### 2/5 — 经常出不来数据

*2025-06-26*

经常出不来数据

### 2/5 — Not reliable

*2025-04-23*

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

### 2/5 — Don’t be fooled

*2024-09-05*

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.

**Developer response:** 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.

### 3/5 — Okay

*2024-08-31*

I initially gave it a one star because the only thing that was working were the 30 second ads, but now, 4 hours later it appears to be working, after you first watch a 30 second ad.  Not sure I’ll be using this very much just to get what I can get commercial free from just about any other weather app.

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

### 4/5 — Improvement Needed

*2022-07-20*

This is a good app but no notifications setting which would be useful when out and about if level changes in your location

### 3/5 — Uv meter

*2022-02-14*

It appears to work fine, but it is the only one I can judge, but necessary to assist my wife's condition by. She is allergic to sunlight.

### 4/5 — ほんとに合ってる？と思うこともある

*2020-09-09*

が、概ね良いと思います。

### 4/5 — Crashes here too but started working. Good app.

*2020-08-27*

Was just reviewing the the other app from developer. Here also it crashes immediately after opening the app. Of course the location is turned on. May have to see after the reboot of the iPad.

Now works well so 4 star.

### 4/5 — Mr

*2020-08-27*

It will be very nice, if could be merge with temperature, barometre and hydrometer app!

### 3/5 — お願い

*2020-08-27*

今現在、どの位の紫外線か？
実際に、太陽光を当てて、紫外線をどの位あびたか？その都度、計量してくれると、日焼け好きな私は、有難い。。
こんだけ浴びたら、このくらい焼けちゃうよみたいな計測が出来るアプリが欲しい

### 3/5 — こちらの料金

*2020-03-09*

こちらの120円の料金は月額ですか？
それとも一度払えば次の次から
払わなくてもいいものですか？

### 4/5 — One-trick pony, but does that one well

*2019-12-23*

Elegant, helpful information about UV index and recommended precautions for current location. A+. However, lacks ability to check for any other locations. This prevents me from using this app to guide packing for a vacation, for example. This is a deal-breaker for me, but only taking off one star since they don’t claim to do anything beyond current location.

### 4/5 — Love it, but...

*2019-11-07*

I love this app, I just wish it would let you write locations that you would like to see the UV meter.

### 3/5 — 出るようになった

*2019-08-11*

前入れた時は指数いつ見ても指数ゼロだったのでもう消してました。
今年8月にアプリ評価見て入れなおしたら指数出るようになってました。もう諦めてましたが良かったです。

### 1/5 — Werbung?

*2025-05-13*

Plötzlich mit Werbung? Nope!

### 1/5 — Schaltet AfD Werbung

*2025-04-27*

Werbung für eine faschistische Partei? Für mich völlig inakzeptabel.

### 1/5 — Not functioning for FL

*2024-09-01*

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!

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

### 1/5 — 广告太多

*2024-08-31*

自己的本职功能太弱

**Developer response:** 一个意想不到的bug极大地损害了用户体验。我们已紧急更新并修复了该问题，我们将继续提供支持。

### 1/5 — Barometer not working

*2024-08-30*

Crashes when I try to check the barometer

**Developer response:** We are very sorry for the inconvenience. We have submitted an update to fix app crashes and improve stability. Also, please note that this app displays UV index, not barometric pressure.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2021-07-09*

Crashes on startup

### 1/5 — 信用できません、、

*2020-06-16*

雨の日でも曇りの日でも晴れの日でも同じ時間ならば変わりません。
時間でUV指数を設定してる気がします。

### 1/5 — 課金したのに

*2020-06-13*

他のサイトと比較していますが、他社がレベル1でもこのサイトはメーター振り切っていて当てにならない。

### 1/5 — 天气预报的接口，不要下载！

*2019-11-30*

自带天气预报软件或者随便找个天气预报app，里面都有紫外线系数。。。。。

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2019-08-06*

Does nothing but crash upon opening..   worthless..

### 5/5 — Best UV index app

*2026-07-05*

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.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using the app for so many years! We’re glad it gives you exactly what you need and keeps checking the UV index simple. We really appreciate your support.

### 5/5 — Kindly add the Widgets on ios app please

*2025-09-24*

Kindly add the Widgets please 🙏

### 5/5 — Helps Us Safely Prepare for Yard Work

*2024-09-01*

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.

### 5/5 — 깔끔하고 좋아요

*2022-07-01*

굿굿

### 5/5 — Útil

*2022-06-24*

Muito útil no que ele promete. Assim eu decido se preciso ou não de Protetor Solar

### 5/5 — 유용하게 잘써요

*2021-08-20*

쓰잘데기없는 기능없이 들어가면 바로 지수 떠서 편해요

### 5/5 — Super App

*2020-06-04*

Schnell und praktisch....finde ich super

### 5/5 — 助かってます！

*2019-08-09*

去年の夏から日光アレルギーになってしまって対策を取る為に毎日の紫外線指数が乗ったアプリを探してました、あまり紫外線指数がのったアプリがないので、とても助かってます！

### 5/5 — Works good

*2019-08-06*

I have another one so i can compare the 2 UV apps and so far it works okay. 
The only downside is that i can’t chose the location and it finds me in a farther away city.

### 5/5 — Love it.

*2019-08-06*

Can u integrate this app into “Thermo-hygro “ so all data is in one app rather then 2 apps? 

I have Thermo-hygro as well made by u guys. It’s awesome app. But integrated with his would be icing on the cake.
