UV Index Widget - Worldwide
Description
UV Index Widget - Worldwide brings one of the most useful pieces of weather data, the UV Index, front and center. Use this app to track your UV exposure, help plan your day outside, and avoid burning. Perfect for planning your tanning routine. UV Index Widget - Worldwide is a convenient app that lets you monitor the Sun’s radiation levels anywhere on Earth. It shows the current UV Index, today’s peak forecast, and a 7-day UV forecast. You can add the UV Index to your Home Screen via widgets, receive alerts when UV Index reaches specific levels, and automatically log the data to your Apple Health app. The app instantly displays your current UV Index (UVI) in an easy-to-understand format. Just tap and hold to view today's highest UVI reading. You can also check the sunrise and sunset times, along with the moment when the UV Index peaks. 7-day hour-by-hour forecast: The Forecast tab provides an hour-by-hour UVI prediction for the next 7 days. My Skin: In the My Skin section, select your skin type for tailored safety tips and recommendations. You can also monitor your sun exposure and receive alerts when there’s a high risk of sunburn. Additionally, the app tracks your Vitamin D production from sunlight and automatically syncs the data to your Apple Health app. Places: In the Places tab, you can select any location around the world to see its current UV radiation and a 7-day forecast. It's a great tool for checking the UV levels at your travel destination before you head out. Widget: The app offers a variety of Home Screen widgets and Lock Screen Widgets, designed for both your iPhone and Apple Watch. Choose from multiple options to customize your experience on the Home Screen, Today view and Apple Watch. Notifications: The app alerts you when the UV Index exceeds your specified threshold, sending a notification whenever your area's UV levels surpass that mark. It also warns you when you're at high risk of sunburn and reminds you to reapply sunscreen. Apple Health app: The app automatically logs your location's hourly UV Index and the vitamin D generated from sun exposure into the Apple Health app. Open Apple Health to review your UV exposure history and vitamin D data. Apple Watch: Monitor the UV Index directly from your watch. Tap and hold to view today's peak UVI, just like in the iOS app. The watch app also features a My Skin section and a 7-day hourly forecast. Additionally, you can always check the UVI right on your favorite watch face using the included UVI complications. The app will work anywhere in the world, and is a perfect companion whether you are at home or travelling. --- Information about UV Index Widget - Worldwide subscription: -At confirmation of purchase, or following the completion of a free-trial period, payment will be charged to your iTunes account. - Yearly subscriptions are available. - Payment will be charged to your iTunes account at confirmation of purchase. - Your subscription will automatically renew unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current subscription period. - Your account will be charged for renewal within 24-hours prior to the end of the current subscription period.

User Reviews
It was really accurate
I spend a lot of time outdoors, it’s very helpful to know when I need to reapply my sunscreen or when I’m at risk to burn.
I want to get tan before I go to the beach and this helps me do just that 5 stars
I downloaded this on my 9 y/o son’s phone that is locked down and there was inappropriate photos of a little girl. It mad me so sick. I hope her parents can see it and press charges. I deleted this app immediately.
This App requires fees for almost everything!👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
I’m not paying a re curing payment for this thing, just mad it one and done
been using it for about maybe 2 years and you really get a lot without even paying. I also love the widget which is also free. and tbh I feel like it shows you more detail than apple weather app and it’s also pretty accurate I think! and yes this is not a bot i genuinely like this app and i never write reviews. would recommend!!
The fact that it only shows updated UV at the top of every hour now is disappointing and has made me stop using the app after years. Also don’t like how the update only shows whole numbers at each hour instead of decimals. I used to love the ability to see the uv at every time of the hour
Melanoma survivor. One of the most valuable aspects of the app to me was the ability to forecast UV index between hours to know when it would go above 2.0 (my self imposed limit). Now it only shows changes on the hour. Was the former time precision nonsense, or is the forecast now less precise for another reason?
I live in Florida and spend a lot of time outside. The widget is super handy so I can open my phone and see anytime what the UV index is on the home screen
I want to buy the PRO version "Lifetime", but it's too expensive in Japanese yen.
The UV reading in the widget seems to be fixed rather than allowing for the change in the sun’s position. “Risk of sunburn in xxx minutes” is therefore not dynamic. If you could fix this the app would be close to perfect.
