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!
The best app for your skin health
This is a little jewel in a sea of weather apps.
I used to get confused (or not get it at all) with the UV index in weather apps. What do those numbers actually mean for my skin type. Is a 7 good, bad, too high? Fortunately I discovered this app and after all these years it is still my to go app every time I go out into the sun.
The app is very intuitive and well organized but above all very simple and straight to the point.
It lets you know when you will be more exposed to UV light during the day and when it is safe to go out considering your skin type. You can add the kind of sunscreen you use (SPF 30,50, water resistant etc) so it can remind you when it's time to reapply it given the UV conditions.
If your skin is very sensitive to sunlight, tends to burn easily or you just want to take care of your skin this is the app for you.
Did I mention you can create your own little avatar to personalize your experience in the app? UV lens is a must have. It's more than just a weather app it's an app for your health and that of your skin.

Welcome Back!
Yay! UVLens is back. I love the simple, insightful UI. My only request is that you add a half sized widget as well.
Really nice update
Great to see the app updated! Beautiful new UI and thanks for bringing the widget back.
Bring it back the widget
😢 So sad the widget option is gone. I used to have it on my Home Screen. All I had to do was to have a quick glance at it before going out. Please bring the widget back. This app is simple but incredibly useful, straight to the point if you just want to know if you are safe outdoors. It also has a nice display with the information of the whole day by hours so you can be prepared at all times.

Response from developer
Hi there, we have brought the widget back! Thanks your for your continued support.
Love this app
Only uv app you’ll ever need.
Please fix widget
Widget not longer works/an option…why?
Brilliant
Absolutely brilliant app, I know I can burn when the uv is at 2 flames and the personalised skin profile warns me when to apply sunscreen. The only app and uv information I follow and have followed since 2021, I work in a nursery and use this information to keep the children safe when playing in the sun, I swear by it constantly 🙂

The best app for UV levels!
Can’t recommend a better app, it’s so easy to use and so clear.
Still loving this app years on, I wish it was better advertised as it’d be so great to be used more widely.

Clutch App
I rely so heavily on this app and it has never let me down. There are features that could make it better, and it’s occasionally clunky, but I’ve never been burned since I started using this app a few years ago. This app is often at odds with the Apple Weather app, and, based on personal experience, I’m inclined to believe this app is more insightful.

I used to love this but has stopped working!
I loved this app. Used it al of last summer to
Keep on top of my skin and make sure I am not burning. Have turned to use it this year and no matter what I do it doesn’t load. It so upsetting because it was so good! Having to look elsewhere now

App not working saying problem with the server
App is not working properly tried closing the app and starting again and still the game problem.
the best i’ve seen
nothing behind paywall which is great but would be better with notifications and/or widgets then it would be perfect
Very helpful!
I’ve used this for years. It helps me get vitamin D without a sunburn. I find it to be reliable for my skin type. It would be great if it could forecast the burn time like it used to, but it’s still of value to me.
Excellent
Really handy app, easy to use, clever and informative. Five star all the way. Much prefer this to the UV index widget app by far. 👍👍👍
Brilliant
So many apps don’t *quite* work but this one is perfect. So easy to see what I should do re: sun protection. Love that is tailored to my personal skin type, hair colour etc., as well as my location (which updates automatically when I travel!). AAA+++
Please add home screen widget for IOS 16
I love this app and use it everyday. It's well designed, easy to use, and aesthetically pleasing - which is why I continue to use it over the competitors. I would love if a future update included the ability to add a small widget to my home screen so I could see my burn time at all times! That would be a feature I'd rave about to all of my friends. Thanks for making a useful app that actually does a public service! I appreciate you.

Inaccurate data? No protection forecasts
The current UV index is consistently lower than other sources I’ve used, eg the native Weather app, and the app doesn’t disclose the source of its data. There’s a protection forecast based on a customized avatar, but it only works on the current UV index; you can see what the UV index will be later in the day, but you can’t make the protection forecast show how long you’ll be protected based on that future UV index. Lastly, there’s no widget, which, if the data were more accurate, would make checking much more convenient.

DESPERATELY NEEDS UPDATE!
UPDATE ***PLEASE DEVELOPERS** PLEASE PLEASE UPDATE THE APP!!! I’m willing to pay up to $2.99 for this app exactly as it is/was! I really need this to be updated.
*Original review*
I absolutely love this app and have used it daily for many summers. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in tracking the UV index hourly or daily! I’d like to point out to the developers the key things I love the most so they won’t change them. Please keep these important attributes! ❤️Pros: ❤️*No pop-ups when I open the app ❤️*No location services required. I love being able to input my own chosen location. ❤️*All the information is on the first page when I open it. All I have to do is open the app and I can take a quick peek and everything is right there! An app of this sort should not be time consuming. ❤️*The widget. What a great idea! 😡Cons: 😉None that I can think of! 😀👍🏽 SIDE NOTE: I’d like to add that I have no association with this app or app owner. I found this app by doing a search for “UV index” a couple years ago and I’m glad I found it!
