UVmeter - Check UV Index Reviews

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

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 .....

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

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

Crashes on startup

Does nothing but crash upon opening.. worthless..

Although UVmeter 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, UVmeter 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.

If you need good, accurate and updated information about the UV index in the place you stay, UVmeter 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 UVmeter 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 UVmeter on the Apple Watch). When I am travelling it automatically gives the information on current location. Thank you and keep up the good work!

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!

If UVmeter seems too good to be true, that's because it is. There is no UV sensor on the iPhone. They rely entirely on the current GPS location to then find out from some unnamed weather service what the UV Index is for that overall area.
But what's worse is that you can't manually input a location to plan ahead or to specify a time of day. This means you cannot use it to help in planning for a trip or if you live in an area with micro-climates, such as the Bay Area.

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.

When my kids say they don't want to apply sunscreen or wear a swim shirt I tell them to use UVmeter 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.

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 this app light and it read 4. Now it reads 4 in a totally dark closet after refreshing several times, argh!!!!!

UVmeter 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.

Tells an accurate reading at the current time your looking at it but you don't know what it will be like at a given time so you can't plan ahead at all.

UVmeter 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.

Ok first of all UVmeter 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 UVmeter 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 would keep this if you could manually lookup the location. You have to turn location services to always on in order to even use UVmeter . Otherwise it's fine, but having an hourly chart or forecast would be better.

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.

It's an amazing app; it gives accurate readings, and gives you suggestions on how to protect yourself from the sun.
