Description
UV Index Widget - Worldwide brings one of the most useful pieces of weather data, the UV Index, front and center. Use this app to track your UV exposure, help plan your day outside, and avoid burning. Perfect for planning your tanning routine.
UV Index Widget - Worldwide is a convenient app that lets you monitor the Sun’s radiation levels anywhere on Earth. It shows the current UV Index, today’s peak forecast, and a 7-day UV forecast. You can add the UV Index to your Home Screen via widgets, receive alerts when UV Index reaches specific levels, and automatically log the data to your Apple Health app.
The app instantly displays your current UV Index (UVI) in an easy-to-understand format. Just tap and hold to view today's highest UVI reading. You can also check the sunrise and sunset times, along with the moment when the UV Index peaks.
7-day hour-by-hour forecast:
The Forecast tab provides an hour-by-hour UVI prediction for the next 7 days.
My Skin:
In the My Skin section, select your skin type for tailored safety tips and recommendations. You can also monitor your sun exposure and receive alerts when there’s a high risk of sunburn. Additionally, the app tracks your Vitamin D production from sunlight and automatically syncs the data to your Apple Health app.
Places:
In the Places tab, you can select any location around the world to see its current UV radiation and a 7-day forecast. It's a great tool for checking the UV levels at your travel destination before you head out.
Widget:
The app offers a variety of Home Screen widgets and Lock Screen Widgets, designed for both your iPhone and Apple Watch. Choose from multiple options to customize your experience on the Home Screen, Today view and Apple Watch.
Notifications:
The app alerts you when the UV Index exceeds your specified threshold, sending a notification whenever your area's UV levels surpass that mark. It also warns you when you're at high risk of sunburn and reminds you to reapply sunscreen.
Apple Health app:
The app automatically logs your location's hourly UV Index and the vitamin D generated from sun exposure into the Apple Health app. Open Apple Health to review your UV exposure history and vitamin D data.
Apple Watch:
Monitor the UV Index directly from your watch. Tap and hold to view today's peak UVI, just like in the iOS app. The watch app also features a My Skin section and a 7-day hourly forecast. Additionally, you can always check the UVI right on your favorite watch face using the included UVI complications.
The app will work anywhere in the world, and is a perfect companion whether you are at home or travelling.

Ratings and Reviews
Life saver!
This app is a life saver for me literally. Having survived a diagnosis of stage 4 Melanoma, I use this app every day to see when it’s safe for me to walk the dog or garden. I know when to cover up thanks to this app. It’s quick, easy and accurate to check our harsh Aussie sun’s UV levels. Thank you!!!
Just recently I’ve noticed my iPad and iPhone give different readings. The iPad has the pro version and the iPhone the free. The readings on the iPad are always too low compared to the phone. Weird.
That’s the only reason for the 3 stars, otherwise it would be 5. I rely on this app so much.
Difficult to predict based on their wheel
I downloaded 5 similar apps to test them all out, and I gravitated towards this one first because of the nice graphic. However, the rotating wheel, rotates in the wrong direction, and instead of showing you how the UV index increases throughout the day and decreases towards the evening, it is more binary, and will only show you first thing in the morning, midday, and late in the evening. That’s no good for me. I need to know during the daytime when it’s okay for me to be outside, but this app can’t tell you. Instead of going from green to Orange to read to purple, it can only go from yellow to purple and nowhere in between on those days when it is extreme. And in Sydney during the summer every day is extreme. It would’ve been nice if they allowed feedback from within the app, but obviously they are not interested, so I am better off forgetting this and moving onto the next app.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for the feedback! I’m actually working on an update these days that will allow you to drag the sun left and right on the top graph, that way you can check the UVIndex any time during the day :) And also a direct feedback button is coming :) Hope to see you keep using my app!
Need auto-update function
This app is perfect for my childcare centre. We use it to constantly show children the UV here in Australian, and keep them safe.
However, I would love if the app updated the UV automatically ever 1-5 minutes when left open.
Currently we have to tap the screen to update the UV, which isn’t perfect. Perhaps an option to apply for educational or childcare purposes with different functionality? We just love the UV display but only want that!
Developer Response ,
Thank you for this feedback! I’ll add an auto update of the UI in the next app update. Will try to fix this ASAP.
