Oh boy, this is lovely! I got sunburnt in Scotland in a cloudy day, but never again! Awesome :) Ps. I really liked the app, just got it installed and selected my skin type (II), so I'll certainly use it in weekends and such. Is it free always by the way @techno246 ? :-)

@victormanriquey Thanks! :D as a Kiwi, I have been burnt far too many times here in New Zealand! So that's why we decided to do something about. And like you said, clouds can be very deceptive... as well as heat, since you can't actually feel UV (heat is from infrared)

@victormanriquey Gladto hear you like the app! What's free now will always be free! I am also a huge disbeliever in banner ads... So there won't be any ads any time soon either haha

@techno246 Ah that's great! :) I'm going on vacation soon, so I'll make sure to check the app beforehands, and in any case, +50 FTW hahaha

@victormanriquey you know that the sunscreen protection increase from SPF 30 to SPF 50 is roughly 1%, right? :)

@quad_bx I did not know no, any article where I can read about it? :-)

@victormanriquey here you go: http://www.skincancer.org/skin-c... :) SPF 30 filters around 97% UVB rays, whilst SPF 50 does 98%.

@quad_bx Thanks! That was explained quite nicely. I also did not know the difference between UVB and UVA, but I'll have a look next time. I usually just checked for +50 and that was it. Also interesting to know about the 2 mm and 0,5 mm difference, the effect is quite massive as they say :-)
