UV dose & vitamin D tracker

Features & Capabilities

Sola is your personal pocket sun-nerd. It tracks your real UV dose over time—not just the current index—so you know when to tan, protect, or seek shade. Using current UV forecasts, your skin type, any existing tan, past exposure, sunscreen SPF, and even whether you flip or roast, Sola builds a smarter exposure profile and estimates vitamin D production. Auto-tracking with Apple Watch (Time in Daylight) means it can detect when you step outside without opening the app, and on-device widgets and Live Activities keep you updated on the wrist or Lock Screen.

It integrates with Apple Health for richer data, provides reminders to reapply sunscreen, flip for an even tan, and seek shade before UV spikes, and alerts when your chosen UV threshold is reached. The app emphasizes readability in bright sunlight with high-contrast themes, offers a free tier with a 3-day trial for full features, and then annual or lifetime purchase options.

User Reviews

Users praise Sola for strong health integration (Apple Health/Watch), robust sun-exposure planning, vitamin D tracking, and ease of use, with many noting long-term reliability and helpful developer support. The most recurring concern is pricing: a shift from one-time purchases to subscriptions, with notable price hikes and concerns about value. Overall, the app is highly regarded by those who want a health-focused sun-exposure tool, but some are deterred by ongoing costs.

Pros

Apple Health sync and Apple Watch compatibility with widgets for quick access
Comprehensive sun-exposure planning: UV index-based timing, tan timer, skin type, exposed skin, and safety notifications
Vitamin D tracking and rich data/graphs
Easy to use with a responsive, supportive developer and frequent updates
Long-term reliability and usefulness for preventing overexposure and monitoring health

Cons

Pricing and licensing changes: ongoing subscriptions required to access features, price hikes, and past lifetime licenses devalued

I use this app to track the sun exposure for the family in outdoor activities. Reminders to apply sunscreen and vitamin D tracker is great. Maybe not what the app was intended for, as I get so bored sunbathing. The only thing I would add is a family tracker, so I can input the skin type of family members, so we know what exposure other family members that are maybe not old enough to have a phone. Will try the app for beach days in the near future! I have high hopes.

I am a v pale girlie. Living in Vegas I was tired of being the palest person I saw anywhere. I used to spray tan weekly but it was messy and got expensive fast. I happened upon this app while looking up tanning tricks on Reddit. Since using it I am - no joke - 2 shades darker. I have only used it 3 times. I decided to splurge and get the paid subscription. It’s worth it to me because I can add in flips with timers. I connect my phone to my speaker for music and the timer goes off through that. All in all, great app. I am getting tan without becoming sunburned.

I didn’t expect to use this app this often, but it’s honestly become part of my routine now. The design is clean and easy to understand, and I really like how it tells me when it’s a good time to be outside and when I should be more careful with sun exposure. The reminders feel helpful instead of annoying, and everything just works smoothly. You can tell a lot of thought went into the experience. Definitely one of the better health/lifestyle apps I’ve tried recently.
