UVmeter - Check the UV index App Reviews

Works

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!

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.

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.

Crashes when I try to check the barometer

Crashes on startup

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

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.

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

Does nothing but crash upon opening.. worthless..

Beautiful design. Haven't tried to confirm its accuracy.

When I try open App it does makes effort and blink with opening ., and momentarily shuts down.., Its really a blink ., and I can even see half a front page then .. English goodbay., is finding myself at page with other apps., Can you please check it out ...:(. ??? Please ??! Best .....

Works great. Handy on the Apple Watch especially in the Summer on the boat

This is NOT a UV meter. It uses local weather reports to give readings. I want my 99 cents back.

2 only level which is safe outside? But in other uv apps says it is 5.2 level which need protection at passed 3pm clear sky here in los angeles and sunny hot.

The one useful feature for the Apple Watch would have been to show the UV level as a complication but this app doesn’t do that. Also every time I start the app on the watch it says the app needs to be updated.

App won’t work with my Apple Watch. Please update! Love it on my phone but need it on my watch.

I'd give it 5 star but you can't program location to view UV Index in other areas.

I can't tell if it has the right location because it doesn't say the name of my city. It just lists it as Arlington station. What is that? It should be able to change location but you cannot.

Just like weather apps

Installed on my iPhone 6 Plus. First it stated it couldn't connect with server, which I don't know why it needs to. Rebooted my phone and now meter just sits at zero. Am I doing something wrong? There are no controls and where and the pull down thing doesn't do anything. Update: Got it to work and thought it was metering okay. It first read 2, then I held it to my reptile UVmeter light and it read 4. Now it reads 4 in a totally dark closet after refreshing several times, argh!!!!!

See title. Not worth the .99 IMHO.

If you need good, accurate and updated information about the UV index in the place you stay, this app is the one you need. Easy to read on a meter, no clustered useless information, but just what you need. Six months ago I wrote a review complaining about the information not being updated automatically, but the developer has really listened, so the app is now a must-have earning five stars. Having sensitive skin and living in a place with a lot of sun I use it every day(easy to just tap the app on the Apple Watch). When I am travelling it automatically gives the information on current location. Thank you and keep up the good work!

Tells me what I want to know without wading thru junk or ads

Yup.

This is a very simple and easy to use app that does what it is supposed to do. I hike a lot and use this app on a regular basis. Love it.

Looks gray but definitely needs the ability to change location. First, if the location is off (i.e. my work location incorrectly lists the next city over), you should be able to set it to the correct city. Second, if you're planning a trip to go somewhere for a day activity, it would be nice to see what the other location shows.

Not bad. But would be nice to see more info

Good app, fast, has refresh. But needs to be able to back track to an earlier time that day to see what the UV was throughout the day. Maybe make a meter movable to coincide with time. That's all the improvement I would make!

This app delivers 100% of what it promises in an easy-to-read GUI. It would be nice to have multiple locations, like in Apple's Clock app, but it does what it promises in an efficient manner.

When my kids say they don't 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.

Use it everyday

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

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

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.

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.

아이폰 4s 사용자 차별하나요? 저도 아이폰 6 사용하고 싶다고요..단통법 때문에 사용하지 못하는데 아이폰 6 사용자만 지원하는게 말이 되는거에요 아이폰4s 사용자도 사용할수 있게해주세요...잘되다가 안되잖아요..ㅠㅠ

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.

please optimised for iPhone 6.

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 wouldn't 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 wouldn't really recommend purchasing it though unless you thought you needed too because if you don't live somewhere sunny its a waste of money.

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.

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 it's fine, but having an hourly chart or forecast would be better.

This app does only one thing - display the UV rating at the current location, at the current moment. Can't 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 doesn't have the option to reimburse on quick uninstall.

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

Accurate Fast Informative Intuitive Readable Timely

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

Works

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

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 don't need a seperate app for that if you have a weather app that shows UV index. I can't believe this was actually a paid app.

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 doesn't recommend SPF. There are no instructions for the app, so I don't know if I'm supposed to be standing outside when using it, but no matter; I'll be deleting this one.
