UV index

UV Index is a UV monitoring tool designed for Android devices. It allows users to track real-time UV index levels and view forecasts for the coming hours and days. The app provides practical advice based on current UV intensity, calculates safe sun-exposure duration—factoring in the SPF of your sunscreen and your specific skin type—and offers home-screen widgets for quick data access. You can start using the app immediately, with no account registration required.

This app is a real help. My greyhound has pannus, an eye disease, and UV rays adversely affects his eyes. A quick check on this app lets me know if I need to put his protective goggles on.

I Love This App I Just Got It And It Gives Me Advice Based On My Skin Tone. Great For All Skin Tones

Good little program! Lightweight, gives just the info I need for sunbathing without burning. Well done!
