## Review summary

Users appreciate the app's clean design, useful UV forecasts, and customization options like skin type and SPF settings. However, multiple reviews highlight inaccuracies in UV index data and a lack of ability to input locations manually, forcing reliance on location services. The absence of home screen widgets and audible notifications is noted as a downside, along with app crashes during forecast viewing. Additionally, the bright UI without OLED or dark mode support causes discomfort for some users.

### Pros

- User-friendly and sleek interface with no ads
- Useful UV forecast graphs and sun exposure timer
- Ability to define skin type and SPF factor to tailor calculations
- Includes past and future UV and temperature data
- App is free and runs without excessive ads

### Cons

- UV index values often inaccurate or inconsistent compared to other apps
- App requires constant enabling of location services and can't manually enter or forecast for other locations
- Lacks home screen widgets and notifications with audible alerts
- App crashes or force closes when viewing certain forecast sections
- No support for OLED/dark mode leading to bright, eye-burning UI
