I only started using this today. [Temperature issue fixed when I woke up this morning so yay! Thank you.] I'm not sure if the timeframe when the UV is worst is accurate since the sun is up almost 24 hours at the moment. Interior Alaska is hot in the summer and part of the Northern Hemisphere. I'm going to try it longer and see what data I can get from other sources to compare. Edited

Have been using the app religiously for years across multiple phones. In the last several months, it's consistently taking longer to load and having errors connecting to the server to update. The last week it has barely worked.

I have to give it a 2 star review after this new upgrade that makes it impossible to add my location in the United States. For NY State there is only New York city that is available or Canada. NY State has other cities that I want to pick from for location. I use this app all the time and the fact that I can not continue with more accurate location is disappointing. I have the newest phone and GPS location turned on.please fix the problem. I love this app and would like to use it again

Love this app. I use it daily. I've rated it 5 stars because it does what it says it will do. What I would love to see added as a feature however is an option to enter when you last applied sunscreen and an alert for when you need to reapply. Preferably broken down by area of the body as I generally do my face first thing when I'm getting ready in the morning regardless and other areas later if I'm going out in the UV period.
