Review summary

Users praise UV Index: SunWise for location-based UV data that helps plan tanning and avoid burns, and for being easy to use. A common downside is the paywall: many features are locked behind Pro, with the free version feeling limited. Some want more free functionality (e.g., tanning logs). Occasional notification bugs are reported. Overall, strong value for tanning planning, but paid features and occasional bugs are the main drawbacks.

Pros

Location-based UV index helps plan tanning and avoid sunburn.
Easy to use and user-friendly interface.
Generally reliable/accurate UV data for tanning decisions.
Helpful for tracking sun exposure and scheduling time outdoors.
Convenient access to UV information at a glance.

Cons

Paywall: many features are behind Pro; free version is limited.
Widget and key functionality require Pro, making it feel paywalled.
Free version feels like a weather app due to limited free features.
Notification bugs where alerts pause unexpectedly.

2026-08-14	de*****	After my wife and kids got pretty bad sunburns during an away vacation. I realized that the weather apps weren’t helping us with localized UV readings. I love the functionality and customization options for each skin type. My family and I all have the app downloaded

2026-06-27	Mi*****	Unfortunately the widgets don’t update on my iPhone 16. Even when i click on the widget and open the app, the widget data still doesn’t update. Unfortunately this makes this app useless to me. 😕
