Tanning Timer
Read full descriptionHide full description
Know exactly how long you can tan before you burn. Get Tan turns the live UV index into a safe, personalized exposure timer built around your skin type โ so you build a real tan instead of a sunburn. Most weather apps show you a UV number and leave you guessing. Get Tan does the math for you: it pulls the live UV forecast for your location, factors in your Fitzpatrick skin type and the SPF you're wearing, and gives you an exact safe-exposure time. Then it runs a guided session timer that tells you when to flip and when to reapply sunscreen. WHAT YOU GET - A precise safe-exposure time calculated from live UV, your skin type, and your SPF - A guided tanning timer with flip prompts and sunscreen-reapply reminders - Live UV index forecast for your location โ current level plus hourly and 7-day outlook - A skin-type assessment with an optional live camera skin-tone scan - Progress photos with a before/after slider so you can actually see your tan build - Full history, UV-exposure charts, streaks, and achievements to keep you consistent PERFECT FOR - Beachgoers and poolside tanners who want color without the burn - Fair-skinned people who need a hard stop before UV damage sets in - Anyone chasing a steady, even tan on a weekly schedule - Outdoor athletes and gardeners tracking daily sun exposure WHY NOT JUST CHECK THE WEATHER APP? A weather app gives you one raw UV number. It doesn't know your skin type, it doesn't account for your SPF, and it can't time your session or remind you to flip and reapply. Get Tan turns that number into a decision โ how long, right now, for you. PRIVACY Your photos, sessions, and skin profile stay on your device. Location is used only to fetch your local UV forecast. No account required. FULL ACCESS Get Tan Premium unlocks the Smart Plan weekly schedule, unlimited progress photos with the before/after slider, live camera skin scan, full statistics and UV-exposure charts, in-session flip and sunscreen reminders, history export, and achievements. Available as a weekly or yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends; manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings. Download Get Tan and start your next session with a number you can trust.
