Its a great little app for those that are easily sunburnt, has been a godsend in the past. But when I try to open it currently it throws an error message "Data missing or incomplete" I know it gets its UV data from NIWA, but when I checked on their site there is nothing to say it has been discontinued. The cancer society / sunsmart site also still shows it as current too. Cant find anything else about it online.

Anyone else use this app for Android (or IoS)? Is it still working for you?

Edit: have discovered that the developer Jeremy Burke has put out a new version called GlobalUV which I'm trying now, that looks quite similar and seems to be working

I've been using UVLens. I've just dowloaded GlobalUV and it's interesting, seems to have more data but it's a bit harder to understand what's happening I think. I might use GlobalUV for a while this summer and see if I like it.

Other app I've had in the interim was Sunsmart, which is alos a global UV app, got it for Australia when i was there last year

Nice, I've installed that one too. Lot's of choice, now I just need to wait for some UV.
