About this app

UV Index does one thing, and does it well: it tells you how strong the sun is right now, where you are.

No accounts. No onboarding. No tips popping up while you're trying to read a number. You open the app, the screen colours itself to the UV level, and you get on with your day.

What you get

• The current UV index as one clear number, with the background colour telling you the level at a glance — blue for low, through to deep purple for extreme. • Plain, practical advice for each level, in the spirit of Slip, Slop, Slap. • An hourly forecast for today and tomorrow, so you can plan the walk, the beach, or the garden around the harsh part of the day. • Skin-type personalisation (Fitzpatrick I–VI): set yours once and the advice shifts to suit you. • An optional daily reminder at a time you choose. Off by default — we won't nag you.

Built for Australia

UV here is not a northern-hemisphere afterthought. An "extreme" reading is a normal summer afternoon in Queensland, and the app treats it that way — useful and matter-of-fact, never alarmist.

Quietly respectful

No tracking. No data sales. Your location goes straight to the weather service to fetch the forecast and nowhere else — we run no servers and collect nothing. Free with a single unobtrusive banner; one small one-time purchase removes it forever. No subscriptions, ever.

UV data by WeatherAPI.com. Sun-protection guidance follows the WHO/ARPANSA UV scale. UV Index is an informational tool, not medical advice.
The UV index for where you are — calm, accurate, and free of clutter.

What’s new

Fixes the app getting stuck on an old reading with an endless refresh spinner when your phone's location was slow to answer. If a fresh fix can't be found the app now falls back to your last known spot.
