Global UV and sun safety

Features & Capabilities

Protect yourself when the UV is at damaging levels with the SunSmart Global UV app.

Powered by world leading health, radiation and weather organisations, the app provides worldwide UV levels and clear guidance as to when sun protection is and is not required.

Travelling and spending time outdoors is one of life’s great joys. Knowing when sun protection is recommended wherever you are in the world gives you confidence to enjoy the sun safely, minimizing the risk of skin damage which can lead to cancer.

The SunSmart Global UV app takes the guesswork out of being safe in the sun with daily sun protection times sent to your phone along with simple advice for protecting your skin.

What are sun protection times? Sun protection times are linked to the UV Index and are advised when the UV is forecast to be 3 and above. This is consistent with the WHO UV Index guidance and has been determined as the level at which damage to the skin is likely to occur more quickly.

The app will advise you that sun protection is required during specific times when the UV is forecast to be 3 and above so that you can adequately protect your skin.

How is it different to other UV apps? The UV app has the backing of world-leading health and meteorological organisations making it a trusted and reliable source of advice.

Unlike other apps, the SunSmart Global UV app is designed to simply inform users when sun protection is required and when it is not.

What are the key features?

Daily UV levels for the local area including sun protection times
5-day forecast including UV and weather forecast
Access to the forecast UV and sun protection times anywhere in the world

If you had asked me a year ago I would have rated this app a 10/10. I use it in my hometown and traveling to places like Hawaii and Mexico. But after my last trip the app got stuck notifying me of UV ranges in Mexico and not rainy Washington. So I finally deleted and reinstalled it a couple weeks ago. Now it won’t let me choose ANY Washington State city other than “Washington, Washington”. Which either is referring to the whole state or a city that doesn’t exist. This has made the app unusable for me.

Hi, I know you’re well aware of the temperature discrepancies of the app. I understand how to figure between F and C and I honestly don’t need the temp feature because I can look at a thermometer and see. But! here’s the interesting part about the problem people are having: if I set the app to Fahrenheit, it gives me the temperature in Celsius. If I set the app to Celsius, it subtracts down from the “Fahrenheit” (which is actually Celsius). If for example the actual temperature in Iowa is 32° Fahrenheit, this app will tell me the temperature is 0° F… and if I go to settings and I switch it to Celsius, this app is going to report -32° … so that makes me wonder where it’s getting the information from. It knows how to figure Celsius based on Fahrenheit, but it is pulling the C from the weather data and plugging C into the F spot. Also does UV calculating have anything to do with the temp? Why not just remove that feature? Or do I need to connect it to the “live” information… In which case that isn’t explained well in the app. It tells information about “live” UV and weather but not how to connect. Maybe this really only works in Australia? Americans, for what it’s worth, the weather apps will always provide the UV index and whatever other information we need stormwise. But if it really does work in Australia then good job!
