Questions

Frequently asked.

Is SunTan a replacement for sunscreen?

Absolutely not. SunTan helps you plan smarter exposure, but SPF stays the hero. The app even reminds you to reapply.

How does it know my "safe time"?

We combine your skin type, the live UV index for your location, and your recent sessions to estimate a conservative safe-exposure window.

Does it work outside summer?

Yes — SunTan is most useful in shoulder seasons when UV is sneakily high. Vitamin D tracking works year-round.

Which platforms do you support?

iOS first, with iPhone widgets and Apple Watch complications. Android is on the roadmap.

How much does it cost?

Free to start. SunTan Pro unlocks personalised plans, alerts and history at a small monthly subscription.
