Actually good

I see some of the old reviewers had problems, I think the developer must have fixed them since then. The app works for me and it’s useful

Best UV index app

This is the one you need, if you want to open an app and check the current UV index where you are. Used it for years and keep coming back. Dead simple. Exactly what I want.

FAQ

What does UVmeter do?

UVmeter provides real-time UV index readings and hourly forecasts for your current location and almost anywhere globally. It helps you understand UV exposure levels and offers advice on how to protect your skin.

What kind of protection information does the app offer?

The app offers recommendations for protection based on the UV index, including information on required protective equipment and details about sunblock (SPF, PA). It also estimates sunburn times and identifies the UV MAX time.

Is UVmeter free to use?

Yes, UVmeter is free to use. The application is supported by advertisements, which allow it to be offered to users without charge.

What is the UV index and why is it important?

The UV index measures the intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. High UV levels can cause sunburn, premature skin aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer. Monitoring the UV index helps you take appropriate precautions.

Where does the UV data come from?

The UV index evaluation in UVmeter is based on publications from reputable meteorological institutions like The Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) and The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) of New Zealand. It also utilizes near-real-time Ozone datasets from NASA's OMI, AURA Satellite.
