Free smartphone UV app with global coverage

SunSmart Global UV is a free UV tracking app for iPhones and Android smartphones that reports UV index forecasts and tries to limit sun exposure when UV radiation levels reach dangerous levels. Used for sunbathing as well as outdoor activities, this UV safety tracker works with locations across the globe.

What is a UV safety app?

Sun UV trackers can determine harmful UV levels even when it’s not warm and sunny outside. They warn users that sun exposure may pose risks, and they notify people when to apply sunscreen and cover up to minimize overexposure.

How do I use the SunSmart Global UV app?

The app enables users to select locations from a database of major cities. They can then view 5-day weather forecasts, UV index readings, and time windows for safe exposure to the sun. Handy little icons will also show recommended measures, such as the minimum SPF levels and adequate coverings.

UV safety app for sunbathing and outings

SunSmart Global UV is a free UV app that determines radiation levels and sun exposure risks, warning its users to take precautions whenever the UV index is 3 or above. It can be set up to send daily forecasts and recommendations, as well as sunscreen reminders for up to 2 hours.

However, users who download the SunSmart Global UV free app may be disappointed to find that it lacks many of the features available to competing apps. This includes personalized sun exposure and vitamin D tracking based on skin type, existing tan, SPF, and sunbathing practices.
