Ratings and reviews

Useful survey for skin type. But not indicate solar angle more than 50° which outside winter months gives optimal UVB exposure. Only ask coarse location Also, Sun exposure not ideal vitamin D3 medium. Supps seem cheap lately. Ads.

Simple but great! Would love to see a built in reminder timer in the future.

Useful to see how dangerous the sun can be for you on a particular day. You can see how soon you will burn without sun cream, and how each sun cream SPF increases the time of safe sun exposure. All calculations are done using the peak UV Index value for the day. But would be useful if you could manually set the UV Index [to know safe duration for different times of the day]. App is basic, but useful. Ads are not intrusive. It would be really nice if it had a widget. Large phone font is a problem
