## Description

UVmeter provides a simple, retro-themed meter-style display of the current UV index for your location and an hourly forecast for almost anywhere in the world. It sources real-time ultraviolet radiation data from KNMI, NIWA, and NASA's OMI ozone datasets to help you protect your skin with practical recommendations, sunblock guidance, and burn-time estimates (UV max time).

Plan outdoor activities with confidence using location-aware UV index readings, protective equipment tips, SPF/PA guidance, and clear sun exposure timers. The user-friendly Chrome extension is designed for quick checks, supports worldwide coverage, and helps reduce UV damage while you enjoy time outside. For help, contact support@morethan.net.

## Review summary

Users like the clean, easy-to-read UV index and practical sun-safety guidance, plus automatic location updates and some Apple Watch usefulness. However, many reviews cite persistent ads, frequent crashes, and the absence of multi-location capabilities, as well as inconsistent watch integration. Overall, it's valued for daily use, but reliability and location features are uneven.

### Pros

- Easy-to-read UV index display with concise sun‑safety guidance.
- Very useful for outdoor activities and daily sun protection decisions.
- Automatically uses your current location and updates as you travel.
- Apple Watch compatibility makes it handy on the go.
- Simple, uncluttered interface that delivers core info without unnecessary clutter.

### Cons

- Intrusive ads and promotions that interrupt usage.
- Crashes on startup or when attempting to view data, causing stability issues.
- Lacks ability to view or set UV data for other locations (no multi-location support).
- Apple Watch integration is incomplete or requires updates (no complications).
