Review summary

Users appreciate the app's simple and useful UV index functionality along with its widget. However, many are frustrated that the app defaults to Spanish with no easy way to switch to English, making navigation difficult. Additionally, the limited city coverage means the app often shows UV data from far away locations rather than the user's actual area. Several users also note the app consumes excessive battery power, reducing its overall usability.

Pros

Simple and useful concept for a UV index app.
Includes a widget that users find convenient.

Cons

App defaults to Spanish with no clear option to change to English, confusing non-Spanish speakers.
Small and incomplete city coverage, missing many locations especially in the U.S.
Does not provide UV index for user's actual location but for a distant city.
High battery usage, with the app consuming significantly more battery than the device screen.

2014-06-16	A *****	This seems to be a very good idea for an app. However, I live in Georgia and the nearest city on the app is New Orleans, LOL. At the very least you can include Atlanta, Georgia. How are we not on your map?

2013-11-06	A *****	The app does as you would expect and I like the simple widget but over the course of a day it accounted for 68% of my battery usage. For context my screen had used 10%. For that kind of drain it just isn't worth it.
