UVmeter - Check the UV index App Reviews

Doesnt work. Im not getting a uv index other than 0. Even at 2:00 in the afternoon.

Tells an accurate reading at the current time your looking at it but you dont know what it will be like at a given time so you cant plan ahead at all.

The app doesnt work at all. I want my money back.

This app is so helpful and accurate. Love it

Im in the middle of the desert in KSA and the app tells me no need for even a sunglasses, and the UV meter at 1 all the time. Something wrong.

At the time you open the app

If this app seems too good to be true, thats because it is. There is no UV sensor on the iPhone. They rely entirely on the current GPS location to then find out from some unnamed weather service what the UV Index is for that overall area. But whats worse is that you cant manually input a location to plan ahead or to specify a time of day. This means you cannot use it to help in planning for a trip or if you live in an area with micro-climates, such as the Bay Area.

I have a hard time believing that a sunny, summer day in Tampa has a 0 risk with more than an hour outside before burning. If they are willing to stand out here and show proof, Ill begin to rely on their app.

This App says the UV index is 0 at 10:15 am, but the whether App says that the UV index is 4.

A great app that gives the UV index & tell you what SPF protection lotion to be used & for how long it will protect - FAMTASTIC

Awesome

I love in Kuwait and it is 122F outside right now. I literally just got a flip-flop tan line from walking to my car from the grocery store (not exaggerating). Yet when I open the app it rates the uv level as a 1 and doesnt recommend SPF. There are no instructions for the app, so I dont know if Im supposed to be standing outside when using it, but no matter; Ill be deleting this one.

Ok first of all this app FORCES you to enable location services instead of just letting you type your location in just like the rest of the apps of the world. Is this even legal ? Secondly this app does nothing new other than pull UV info from weather data. You dont need a seperate app for that if you have a weather app that shows UV index. I cant believe this was actually a paid app.

Get the UV index AND recommendation for appropriate protection, all on one screen. Super!

The app is either not working or not accurate. Sometimes I check it early in the morning it gives me 1 then I check it again afternoon when the temperature is so hight in the summer and still gives 1. This app is useless. I downloaded it long time ago and thought it would be go with time and after update but still useless

Accurate Fast Informative Intuitive Readable Timely

The app is very handy especially in the summer. How convenient...

Spending most of my time in tropical/ Sub tropical weather its a cant live without! Always accurate.

This app does only one thing - display the UV rating at the current location, at the current moment. Cant look up other locations, no hourly forecast for the day, not even a description what the ratings mean - which other apps do. For a paid app, it needs to deliver more. Was ready to uninstall it after using it for 1 minute, too bad iOS doesnt have the option to reimburse on quick uninstall.

I would keep this if you could manually lookup the location. You have to turn location services to always on in order to even use the app. Otherwise its fine, but having an hourly chart or forecast would be better.
