## Description

UV Shield allows you to see the UV index and forecast in real-time at your location or a searchable location to know what the intensity of the sun is now and is forecasted to be. Set alarms or reminders for sun exposure limits and reapplying sunscreen to try and stay safe all day long. Even send your family members reminders about how intense the sun is even when they are not in the same place, simply search for that location and go to the family tab to send a kind reminder to seek shade or reapply sunscreen to keep the whole family aware!
