UVmeter - Check the UV index App Reviews

Having skin cancer I can not go out in the open areas under the sun without protection. This little app informs in seconds what safety cover I need to go outside. Love it.

Although this app seemed to me like a bit of a tall tale, I have come to enjoy it. The idea is amazing, but being able to see other locations UV would be a nice added feature. Overall, if you wouldnt use it everyday or if you had a skin condition or lived somewhere like I do in the tropical zone, this app would not really be necessary. I hope to see future apps like this one with better added features and upgrades. Good app needs improvements. I wouldnt really recommend purchasing it though unless you thought you needed too because if you dont live somewhere sunny its a waste of money.

please optimised for iPhone 6.

This app and the other apps in this series are good for your present location only. There are simple and accurate, providing basic info. I only gave it 4 stars because I feel the UV app should be included with the Thermometer/Hydrometer app rather than a stand alone.

This app displays the current UV index at the moment. No hourly forecast, no daily forecast (would really like a forecast for tomorrow). Please update with that functionality.

Beautiful design. Havent tried to confirm its accuracy.

This app basically checks the time and tells you what the weather service says for UV as a general rule for that time. Total waste.

It does indeed tell you the UV index for your current location and looks nice while doing it. This most recent update says theres a watch app however when I go to the watch app to install, its not there. This is the reason for only 2 stars. Also, it would be nice to be able to add multiple locations.

If you go outside you should be aware of UVs. This app will give you the 411 on UVs. Now with a Watch App!

Use it everyday

When my kids say they dont want to apply sunscreen or wear a swim shirt I tell them to use this app to check the UV index. If below 3 and experts say OK for no sun protection then we can skip the sunscreen. Otherwise they need to follow the guidelines or stay out of the sun. Saves arguments and teaching them some science.

Well built app with exactly the information you need. Great on the Apple Watch with a clear meter-like appearance. All well and good, but the whole setup is worth absolutely nothing if the information is not updated. What does it help you to know what the UV was 3 hours ago? Nothing! You need to look at the meter to tell you how the UV is in this very moment. First, the app does not update on the watch, if you tap refresh. You must update the app on the phone first. What do you then need the app on the watch for? Even if you let the app on the phone refresh, the information is old (the app tells the time of status). Also, it looks as if the UV shown is lower than the actual one, if you compare with the official weather information. I hope it can be fixed, so we can actually use the app.
