Not reliable

Not very good, thick cloud, pouring with rain and says moderate UV 5.4!

Don’t be fooled

Ok, this app does provide the UV info. But it has more ads in it and more links to download other apps than it helps. I’ve got this app for free from AppAdvice Daily. I hope you don’t pay for this ad app. I gave 2 stars for it provides the UV info.

Response from developer

UVmeter has been made free starting from version 2.0 to ensure continuous support. Ads have been added as naturally as possible without compromising the user experience, and new features will also be added. We will meet you with a better app.

Not functioning for FL

Tried it out and nothing would showed up except for a banner to watch an add to switch to retro version - but still no data!

Response from developer

An unexpected bug greatly harmed the user experience. We have urgently updated and fixed the issue and we will continue to provide support.

Helps Us Safely Prepare for Yard Work

During March to November, my loving wife and I are outdoors gardening on our three acres more than we are indoors. This app helps us decide what protection we need. We rely on it daily.
