch between them quickly, or let UVLens follow your current location. A new About UV screen explains what the UV index means, and a quick guide shows how to use the dial. Burn times are also clearer and more helpful, especially when UV is low. In case you missed the last update: Home and My Skin have a fresh design, the flame scale is back, and the widgets are redesigned.

Smaller widget design?

I’m super happy with the app overall, and I check the widget throughout the day. I do think there could be an option for a smaller widget that fits in a smaller square, maybe with just a color and a number and the location, and less text.

Great app for sun exposure

Love this app! I have been using it for a few years now and never get burnt when following its recommendations (and I burn very easily). Just hoping for and Apple Watch version soon!

Harika

Bildirim olarak değil alarm olarak gelse daha harika olacak. Birde hep 2 saat saati kendimiz seçebilsekte güzel olur
