EPA's SunWise UV Index

US Environmental Protection Agency

About this app

The UV Index provides a daily and hourly forecast of the expected intensity of ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun. Some exposure to sunlight is enjoyable. However, too much sun can be dangerous. Overexposure to the sun's ultraviolet radiation can cause immediate damage, such as sunburn, and long-term problems, such as skin cancer and cataracts.

Ratings and reviews

Installed it on 6/8/23. The app is functional in that it gives the UV forecast for my area, but the daily maps are not updating. Still shows the first 4 days from when I downloaded it, while the headers above the maps are updating. For example today (6/14) the blue header above the map shows Wednesday June 14 but the actual map is still from 6/8 per the header on the actual map image. Verified from the actual EPA website that the maps themselves are not updating.

I use this app daily it's very simple and easy to use. the only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5 on the daily map for the state that you live in, should be outlined with bold borders around the state that you're in, since it's very hard to see the state you're in due to all of the colors that makes it hard to see. I only have to enter my zip code once and now when I pull up the app that automatically knows my location

Love it !! Been using it for years now. I use the hourly forecast the most. Location works well just gotta press the botton. Gotta have good GPS. Galaxy S9 here The daily map is missing Hawaii and Alaska. Would be nice to be able to pan in and out on the map. Also have it change by time like the doppler radar. Would be nice.
